Some people believe that Thera, an island that was north of Crete, is the legendary Atlantis. A volcano there erupted, and toxic fumes spread through the air, killing everyone who wasn't already killed. Then, part of the island broke off, and sank beneath the sea, causing huge tidal waves to hit Crete, where the Minoans lived. Everyone was killed by the poison gases, and the tidal waves. Whoever survived was taken captive by invaders. I think the Minoans taught the invaders about their culture, etc. and the invaders treated them nicely, I think. I'm not sure if the invaders were the Macedonians or not. I'm sure Plato based Atlantis on Thera...

About six of one half dozen of the other. Legends are sometimes BASED on factual events but sometimes they ARE true. Atlantis Is most likely based on the events of the destruction of an island off of Crete ( Volcanic in origin). It could also just be a story to explain the "hole" in Pangia, the super continent, as some schools of thought ascertain, that all the continents were once one and there is a good sized "hole" that could be nothing more than an in-land sea.

that it incredibly is a submerged u . s . a . or city in lemuria (8th continent accdg. to legend) the place it become ruled with the help of the Greek God Poseidon. Plato additionally stated that it become a brilliant city the place progressed civilization happened whether it become destroyed by using fact the human beings became grasping. there has no longer something been shown that Atlantis existed. So, each and everything approximately it nonetheless remains a tale.
