Atlantis: A myth, legend or fact?

Atlantis: A myth, legend or fact? 

As a young child I have been enchanted by myths and legends of old? The magic of Merlin and King Arthur. 

Stories of history over centuries ago. But still today conspiracies, the ideas of long lost civilisations and what happened to them, still have a methodology of storytelling! 

The idea of knowledgeable people for their buildings and their use of language. 

They used clay tablets and they wrote about their life's, just like we do today but in a notebook or on a computer and social media. 

They have found items in Pompeii of graffiti written on walls. Scrolls of writings that have been found all over the world of scribes writing in Egypt, where in fact from today we hold written word in libraries. This is what the great library of Alexandria was supposed to hold of great information for philosophers to debate and discuss.

The Egyptians left chiseled pictures of the great battles that were won and lost and used hieroglyphs to tell the stories to the next generation.

Hieroglyphs: a stylised picture of an object representing a word, syllable, or sound, as found in ancient Egyptian and certain other writing systems (from dictionary).

But even today tall tales are told of great ideals to advance the way the people think!

It was the Egyptians that told the story of an island that came to its demise by a great flood and was never seen again. It was passed down to scholars through the ages. This was told to a philosopher and he wrote about it in 2 books The Republic and Critias. His name was Plato, he was a philosopher of many subjects. 

I think he wrote these books as an err on the side of cautionary Tale as it taught. People in those days did not understand as we do today about how hurricanes and volcanoes work.

The gods would be unhappy" if you did not make an offering or follow the strict rules of the gods due to unwarranted behavior, these gods would strike you down. It is taught by many volumes from all different faiths in the world.

But I feel Plato could see both sides of the story? As for stories about great floods, is it plausible to think that these two stories have something in common? One of the great floods of Noah and his ark, to Poseidon, the Greek god and the island of Atlantis? I propose anything could be possible?

The time frame of the event is something that should be explored more, as we have changed calendars in the course of 10,000 years ago. Due to advancements in history and archaeology, we have to use science that can be used for the time frame. But Atlantis is lost, how can you find something that is lost? Well it is up to us to find it! You have to find clues and research?
