Like all ancient peoples, places and realms, it has a place in the heart of the present. Whether Atlantis existed or is pure analogy for some lost ancient time doesn't diminish the power in what Atlantis represents. Atlantis is first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato. Since his time much has been written on Atlantis both for and against the possibility it existed. A naval power lying in front of the Pillars of Hercules that conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9,000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately 9,600 BC goes Plato's description of Atlantis. Plato goes on to say, after a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean in a single day and night of misfortune. Sunken Cities are to be found all over the world. Sometimes these were caused by local seismic, tectonic or volcanic events. A greater number were undoubtedly caused by the rising sea levels that followed the de-glaciation at the end of the last Ice Age. The flooding of Atlantis, as recorded by Plato, continues to prompt writers to link any new discovery of submerged structures with this prehistoric catastrophe. Cuba, the Baltic Sea, Malta and Southern Spain, among others, have all been touted as Atlantis on this basis. Many more are yet to be discovered that will attract this same identification. There is also the possibility that a sunken structure from Atlantis will be discovered that will not be identified as such. The most spectacular sunken city recently discovered is that of Thonis-Heracleion off the coast of modern Alexandria. A close second might be the city found in the Gulf of Cambay, India, for which claims have been made of extreme antiquity. The sunken town of Dunwich was once the 10th largest settlement in England and is frequently referred to as 'Britain's Atlantis'. In 2009 the lost city of Bathonea was rediscovered just 20km from Istanbul. Evidence of human habitation in an area dated to earlier than 10,000 BC has been found. Millennia later a Greek settlement was established on the site and later expanded by the Romans. Excavation of the partially submerged city may take up to a century. The discovery of cities such as Bathonea understandably raise hopes that someday the remains of Atlantis may also be found. It is fun to speculate on such things. History is useful to society but society must learn to view history as teachings rather then some distant primitive past. One could make an argument that our modern times are primitive in comparison to the ancients. I dare say what most, if not all, modern historians miss in the account of Atlantis is the style in which it was written. Ancient times, before what would be considered recorded history, people knew what things in the natural world corresponded to in the spiritual world and hence wrote things in representations. The best example of this are Egyptian hieroglyphs. The story of Atlantis is written in this representative style. This doesn't mean actual historical facts are untrue, they might very well be. The importance of the representative style is what something means. In this case, Atlantis is like many other stories across the world and religions that talk of utopian paradises which come to horrendous, catastrophic ends. These stories are about our inner lives.
