Atlantis Research Paper

Atlantis was an island that was larger than Libya and Asia Minor put together as described by the Athenian philosopher Plato. Atlantis was located in the Atlantic just beyond the Pillars of Hercules generally assumed to mean the Strait of Gibraltar. Its culture was advanced and it had a constitution suspiciously similar to the one outlined in Plato’s “Republic.” It was protected by the god Poseidon, who made his son Atlas king and namesake of the island and the ocean that surrounded it.(lookup) As the Atlanteans grew powerful, their ethics declined. Their armies eventually conquered Africa as far as Egypt and Europe as far as Tyrrhenia before being driven back by an Athenian-led alliance. Later, by way of divine punishment, the island was beset

Atlantis was an extraordinary city that tragically and mysteriously vanished from a day and a night. The story that Plato said is that Atlantis was a island that was better than life itself, As Stemman stated in his book about Atlantis “Poseidon, Greek God of the sea and also of earthquakes was given Atlantis, and there he fell in love with a mortal called Cleito” (56). The city of Atlantis is a place that had questionable existence, Atlantis was a real naval power in the ancient world, but sunk into the ocean. Everything about it was extraordinary including the people that lived there. But something happened and it is to be

in a cataclysmic event. For long it has been debated that Atlantis was not a factual civilization but either counts as one of the many known myths of a destructive deluge, or merely serves as a metaphor for the Greek philosopher Plato to debate the consequences for a society that fails in its moral code of conduct. The extinction of Atlantis was linked in the late 1930s to a volcanic disaster that befell the island of Thera some 113 kilometers from Crete at a time when the Minoan civilization flourished.

      Atlantis is known to most people as a legend or myth written by the Greek poet Plato, but is it possible that this lost continent really existed? Is it all legend or could there be some fact to it? Contrary to common belief there have been numerous geological and historical findings that actually give proof to the existence of this lost city. In the book Imagining Atlantis it tells us the story written by Plato. "According to ancient Egyptian temple records the Athenians fought an aggressive war against the rulers of Atlantis some nine thousand years earlier

Atlantis is a city that was never found or even placed on a map but only mentioned in a book

Philosopher Sir Francis Bacon wrote of a fictitious island in a short story called The New Atlantis. The island Bensalem is unlike any other in terms of societal advancement, however, with strict laws to follow. Power within the leaders is needed to create and mandate the laws on Bensalem. The story illustrates three different types of leaders with that power: religion, government, and scientists. While all three are relevant, scientists and religious leaders are the two magnified throughout The New Atlantis.

Atlantis was first known in the B.C. era; it was written by a Greek philosopher named Plato. (Livescience) Many stories are told about Atlantis and one specifically told by a famous psychic in the 1920s named Edgar Cayce. (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. Some psychic archaeology dates back hundreds of years. The fountain of youth is location that everyone can recognize as a myth, yet the story is amazing and is proposed by a Spanish explorer in the 1500s. Some megalithic or cyclopean structures were found using psychic archaeology, but way they were discovered is inconclusive. When sites are found, scientific archaeologist say the psychic could have known about the site or had information previous to the

After that many stories went around. People and the ancient times made stories and tales. Over time scientists discovered "Atlantis". It was a swampy area but it was where people described it. There was an underwater volcano that took it down. I found all this at History.com, at the atlantis discussion area. So do you think atlantis

Through all of my information on Atlantis, I confirmed my hypothesis. Though many conclude that Plato's story shows trueness, there shows no true, valid evidence of Atlantis. Atlantis historical background starts around when Plato wrote his first books, the Critias and Timaeus. Scholars study on how Atlantis was found by only Plato. " Volcanic eruptions destroyed most of Thira about 1470 B.C. and largely wiped out the Minoan civilization, which had flourished on both Thira and Crete.

He knew the ability of the book, however, he did not know the limitations of the book. He had not realized that The Book created the other book to be inferior. Atlantis became way too powerful, but luckily none of the citizens of Atlantis wanted to start a war. Bhalenox blamed himself for allowing this to happen. Before Atlantis had gotten too out of hand, he had tried to destroy it using The Book. First, he tried to destroy the new book… no luck. Second, he tried to destroy the island of Atlantis… still no luck. He figured out then that The Book was not able to destroy its creations.

Around these years Atlantis rose from Timaeus and Critias, two very powerful beings in which no one knows their origin. The last setting in the website is Mount Olympus. Mount Olympus changes where it is every so often so no one can pinpoint where it is. Mount Olympus is a key setting because worshippers of the Greek Gods would bring meals, or offerings to them and this is how they would pray to the

Imagine you are searching for the lost city of Atlantis. You find an underground cave, but it seems like a dead end. As your about to give up, you accidentally knock over a rock that collapses the cave. Once you take a second look, you realize that not only have you destroyed the cave, you've found a hidden passage that leads to Atlantis. See, some mistakes can really impact you or something around you, either negatively or positively. In this case, your mistake would have been for the greater good. Although some mistakes can be a set–back, they are also key to making new discoveries, hence the "discovery" of Atlantis.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is located on the west of the Chilean coast in the South Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most deserted islands in the world. It was founded by a Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday April 5, 1722. That is where the name “Easter Island” comes from. The island is small measuring 60 sq. miles. Rapa Nui is mostly famous for the obscure statues ( Moai’s) that are giant human statues that are all spread all throughout the island. Archaeologists are still examining today how the early settlements moved them from where they are today.
