Atlantis (Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, “Island of Atlas”) is the name of an island first mentioned and described by the classical Greek philosopher Plato. According to him this island, lying “beyond the pillars of Hercules”, was a naval power, having conquered many parts of western Europe and Africa. Soon after a failed invasion of Athens, Atlantis sank in the waves “in a single day and night of misfortune” due to a natural catastrophe which happened 9,000 years before Plato’s time.
