THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS: PLATO'S GREATEST MYSTERY
from History Mystery · host History Mystery
Episode 11 | History's Mysteries — Unexplained Structures & PlacesIn this Mystery episode we focus on the Lost City of Atlantis — the island civilization Plato described in 360 BCE that was destroyed in a single day and night, and that 2,400 years of searching has neither found nor definitively ruled out.This episode covers Plato's original description, the most serious candidate locations including the Minoan eruption at Thera and the Richat Structure in Mauritania, the 2023 underwater structures found off the Greek coast, and the honest question at the center of all of it: was Plato describing a real place, or the most sophisticated philosophical fiction ever written?The ocean is very deep and very old. And Plato was a very careful writer.#HistoryMystery #Atlantis #UnsolvedMysteries #AncientHistory #MysteryPodcast
