Atlántida es el nombre de una isla mítica mencionada y descrita en los diálogos Timeo y Critias, textos del filósofo griego Platón.Los escritos de Platón sitúan la isla «delante de las Columnas de Hércules»; la describen como «más grande que Libia y Asia juntas», y la señalan como una potencia marítima que 9000 años antes de la época del legislador ateniense Solón habría conquistado gran parte de Europa y el norte de África, siendo sólo detenida por una hipotética Atenas prehelénica, después de lo cual habría desaparecido en el mar posiblemente a causa de un violento terremoto y de un gran diluvio, «en un solo día y una noche terrible».La descripción de los textos de Platón y el hecho de que en ellos parece narrarse una historia verdadera, ha llevado a que, especialmente a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, durante el Romanticismo, se hayan propuesto numerosas conjeturas sobre la existencia y real ubicación de la isla. No obstante, hoy se sabe que el relato presenta anacronismos y datos imposibles, lo que descartaría su verosimilitud literal. Con todo, se admite la posibilidad de que el mito haya sido inspirado en un fondo de realidad histórica vinculado a alguna catástrofe natural.

Now, official documents and first-hand stories have been revealed. Here is the truth in a report so shattering it is difficult to believe it''s NOT fiction.
