Lost Cities Of Atlantis Research Paper

Imagine a whole city disappearing, completely sinking without a trace. The myth describes that it sank in one day and night. It seems far fetched, but many theories say it is true while others point out that it is a story. The Lost Cities of Atlantis is a story that was fabricated a long time ago.

Every discovery of this city uses only part of the facts given by Plato, while ignoring the facts that would discredit the discovery of Atlantis. While Atlantis would be nice to see, it will never be truly
