2. Introduction
Why is it even that after thousands of years, so many
of us still search for the answer to this mystery? Did it
exist or didn't it. We can't seem to let go of it.
Ever since the first recorded history of Atlantis,
written by the Greek philosopher Plato over 2,360
years ago, debate has raged as to whether or not
Atlantis ever really existed.

3. Around 350 BC, Plato wrote about a beautiful island in
the Atlantic Ocean that went under the ocean waves in
one day and one night.
It took two books
to describe the
history and details
of this
almost magical
island. For years
people have been
looking for this
mysterious lost
city, Atlantis.

4. The land was said to have been very fertile, with
abundant food, water, animals, wood, and flowers. But,
as the story goes, after several generations of ruling the
leaders became increasingly greedy and corrupt, and
started to wage war on their neighboring countries
It is shortly after the victory by the Athenians that the
entire Island continent of Atlantis, got submerged
beneath the sea "in a single day and night".

5. Did Plato write this as a
moralistic story or as a true
historic account? Did Atlantis
really exist or not?

6. The Poseidon Theory
 Over 11000 years ago in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean
there was an island
inhabited by great and
wealthy people.
 Then greed started to take
over them and they were
obsessed with money.
 Poseidon, the god of water,
got mad at them for being
obsessed with money. So
he made the ocean cover
the city of Atlantis and it was
gone with the sea.

7. Is It- Just a Story?
• For over two thousand years the story of Atlantis
was just a story. Then, in the late 1800s, an
American named Ignatius Donnelly became
fascinated with the story and wrote a book
called Atlantis, the Antediluvian World, which
became a bestseller.
• Ignatius studied flood history from Egypt to
Mexico and believed that Plato was recording an
actual natural disaster. Since then, several books
have been written about the lost city.

8. CONCLUSION
 So what do you think really happened to the city of
Atlantis? Do you think Atlantis was real?
 With our technology advancing in leaps and
bounds, we have never stood a better chance of
finding Atlantis than we do now. And It may be our
generation that finds it, after 11,600 years. Let’s
Hope we do!
