THE MYSTERY OF ATLANTIS 


Legend or reality? The mystery of Atlantis is still valid despite all the efforts of researchers and explorers to find it, to rebel its enigmas and to reconstruct the history from the truths that hide its location. Maybe many believe that it was simply a story that transcended the history , others believe that was a fact that was lost in the annals of history. If this amazing world really existed, surely it must have been one of the most advanced and sophisticated of all times, although only the opposite could be demonstrated once we have some trace of it.

 

Atlantis, better known as the lost continent, has been known thanks to the descriptions made by the Greek philosopher Plato, in two of his dialogues, Timeo and Critias. According to his writings, describes Atlantis as a terrestrial paradise with great natural resources and flourishing population that disappeared under the sea in a single day, so, if Atlantis had existed, the tribes and races had to move, unfortunately very little is known about their migration.

If we saw Atlantis from a different outlook, it could have a simpler explanation for our ancestors than for us, the contemporaries. Simply had to exist a culture with a higher level of wisdom to explain the knowledge that now we consider as advanced for its time. In a few words, there should have been people with knowledge of difficult topics such as knowledge of planets without the need for a telescope, as a result, these people had to live in a civilization so brilliant that it must have disappeared; otherwise, today it would still be one of the most advanced empires of the "modern world".

In question, the one way to prove its existence, would be find its mysterious location and although many have already tried before, until now it has not been showing where exactly could be established an empire as big as Atlantis, as many support that It was not an island but a continent. However, when we discovered it, in addition to confirming its existence, it may be explain many other mysteries of its time that seem impossible to solve due to the lack of historical records. Now Atlantis will remain a mystery that makes it one of the oldest enigmas.


In conclusion, the mystery of the lost city is part of our history , despite the lack of evidence on which we base to believe that a wonderful civilization such as Atlantis has existed and this legend will endure in the history.
