about a mysterious, magical
city called Atlantis.
 Plato

Classical Greek
philosopher,
mathematician,
and founder of the
Academy in Athens.

 About Atlantis
‫ ﻯ‬Atlantis is a
legendary island.
‫ ﻯ‬Plato believed that
Atlantis was in the
Atlantic ocean near
the Azores.

Bahamas.
 Atlantians
Atlantians were brilliant engineers.
About 12,000 years ago they built
palaces,
Temples, harbours, docks and a very
complicated
water system. Farmers grew food on a
small field and behind the field, where
the mountains met the sky was where
the Atlantians
had their homes. Plato had described
the huge buildings, fountains with hot
and cold running water, walls covered
with precious metals and statues made
of gold.
 Neptun
e
Plato wrote that Neptune the sea god was given Atlantis
and that on a hill in the middle of the island, he built his wife
a palace surrounded by 5 rings of water. It was connected to
land only by tunnels large enough for ships to sail through.
Neptunes wife had five sets of twins, all boys, who each ruled
a part of Atlantis and each one tried to out do the other by building
a bigger kingdom. What was once a peaceful city, now became
greedy and dishonest. Zeus called all the Gods together to try and
sort it out but that was where Plato's story ended....

‫ ﻯ‬Atlantis: The Lost
Empire is a 2001
American animated film
produced by Walt
Disney Feature

‫ ﻯ‬The film tells the story
of a young linguist who

to the mythical city of
Atlantis.
 Myth or
Reality?
Plato put so much detail into his
theory that many people have
often tried to find it. Others
decided there was too much fantasy
and therefore it was just a Myth?

led research
team believe they have found
Atlantis hidden under some
mudflaps in Spain.The team of
