      The Lost Civilization of Atlantis

      The book The Lost Civilization of Atlantis tells the historical story about Atlantis. The book is based on the two dialogues of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Timaeus and Critias, and tells the ancient myths and history about Atlantis. For thousands of years, although many people reckon that Atlantis was only fiction, and it only exists in people's memories. However, after modern times, scientists and archaeologists have made more and more new discoveries, let us I believe that Atlantis may have existed. Although Atlantis sinks into the ocean only in one day and night, it may take thousands of years for Atlantis could come back again.

      Plato's dialogues

      Ancient Greek philosopher

      Ancient Greek philosopher

      It is said to be more than 40,000 years ago, due to the sudden rise in global sea level, seawater engulfed pristine islands and low-lying land, people who survived around the world poured into the vast and fertile island. This island, about 380 kilometers west of the Strait of Gibraltar. There, the new immigrants and the local Cro-Magnon national fusion, formed a new hybrid civilization - Atlantis.

      Atlantis, also known as an island of Atlas mentioned in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias. He is widely considered the pivotal figure in the history of Ancient Greek and Western philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle. And because Socrates appears in these two dialogues, it's hard to find a more credible source for the story of Atlantis.

      There are a total of five people participated in the dialogue, Plato, Socrates, Hermocrates, Timaeus, and Critias. We don't need to introduce Plato and Socrates.

      Hermocrates was a soldier and a general of the ancient Syracusan. He served as an adviser to the famous general Gylippus of Spartan during the Athenians' Sicilian Expedition in the midst of the Peloponnesian.

      Timaeus held an essential position in Calabria in southern Italy. From Plato’s perspective, Timaeus was a prominent politician and scientist, especially in the fields of natural philosophy and astronomy. Plato particularly emphasized the capacity of Timaeus in the field of philosophy, which is characteristic of the Pythagorean school. However, the authenticity of Timaeus is uncertain, because he only appeared in Plato’s work as a literary character, and other ancient materials are also based on Plato’s records. If there is such an outstanding person in history, he should also be recorded in other historical documents.

      Critias was an ancient Greek politician and a writer. He was known for his tragedy, elegy, and prose works.

      Plato divided the dialogue into three topics, which were in turn by Timaeus, Critias, and Hermocrates. First, Timaeus described the process of creating the world. Later Plato's arranged the content and compiled the Timaeus dialogue. Then Critias explained world history with the story of Atlantis, then Plato's composed the Critias dialogue. Finally, it's Hermocrates' turn to tell the history of the universe and human beings. But we don't know why we didn't see the Hermocrates dialogue, possibly, it has not happened.

      Socrates as an audience in this event, he doesn't need to speak, but his presence is indeed significant because this dialogue event is held in honor of Socrates.

      According to the dialogue, the story of Atlantis begins with Solon. Solon was a famous reformer, politician, and poet of the city-state of Athens in ancient Greece, and one of the seven sages of ancient Greece. After he had finished his reforms, he traveled abroad for ten years. His first stop was Egypt, and his travel is recorded in the works of the ancient Greek writer Herodotus and the Greek writer Plutarch
