Atlantis the lost city facts => 5
From this account, it appears that the Egyptians know about the Atlantis or perhaps trade existed between them. However , as far as Plato version matters, it was more philosophical than historical. Ploto student, Aristotle believed that it was not more that a poetic fiction. Many scholars think on the lines of Aristotle.
But there are some scholars who believe in the truthfulness of the story. Crantor (300 BC) who was the first commentator on Plato work believed that the account was true. Even stoic philosopher and scholar Posidonius (135- 50 B.C.) refused to believe it as minds imagination.
Even after 23 centuries, the controversy haunts – truth or fiction? So much so that many have taken advantage of the situation and have started weaving uncommon stories about black magic, clairvoyance etc.
Plato believed that Atlantis was in the Atlantic itself. This led to serious research and historians found out that once there existed a continent in the middle of the ocean. According to these historians, the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands , the Canaries and Madeira were the mountain peaks of Atlantis.
