Plato first wrote about the lost city of Atlantis in ancient times. According to his descriptions, Atlantis was a highly advanced civilization located in the Atlantic Ocean. The story claims Atlantis was destroyed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that caused tsunamis, sinking the island beneath the sea. While some believe Atlantis was fictional, others argue geological evidence supports the existence of a catastrophic event in the Mediterranean around 9600 BC that may have destroyed a real but lost civilization. To this day, the debate continues over whether Plato's story was based on fact or was entirely imaginary.
