Atlantis: Real or Not?

In the first centuries of the Christian era, Aristotle was taken at his word and Atlantis was little discussed.(lookup) In 1627, the English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon published a unrealistic novel titled “The New Atlantis,” depicting, like Plato before him, a politically and scientifically advanced society on a previously unknown oceanic island.

Similar to the majority of Americans, I was not aware that America was inhabited before Columbus’ journey. It was surprising to learn that so many Natives had populated the continent.

(Livescience) Edgar began telling the future for certain people that said they had an affiliation in the past with Atlantis. After foreseeing the future for an abundant number of people, Edgar claimed that Atlantis was to be discovered in 1969, which has not been found.

Atlantis is one of the largest mysteries in the entire world. Many people have debated for year’s weather or not the city of Atlantis ever truly existed. Various people say that it's just a myth. However, there is evidence to prove that Atlantis did once exist.
