[00:00:00]It all begins with one man, Plato, a Greek philosopher who lived more than 2,300 years ago.

[00:00:09]In two mysterious texts, Timaeus and Critias, he tells the story of a legendary island civilization.

[00:00:18]He called it Atlantis.

[00:00:21]According to Plato, Atlantis was located beyond the Pillars of Hercules.

[00:00:26]Today, we know that place as the Strait of Gibraltar.

[00:00:30]But Atlantis was not just an island.

[00:00:32]It was a rich and powerful civilization.

[00:00:35]Plato described giant cities built in circles connected by canals flowing toward the sea.

[00:00:42]The island was filled with gold, temples, and massive ports.

[00:00:48]At the center stood a sacred temple dedicated to Poseidon, god of the sea.
