Atlantis is a legendary island said to have existed some 11,000 years ago as described by the Greek philosopher Plato. While its exact location remains unknown, Plato placed it in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Many expeditions have searched for Atlantis in locations around the world without success. According to legend, Atlantis was a highly advanced civilization created by the god Poseidon for his mortal lover. However, the Atlantians grew greedy and powerful and were punished by Zeus, who destroyed the entire island continent by submerging it beneath the sea.

Atlantis

3. Atlantis:-
A legendary island sometimes referred to as the 'lost city of
Atlantis' that was said to exist some 11,000 years ago. The Greek
philosopher Plato mentioned Atlantis in some of his works and
today it remains one of the most sought after 'lost cities' in
history.

4. Location:-
The exact location of Atlantis is a topic of considerable
debate. Plato described it as being 'in front of the Pillars of
Hercules' in reference to the rock of Gibralter and North
Africa. Expeditions and research intended to uncover the
true location have taken academics and scholars all over the
world from Greece to the United States and to even more
unlikely locations such as Antarctica. While several claims
of its discovery have been put forward none of them have
been satisfactorily confirmed, at this time the site of
Atlantis remains undiscovered.

5. Legend:-
The original story of Atlantis is long and diverse but
it is said that Poseidon, God of the Sea, created the
island for his love, a mortal woman named Cleito.
On the top of the hill in the centre of the island a
great temple was constructed to honour Poseidon as
well as a large golden statue of him riding a Chariot
pulled by winged horses. The combined size of the
Continent on which Atlantis became situated was
particularly vast and a great number of people came
to live and work there. For many centuries the
Atlanta's lived out there lives with peace a

6. and dignity, fulfilling their
daily chores with
contentment and
determination. However,
before too long greed and
power began to overwhelm
many of them and Zeus
decided to punish Atlantis.
Soon afterwards the entire
Continent was lost under the
ocean.

7. An advanced
culture:-
Some stories and theories suggest that Atlantis was
a highly advanced civilization that in some
accounts was said to possess spacefaring
technologies in advance to those of the modern day.
Some believe the Atlanta's did not perish beneath
the sea but instead blasted off in to space while
some believe they could have originally reached
Earth from another planet.

8. A Japanese construction
company is planning to
build underwater
complexes that corkscrew
in to the ocean:-

9. Shimizu Inc. is pursuing a rather unique
solution to the planet's overpopulation
problems by designing a new type of
habitation that will enable people to live
within the depths of the sea.
Consisting of a large globe that can either
float on the surface or submerge
underwater, each complex could house a
mixture of commercial buildings, hotels
and residential homes. A special corkscrew
shaped structure underneath would keep it
stable in the water and make it possible for
it to sink to avoid bad weather.

10. "The company and many other
organizations have spent two
years designing the project,
working with technologies we
think will be plausible in the
future," said a spokesman.
Some of the these technologies
include using microorganisms to
convert carbon dioxide in to
oxygen and a system to generate
energy from differences in water
temperature.
