The Greek writer Plato told a story about an island in the Atlantic Ocean called Atlantis. It was a beautiful place. The people were intelligent and had many interests. The land was rich with plant and animal life. The people used their skills well, so the island was a centre for farming and business. Their buildings were beautiful and well built. Their kings and queens had great power in Europe and Africa. The people were well-educated and happy. There was no disease or famine there. This was more than 11,000 years ago - and then the city disappeared under the sea.
Was there really an Atlantis? If there was, why did it disappear? People still want to know about Atlantis. They are still looking for this lost civilisation.
