By: The Mysterious Myth Hunters Charlotte Ferrell & Isabel Bobrik

Where Did It Go?

Where it is is a mystery. Some people say it is located in the Atlantic Ocean and some think it is located off of Spain. There are many theories about where it is located.

When Did It Happen?

Scientist actually found some debris and think Atlantis sunk around 1500 BC but the story starts in 355 BC.

355 BC. 1500 BC.

Who Is The One?

POSEIDONThe legend is based on Poseidon and people

think he sunk it on propose. But why on purpose?

Why Did Poseidon Do This?

In the legend of Atlantis, Greek God Poseidon got angry with the atlantisans for trying to take over Greece for their money so he began to sink Atlantis. The people called for help from Poseidon, not knowing he was the one that sunk the island. He started to ignore them and then they were never to be seen again.

What happened…

Poseidon had sunken this amazing continent so it’s not on the map. He made it with half human, half god inhabits.

Theory #1

Poseidon sunk the island so it would not be an official island on the map. This is the most common theory.

Theory #2

This is sort of the most common of all because only certain people think this: A volcano from centuries ago was near Atlantis. The people of Atlantis thought it would not be active but then one night it erupted so hard that bits of the island sunk.

Theory #3

This is the second most reasonable theory. Plato wrote of a fabled continet and Poseidon created it. Ever since it sunk there has been a debate on whether it exists or not.
