Kisah Atlantis pertama kali muncul dalam buku Timaeus dan Critias yang terbit pada 347 SM, buku-buku itu dibuat oleh seorang filsuf dan matematikawan Yunani, yang bernama Plato. Timaeus dan Critias adalah sebuah buku yang ditulis dalam rupa dialog yang terjadi antara Timaeus, Critias, Hermocrates dan Socrates. Dalam buku itu, kisah Atlantis diceritakan oleh Critias yang mendengar kisah itu dari kakeknya yang juga bernama Critias. Sedangkan Critias (sang kakek) mendengarnya dari Solon. Dan, Solon mendengarnya dari para pendeta Mesir. Timaeus hanya sedikit menyinggung soal Atlantis. Sedangkan Critias lebih banyak mendeskripsikan Atlantis.

How much do you know about Atlantis?
What was the civilization of Atlantis Light on this planet like at that time?
Myths about the continent of Atlantis have never been told, discussed by the people from time to time.
Atlantis itself is a legendary city depicted in the work of the Greek philosopher Plato around 429 to 347 BC.
The story of Atlantis first appeared in the book of Timaeus and Critias, which was written in 347 BC.
The books were written by a Greek philosopher and mathematician named Plato.
Timaeus and Critias are a book written in the form of a dialogue between Timaeus, Critias, Hermocrates and Socrates.
In the book, the story of Atlantis is told by Critias who hears the story from his grandfather who is also named Critias.
While Critias's grandfather heard it from Solon and Solon heard it from the Egyptians.
Timaeus only touched on Atlantis a little while Critias described Atlantis more.
Atlantis civilization is the fourth civilization on earth in the Mayan tribal record also known as the civilization of light.
According to legend, there is an ancient continent with a high level of civilization development.
The earliest images of Atlantis are in the two dialogues of Plato, Timaeus and Critias,
which was written in 360 BC contains the first reference to Atlantis which says that the continent was destroyed by a flood in 10,000 BC.
According to the Mayan calendar calendar, there are five cycles of destruction and rebirth back in the world of human life.
And the fourth human civilization is the Atlantis civilization will be destroyed by a terrible flood.
In his note, Plato wrote that 9,000 BC across the Hercules Pillars or Gibraltar Strait, there is a very large island.
From there you can go to the other island. Across the islands is all the land around the ocean, that is the kingdom of Atlantis.
At that time, Atlantis was just about to launch a major war with Athena.
But unexpectedly Atlantis suddenly experienced earthquakes and floods, not until one night it sank to the bottom of the sea.
According to legend, Poseidon, the god of the sea, created the kingdom of Atlantis.
On a small island there is an orphan girl named Cleito.
Poseidon married the girl and gave birth to five children.
Poseidon then divided the island into ten districts and handed over ten of his sons to the government.
Poseidon raised his eldest son as the highest ruler.
Because his eldest son is named Atlas, the country is also called the Kingdom of Atlantis.
The Atlantis civilization is very advanced. The social class is also very clear.
The population is about 12 million people.
The division of labor in the field of agriculture is very detailed.
Can harvest twice a year at an appropriate rate.
There is a systematic writing system.
Starting to use noble loggers.
The trade in the sea is very prosperous.
Legend has it that Atlantis has a number of large buildings for the public.
Such as Poseidon Temple, Amphitheater, Arena, public baths and other public facilities.
In addition, the military organization is very tight.
Divided into 90,000 military districts.
Each district is led by a commander who is responsible for mobilizing soldiers, horses and war trains as well as all the necessary equipment.
Atlantis buildings form a concentric circle.
Along with the gradual deepening of the center, the gradual limitation of identity becomes tighter.
The circle in the ring is the most important temple and reservation.
The beauty of urban architecture makes people feel the nuance of music.
The dome is gilded, which is due to the difference in wind and temperature will create a harmonious sound.
For Atlantis, the three are one of the most important characteristics.
A complex of buildings consisting of three similar buildings and three pyramids forming a tower.
Every street in the city is spread diagonally.
From one corner of the beach to the other and many underground corridors that are complex underground.
Here are a number of hypotheses related to Atlantis.
Sahara Eye Theory or Richard Structure
In a place in the Sahara Desert in Africa, a very similar situs was found to the image of Atlantis thousands of years ago.
The place meant by this is the Richard Structure, also known as the Sahara Eye,
located in the small city of Wadden in the western Mauritanian Sea.
The strange circular structure is suspected to be an asteroid hit,
but at the moment there is no credible evidence to prove this suspicion.
Scientists suspect that it is a natural phenomenon, but its formation is still a mystery.
From Google Maps images, the diameter of the outer circle of the Richard Structure is 23.5 km.
In Plato's notes, the city of Atlantis is depicted at a distance of 127 stadia,
one stadia is approximately 185 meters or 23.49 km according to the current size standard.
The characteristics of the land of Atlantis in Plato's Critias book are described as the following.
Poseidon then split the land around the hill where Kleito lives so that the hill is separated from the other plain.
The hill is now surrounded by a circular sea.
Poseidon made two parts of the land like this so that the total became two lands surrounded by three waters.
Each land has a circle that is the same distance from the center of the island,
so no one and no ship can reach the island.
If observed from the air through a satellite, the Richard Structure is very similar to the description in Plato's book.
In addition, Plato's description of mountains in the north of the city and a long rectangular plain in the south
seems to match the topography of the Sahara Mountains.
Cyprus Theory
According to American explorer Robert Sarmers, who claims to be an expert in ancient mythology and studies,
Atlantis is indeed like what is mentioned in his book, Discovery of Atlantis.
Sarmers uses Plato's description as the main basis for his research.
He said that Plato gave a specific indication of Atlantis,
45 indications including showing Atlantis located in the southern waters of Cyprus
and said that the shape of the ancient Cyprus land shown in the oceanographic map matched the description of Plato.
Sarmers even said that he found many places called Plato,
including a square plane with the city of Atlantis in the middle.
The center of the theory is that a flood disaster once occurred in the Mediterranean basin in ancient times
which connects the Mediterranean to the Atlantic on the Strait of Gibraltar at this time.
This statement is in accordance with Plato's statement that the great flood covered the entire Atlantis
and matched the theory of the great flood at that time.
Train Theory
Meanwhile, according to other theories, Atlantis is on a train, the largest island in the Greek region.
Because British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans found a large collapse on a train island before World War II
in addition to the discovery of a volcano crater on the small island of Tera, also known as Santorini,
a volcano island in the Greek Aegean Sea which is now an inland sea and was previously evidence of a small island.
Therefore, there are those who suspect that the island of Tera is the origin of the Atlantis legend
because according to research around the 15th century BC or 900 BC in the era of Plato,
there was a major eruption on Mount Santorini.
The eruption of Mount Berapi caused the destruction of the civilization city built above Kawah and also caused a tsunami.
The eruption of Mount Berapi also caused a hit on the Minoan civilization
which had initially grown in trade and collapsed since then.
Those who support this theory say that Plato or his cousin Critias or Soron
who first heard the story, misinterpreted the number so that the number was exaggerated more than 10 times
from what should be 900 years to 9,000 years
from the size of 40,000 square miles to 400,000 square miles
until it became a legend like this.
The South Pole Theory
Those who support this theory are represented by archaeologist and writer Graham Hancock.
This theory says that Atlantis may be in the Antarctic coast
and quotes the theory of the Earth's tilt to explain the destruction of Atlantis.
This theory says that Atlantis not only experienced the disaster of Mount Berapi and other disasters
but was also accompanied by other disasters in the form of extreme cold temperatures
causing the Atlanteans to leave their homeland
and immediately after that the Antarctic coast was covered with thick layers of ice.
Gibraltar Theory
According to Colina Girard, a geography professor at the University of Provence
Atlantis described in Plato's book is located on the Gibraltar Strait today.
Colina studied the history of human immigration from Europe to North Africa 19,000 years ago
and suspected that during the Atlantis period
the Gibraltar Strait had a land higher than the surface of the sea
and the continent of Atlantis is between Andalusia Spain and North Africa Morocco now.
Ireland Theory
Atlantis book from a geographer's perspective
Mapping the Parallel that was published in 2004 by Swedish geographer
Olof Arlingson said that the island of Ireland is the continent of Atlantis.
The main view comes from the island country described by Plato
very similar to the island of Ireland, both in size and topography.
In addition, the two have a megalithic maca culture.
The legend of the sinking of Atlantis may date back to 6100 BC
when the end of the Ice Age caused the surface of the sea to rise and flood many coastal islands.
Representation that has indeed been confused in the long run
making the legend of the sinking of the island more and more exaggerated as a disaster.
Cadiz Theory, a city in southern Spain
There are experts who say that Atlantis is located near Cadiz, Spain.
In 2011, the discovery of archaeology in the land of the Donana National Park in northern Cadiz, Spain
by Professor Richard Frohn of Harvard University
said that this place is Atlantis that was destroyed by a tsunami.
