Our knowledge of the world's most famous lost continent come from the work of one man - Plato. The great Greek philosopher was the singular source of all information about the ill-fated island race and whilst experts write long-winded theses about the age and position of Atlantis, nobody is entirely sure that Plato did not just invent the Atlantean people as an allegory for what happens when a civilisation over-reaches itself. Despite this, the hunt for Atlantis is as fierce as ever.

Plato lived in Greece between 428 and 348BC, and revealed the story of Atlantis in his dialogues 'Timaeus' and 'Critias'. Many of Plato's fables were fictional creations used to illustrate a point, but the history of Atlantis was repeatedly stated as fact.

So what do you believe is Atlantis a lost civilisation? A work of Fiction? or is it destined to remain unknown?
