Did this civilization exist, or was it just a story by Plato?

twas hawaii... s-t-n knows all :P

also, in middle of atlantic there are a few sunken islands. they were volcanic, so they also match the description...

but if in 2000 years, archaeologists discover the wizard of Oz book, and find Kansas...what do you think some people will say?

This is a slightly...weird...conversation. Atlantis never existed; scientists can prove that. One city in anicent Roman times did fall into the ocean after a massive earthquake. That's where this came from.

And people have found proof of this city.

no, no, no! ur all wrong. We were incredibly advanced people until aliens from space came and killed us all and sent us back into the stone ages, and to make sure we stayed like that, they sunk our most precious city Altantis, lol.

There was once a show about this on the History Channel. I can't remember the name; it was a while ago when I saw it.

Plato was alive before the existance of Rome.  Anyway, What do you mean it never existed.  There's another so called mythical city that was thought to be fiction.  It was Troy.

All myths have fact behind them.  Atlantis is no different.

Besides, can you explain why so many different civilizations, on different parts of the world, seem to have a story about an advanced civilization that disappears under the sea.

I dunno, man. That's pretty questionable. It's more likely there was such a civilization and they all were in one way or another connected to it economically or in another way at some time in their history.
