The Lost Civilization of Atlantis is a theory that has puzzled archaeologists, historians, and astronomers for years. This resource is designed to help you learn more or find information on Atlantis.
The story of Atlantis begins quite literally with two of Plato's dialogues, Timaeus* and
Critias*. These accounts are the only known written records which refer specifcally
to a lost civilization called Atlantis. Many people believe the tale to be complete
fiction, the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument.
Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events which may have
destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera. Still others maintain that the
story is an accurate representation of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land.

Plato was a student of Socrates until the latter's death in 399 BC at the hands of the
Athenian authorities. After his teacher's death, Plato traveled extensively, including
journeys in Egypt.
In 387 BC he returned to Athens and founded the Academy, a school of science
and philosophy, that became the model for the modern university. Perhaps the most famous student of the Academy was Aristotle whose teachings have had tremendous impact on philosophy through today.
Due to the Academy's safekeeping, many of Plato's works have survived. His extant
writings are in the form of letters and dialogues, the most famous of which is
probably The Republic. His writings cover subjects ranging from knowledge to
happiness to politics to nature.
* Timaeus:
Serves only as a brief introduction to Atlantis, a preface. The majority of the writing actually deals with a description of the creation of the world and explanation of natural phenomena.
* Critias:
Provides a detailed description of the lost island and its people as well as information about the ancient Athenians.
