How did the lost city of Atlantis get it's name you ask. You see, most people like you don't know. I do! It was named it because the the ancient story the 'Golden Mermaid' told that someone stole a golden mermaid from Atlantis then the spirit rose from the dead and hanted everyone. That's why the people of Atlantis named it that to make people think it was lost and they could not steal anything and let the spirit free.
