The legend of Atlantis was supposidly passed down for 9000 years before Plato heard it from Critas and wrote it down. Supposedly the city of atlantas was created by posiedon to protect his human wife. He created a land like a wedding cake of alternating rings. Three rings of water and land surrounded a central island. His decendants built a huge city on this covering each ring with a different metal, building bridges and locks. The buildings style would probably be early greek or assyrian although egyptian influences have also been suggested. You can read a sort of translation at the url below. The author has removed a lot of Plato's long winded verbage and added his own conclusions about connections to the Aztecs, etc. The description is still pretty good.
