According to a National Geographic TV program investigation; Atlantis was probably a island nation in the Mediterranean Sea that was destroyed by a volcano and the follow up earthquake several hundred years ago. No, Atlantis is not the 8th continent. It never was and never will be the 8th continent.

Plato was the first person to publish his views on Atlantis in his publication called the Timaeus.
