>>212972721>Atlanteanssorry but Atlantis was Sardinia, it's a well known fact these days.
Here's why the Sardinia-Atlantis theory is popular.
Geographic Location:
Some theories place the Pillars of Hercules (a key geographical marker in Plato's description of Atlantis) in the Strait of Sicily, which would place Sardinia within the relevant area.
Nuragic Civilization:
Sardinia's Nuragic civilization, with its distinctive tower-like structures (nuraghi), is thought to have been advanced for its time. Some see parallels between the Nuragic civilization and Plato's description of a powerful, seafaring people.
Potential Natural Disaster:
The theory suggests that a major natural disaster, like an earthquake or tsunami, might have caused a significant portion of Sardinia to be submerged, mirroring the destruction of Atlantis.
"Sea Peoples" Connection:
Some theories link the Nuragic Sardinians to the "Sea Peoples," a group mentioned in Egyptian records who were known for their seafaring and military prowess, potentially connecting them to Plato's description of Atlantis as a powerful maritime nation.
