A magnificent city of gold, sunk beneath the sea after angering the gods — Atlantis has captured imaginations for over 2,000 years.
But was Atlantis just an allegory, a misunderstood memory of a real place, or something else entirely?
In this episode of The Deep Dive, we trace the myth back to Plato, explore real-world inspirations like the Minoans, and uncover why the legend of Atlantis still stirs hope, mystery, and wild conspiracy theories today.
Dive with us into one of history’s most enduring mysteries.
