Who created the lost city of atlantis?
I am sure those of you reading this page would have more or less known something about the lost island/continent of Atlantis, and have different perspectives about the existence of it. If you think that Atlantis ever existed: 1) Atlantis is the missing piece of land between North America and Western Europe in the theory of Pangaea. 2) There are many pieces of evidences (e.g. Pictures of a city claiming to be Atlantis...) posted on the Net. 3) The descriptions of it are so attractive you have no choice but to believe it. 4) Your ancestors are Atlanteans! If you think that Atlantis NEVER existed: 1) You simply do not believe in myths. 2) The area of Atlantis was too big to be fitted into the North Atlantic Ocean... 3) Atlantis, a big landmass, could not have just sunk overnight despite the number of natural disasters that occurred there. 4) There is lack of evidence and you are not convinced. 5) There are too many different pieces of evidence on the Net you do not know which one to believe in. 6) Plato's description (the advanced technology at that time, the amount of riches...) are simply too difficult to believe. You are all kindly requested to revisit Plato. Atlantis did exist and part of its remainings are the Azores islands. The disaster was of human activity [nuclear war?] 15.000 years ago
Plato wrote about this in 448 BC.

Many people believe that the historical basis for the Atlantis myth was the Minoan civilization on the island of Thera in the Mediterranean (now called Santorini).
The Minoan eruption is a key marker for the Bronze Age chronology of the Eastern Mediterranean world.
The Island exploded in a huge volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization across the whole Mediterranean somewhere between 1627 BCE and 1600 BCE.
When did the lost city of atlantis sink?
Atlantis first came to light in the writings of Plato, the eminent Greek Philosopher in what we now call 360 BC ( Boxing the Compass). He mentioned it in two dialogues. There are no sources independent of Plato ( from his time period) for the alleged Lost Continent. Atlantis- manned and populated , figures in DC comics in both the Aquaman series and the character of Lori Lemaris, Superman"s mermaid paramour who occasionally floats into action in various DC specials. Tritonis is the capital city of Atlantis in DC Universe. How Wonder Woman got mixed up with the aquatic-Nea, Neptunian- Atlantean Trident symbol- wielded by Queen Hippolyta I do not know. It is a maritime symbol.
Nobody 'owns' Atlantis just like nobody 'owns' Asia if you own something that means you bought it or you were given it.
In fact, I've been to Atlantis and I am an Atlanteon.

In most cases, the legendary city sank after an earthquake or possibly a volcanic event. In some cases this is blamed on gods, or science, or magic, or even aliens.
The lost city of Atlantis was referenced by Plato, from some unknown historical document. Some equate it with one or another actual ancient city, as several coastal and island settlements had been submerged after severe earthquakes.
In other references it is a mythical continent, on a smaller scale than Laurasia or Gondwanaland.
Plato said that:
"... there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished."

Before the theory of continental drift explained the presence of similar animals in widely separated land masses. The the lost continent theory emerged to explain why fossil records showed signs of lemurs existing not only in Madagascar as they do now but also in India.
The geologist Philip Sclater arrived at the theory that Madagascar and India had once been connected by land mass. This super continent he dubbed Lemuria after the lemurs.
Later the founder of Spiritualism Madam Blavatsky claimed that Lemuria had been a continent on which the third "root race" evolved and that it had been sunken by angry gods when the Lemurians started performing bestiality.
Mu was first mentioned by Augustus Le Plongeon an antiquarian who believed he had translated ancient Mayan writing that had said that the Mayans came from a lost continent named Mu. The translations he used were later found to be incorrect and no lost continent of Mu is mentioned in them.
Mu has roots in Native American Legend as well. The Chumash people of southern California have told stories of the "First People." They speak of a land called Mu, often referred to as Lemuria.
Traces of this lost culture are believed to exist in California. Journalist Robert Stanley claims monoliths, one resembling the Egyptian Sphynx, walls, culverts, and stone platforms exist in a remote section of Southern California mountains. Mysterious stone walls are also found throughout northern California, which do not correspond with borders or property lines. These walls were recorded by the spanish when they first explored California. The native Americans looked at these walls with mysticim and do not know their origin. Caves full of crystalline sculptures are said to be hiding in so cal mountains, and the Chumash people are scared of them. These figures are claimed to represent ancient animals, unknown to the stone age Indians.
Likewise, local legend tells of a cave culture hidden beneath mount shasta in California. This civilization is said to be lavishly constructed of crystal and magnificent metal, with crystal temples. This seems scientifically possible, after all an enourmous cave of crystals was discovered in Mexico. Tall, fairskinned, blue eyed grey haired people are rumored to drift about in localities near, and lights are seen on the mountain.
It is also known that a great flood or catastrophic rise in sea level submerged a southern California valley, bordered on the north by the Santa Monica mountains, and on the south by the present day channel islands. On this archipelago, the oldest human remains in America were found, dated at 13,000 years old.
A lynguistic link with Mu may exist within Chumash language. Many of the villages in the vicinity of the monoliths and caves end with the sequence of letters, "mu."
A giant submerged pyramid was discovered in Japan, and a similar sunken pyramid was said to be discovered near Hawaii, and covered up by the Navy.
Both Lemuria and Mu have come back into pop culture do to the reptoid conspiracy theories by such people as David Icke.
