Atlantis was an ancient city that, according to Plato, was located in the Atlantic Ocean. Plato described Atlantis as a powerful and advanced kingdom that sank into the sea in a single day and night between 9,000 and 11,000 years ago due to earthquakes and floods. While some believe Atlantis actually existed, many think Plato invented the story to teach moral and philosophical lessons. There are several theories about the possible location of Atlantis, including in the Mediterranean Sea, near the Azores Islands, or that it was part of the Minoan civilization in the Aegean Sea. No conclusive evidence has been found to prove if the legendary city truly existed.
