About Atlantis
The first known record discussing the legendary island of Atlantis was by Plato, in the dialogues Timaeus and Critias, written about 360 BC.
According to Plato, Atlantis was located "in front of the Pillars of Hercules" and that it was "an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia".
He wrote that over 9000 years earlier there was a great war, in which those inside the Pillars of Hercules, led by the City of Athens, fought those outside the Pillars of Hercules led by the kings of Atlantis. Thought the Atlantis force was strong, the extreemly brave fighters from within the Pillars of Hercules overcame then. However, as Plato wrote "But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. "
