Atlantis

 Atlantis About 11 thousand years ago, there existed a race of people who had technology far superior to that of any others. This may or may not be true; people have been debating Atlantis' existance for hundreds of years. These people lived on the island of Atlantis, which is said to be located in the Black/Atlantic sea, near the Pillars of Hercules. It was built in a perfect circle 14 miles wide with an extensive canal system, and the city was heavily fortified. Atlantis had a golden age in which the diverse population lived in harmony and there was no greed; food and treasures were plentiful. 25,000 years after its creation, Atlantis became a military dictatorship where unjust wars were fought for greedy reasons, and the empire dominated all of the Black Sea. How this relates to mythology is that the gods, Poseidon especially, took notice of how the Atlantians were abusing their technology for their own personal gain. This angered them greatly; they sent Poseidon to create a great wave and earthquakes that would swallow the entire city, burying it beneath the sea.

The story of Atlantis was first heard of from Plato, who wrote about it in Timaeus and Critias; they are the only existing written records which specifically refer to Atlantis. His writings are about a conflict between the ancient Athenians and the Atlantians that occured 9,000 years before Plato's time.
