Atlantis is a legendary ‘Lost Island’ subcontinent often idealised as an advanced, utopian society holding wisdom that could bring world peace. It was thought of as a fictional place mentioned in a fable by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. In 1881, Ignatius Donnelly first propagated the theory that most of the accomplishments of the ancient world–such as metallurgy, agriculture, religion and language–must have come from Atlantis. But archaeology and geology provide the verdict that there was no Atlantic continent and no great civilization called Atlantis. Though Plato is clear about where his Atlantis is yet plate tectonics demonstrate that it’s impossible for Atlantis to exist.
