The story of Atlantis begins with a conversation between Solon and Critias, who recount a tale they have heard from an ancestor of Critias, Dropides. According to Dropides, Atlantis was a powerful and wealthy city-state that existed around 9,000 years before Plato's time. It was ruled by a group of ten kings, and its citizens were said to be descended from the gods.
Atlantis was described as a paradise, with beautiful temples, palaces, and gardens. The city was surrounded by a series of concentric walls, and its inhabitants had a highly advanced technology. They were able to harness the power of water and sun to create energy, and they used crystals to enhance their communication and healing abilities.
Unfortunately, the people of Atlantis became corrupt and arrogant. They began to use their advanced technology for evil purposes, and they turned against the gods. Zeus, the king of the gods, decided to punish the Atlanteans for their wickedness. He sent a massive flood that destroyed the city and caused it to sink beneath the waves.
The legend of Atlantis has been debated and speculated about for centuries. Some believe that it is a true story, while others believe it is a myth or allegory. There have been numerous expeditions to try and find the lost city, but none have been successful.
