Episode 64: The Lost City of Atlantis — Myth, or Erased Civilisation?

A great island empire, more powerful than any in the ancient world, consumed by the sea in a single catastrophic day and night. Plato wrote about Atlantis in 360 BCE. Two and a half thousand years later, we are still looking for it. Was it a philosophical allegory — or a cultural memory of something real?

This episode explores:

* Plato's original description — its extraordinary specificity, its named sources, and its philosophical context

* The geological case for a real catastrophe — the Santorini eruption, rising sea levels at the end of the Ice Age

* The March 2025 claim by archaeologist Michael Donnellan of submerged concentric structures near Cádiz, Spain

* Why mainstream classicists argue Atlantis was a literary device, not a historical account

* The growing 2026 interest in pre-Ice Age civilisations and what LiDAR scanning is revealing

* Why the Atlantis question refuses to close despite centuries of searching

For believers, the specificity of Plato's description and the geological record of real ancient catastrophes make the literal interpretation plausible. For academics, the absence of any corroborating ancient source points to allegory.

What is certain: the ocean floor has not been fully mapped. The ancient record is incomplete. And the search continues.
