Theories about Atlantis, Plato, Santorini, Cayce, Piri Reis Map, more Theories About Atlantis Plato The greek philosopher, Plato, brought to the world, the story of the lost continent of Atlantis. His story began to unfold for him around 355 B.C. Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land, with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'.

According to Critias, the Hellenic gods of old divided the land so that each god might own a lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. Fifty stadia inland from the middle of the southern coast was a "mountain not very high on any side."
