Size of the Lost City of Atlantis

Plato described Atlantis as an island larger than Libya and Asia combined, located beyond the "Pillars of Heracles." It was said to be large enough for travelers to journey to nearby islands and continents. Tertullian agreed, claiming it was bigger than modern-day Libya and Asia. While some believed Atlantis was in the Mediterranean, others scaled its size to Crete. Later accounts, including those by Edgar Cayce, suggested Atlantis was as large as Eurasia, though its exact size remains unclear

The Lost Civilization’s Technological Advancements

The Atlanteans were said to have developed advanced technologies far beyond what was known at the time. These technologies ranged from energy manipulation, crystal-based power sources, and even flying machines. The Atlanteans’ ability to control these technologies is often linked to their superior intelligence and spiritual enlightenment, suggesting they may have had access to knowledge from extraterrestrial civilizations or ancient wisdom far ahead of their time.

The ‘Captivation’ Palace of Atlantis

The new home built by Poseidon for his love in the City of Atlantis was surrounded by rings of water and land. The five rounds of water were connected to the ground with the help of five tunnels, where a vast canal connected the outer rings of water to the ocean.

The tunnels could accommodate ships, and every route to the city was guarded by gates and towers. Moreover, the wall surrounding the rings was built using red, white and black rock and decorated with precious metals.

Meanwhile, there was another hill called the ‘Hill of Cleito’ where, it is believed, Poseidon captivated his wife because he distrusted her loyalty. Huge moats and pillars surrounded this hill.

The Golden Statue of Poseidon

The fable tells that Cleito had five pairs of twin sons with Poseidon, the eldest of which was Atlas. The ten sons inherited the great city, and the first child, Atlas, became the first ruler of Atlantis.

However, it is believed they also built a massive temple for their father with a giant statue of Poseidon riding a chariot carried by winged horses.

The statue was utterly built-in gold and placed in a temple with a spiral roof so high that the clouds drifted through the spirals of the temple.

The Self-Sufficient and Prosperous Atlantis

The city of Atlantis was renowned for its self-sufficiency and prosperity. It is believed to have had a thriving economy where the people, a mix of divine and mortal beings, lived in harmony. The fertile plains around the city supported large-scale farming, with advanced irrigation systems ensuring abundant crops. The Atlanteans were skilled builders, constructing magnificent structures from black and red stone. They had access to rare metals, including brass, and were known for their innovative use of crystals, not only for daily life but also for experimental and recreational purposes, enhancing their quality of life.

Rising of the city of Atlantis

Other than the legend of the lost city of Atlantis and other fables, the facts about the city remain unknown. Among historians and other researchers, the findings of Edgar Cayce had something different to tell.

Edgar Cayce believed in the rising of the lost city once again like ‘the sun rises from the sea. He predicted a new land would appear off the east coast of North America.

He also suggested that the souls of many people who lived in Atlantis had been incarnating to America to usher in a new era of enlightened human consciousness.

Atlantis and Its Extraterrestrial Connections

Stories also claim that the original inhabitants of the lost city of Atlantis are believed to be of extra-terrestrial origin and reached there about Fifty Thousand years ago from the Lyrian star system.

Despite being much taller and fairer than today’s average human being, the average life span of these people is believed to have been Eight Hundred years, making them robust prototypes of the existent human race then.

Exceptional powers of Atlanteans

As some claim that the Lost City of Atlantis was on Mars or just a colony of an alien civilization, the inhabitants of Atlantis city are believed to possess exceptional powers, such as the ability to control the weather and modify volcanic eruptions.

Some accounts also mention possessing a device that allowed them to channel energy from time and space.

Even though the myth says that the inhabitants of Atlantis City were superior beings, there are some opinions that it is just a fictional representation of a brutal fashion of life.

Location of the Lost City of Atlantis

The biggest question about Atlantis is its location. The city is believed to have sunk into the sea after an earthquake or tsunami. Plato suggested it was in the Atlantic Ocean near the Rock of Gibraltar, featuring a Poseidon statue and concentric walls. Despite advanced technology, no traces have been found. Some theories propose it could be in the Mediterranean or under Antarctica. The Azores were once considered its location, but recent research points to a possible site between Spain and Morocco, in Cadiz. Whether Atlantis truly existed remains a mystery, fueling endless speculation.

Did the Lost City of Atlantis exist or not?

While many still consider the Lost City of Atlantis a conspiracy theory, many studies doing the rounds suggest that the fable is based on actual events.

Ocean explorer Robert Ballard finds logic in the story as it has similarities with a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea near Greece.

The Lost City of Atlantis continues to captivate imaginations, with its mysterious location, advanced technologies, and mythical grandeur sparking endless theories. While the truth behind its existence remains uncertain, Atlantis' legend persists, fueling speculation and curiosity about the greatest civilization ever to vanish beneath the sea.
