The disappearance of "Atlantis"
The Atlantis theory holds that, thousands of years ago, a highly advanced civilization existed, this one suddenly disappeared under the sea. Its story comes from the Greek philosopher Plato, who described Atlantis as a powerful civilization with extensive knowledge in science, architecture and energy located "beyond the Pillars of Hercules." It is said that the Atlanteans grew arrogant and sought to conquer the world, incurring the wrath of the gods. As punishment, the civilization was destroyed by massive earthquakes and enormous tsunamis that caused the entire island to sink into the depths of the sea.
