Timaeus Et Critias: An Ancient Greek Myth

Atlantis, the lost empire home to piles of gold and extravagant cuisine sunk thousands of years ago due to a tsunami able to sink the Asia Minor. Generations later, Plato writes, “Timaeus et Critias” with most Ancient Greeks thinking it’s a myth. From discover, Atlanteans places, ceremonies, and king names scattered within history.
