Description

Atlantis - Fact, Fiction or Exaggeration? The story of Atlantis begins quite literally with two of Plato's dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. These accounts are the only known written records which refer specifcally to a lost civilization called Atlantis. Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction, the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument. Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events which may have destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera. Still others maintain that the story is an accurate representation of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land. What do YOU think? Mermaid courtesy of Sabine's Poser Tubes.

Simply a wonderous scene my friend and as for my view it is simple. I think it is more fun to keep the hope alive that it was a real place. Dare to dream and all of that

Wow, what an awesome image and great facts regarding Atlantis. I always assumed it was fictitional but I suppose, as far as most myths and legends go, they start from something real and someone's imagination takes it further. 'Kind of like us artists. :)
