Others say that aliens came to Earth to create a civilization.
Or a symbol of the ancient higher civilization.
But now there is no way to verify it, only in the various ancient texts can see its looming figure.
The existence of "Atlantis" has always been controversial
"Atlantis" was first mentioned in Plato's later works, Crete as and Timais, in two dialogues.
Around nine thousand years ago in Solon, across from the Pillar of Hercules (Strait of Gibraltar), there was a large island, the kingdom of 'Atlantis'".
At that time, "Atlantis" was about to start a big war with Athens. Unexpectedly, Atlantis was suddenly hit by earthquakes and floods, and it was completely submerged in less than a day and a night.
The origin and development of "Atlantis" is not really described in the literature, only his demise.
But Plato lived a long way from the time of the fabled Atlantis.
Plato was born in 427 BC
Died in 347 BC
Atlantis, on the other hand, is said to have been destroyed by the Prehistoric Flood 10,000 years ago.
So some scholars of Plato were skeptical of Atlantis. They believed that even if Plato wrote about Atlantis in his book, it would not prove the existence of Atlantis.
And Plato, as a brilliant philosopher, may well have had other implications when he compiled his books.
1. He may have invented an Atlantean state in order to come up with the concept of an ideal state.
Legend about "Atlantis"
The legendary island of Atlantis used to be inhabited by ordinary humans, and suddenly one day Poseidon, the sea king, passed by the island.
He fell in love with a woman on the island whose parents had died and married her, and gave birth to five pairs of twins.
Poseidon divided the island into ten pieces and left them to rule.
The island was named after the consonant of their eldest son's name "Atlas", the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Because Poseidon was a god, the ten sons were also half-human, half-gods.
The island is in addition to gold and silver
There is also a special metal called "mountain copper".
Soon the island's civilization began to develop rapidly, reaching a situation that other civilizations could not match.
Every five to six years, a king would gather at a "Temple of Poseidon," built entirely of gold and silver and mountain bronze, to discuss government affairs.
As it grew, corruption began to emerge within these ten countries.
Zeus, the head of the gods, punished them by launching the famous Great Flood, engulfing the kingdom of Atlantis in one day.
Scholars who believe in the existence of Atlantis today are searching all over the world for the ruins of Atlantis
They believe that as long as they have existed, they will leave traces
The ruins of "Atlantis" were discovered
1. Sink to the bottom of the sea say
American explorer Robert Sammaster found traces of a similar city's remains in the southern waters of Cyprus.
The center of his theory was the ancient "Great Flood Disaster" in the Mediterranean Basin, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean at the present point of the Strait of Gibraltar.
This statement is consistent with Plato's statement that a great flood "engulfed" the island of Atlantis, and that there was a great flood.
2. Antarctic conjecture
Archaeologist and writer Greim Hancock and Lance Flerias
It is believed that antarctica today is the kingdom of Atlantis
It is possible that the movement of the Earth's crust caused by the tsunami at that time moved the entire island to where it is now at The South Pole
In the eyes of the Athenians, it was also the tsunami that made the island disappear. The geographical location of Antarctica has caused the climate on the island to become increasingly harsh.
As a result, the only remaining Atlanteans abandoned their homeland and moved elsewhere to continue their lives.
Whether the island was flooded below today's sea level or moved elsewhere because of crustal movements.
Nowadays, it is impossible to verify

But there is a thing, and if "Atlantis" exists, then this thing must exist.
That's mountain copper
In 2015, archaeologists found 39 metal ingots believed to be mountain copper in a shipwreck on the Costa Sicily.
The initial steps of this shipwreck are determined to be 2600 years ago. They were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence.
It turned out that they were an alloy consisting of 75-80% copper, 15-20% zinc and trace amounts of nickel, lead and iron.
This time it is more evidence that Atlantis may have actually existed on Earth for some time. It was eventually engulfed by the Great Flood.
No matter how powerful the civilization is, it is helpless in the face of the forces of nature, and even the highly developed kingdom of Atlantis is unable to resist natural disasters.
