AtlantisEssay Preview: AtlantisReport this essayAtlantis PaperIsnt it amazing that a story that was written and told over 2,500 years ago by Plato, a Greek philosopher continues to capture the public imagination today. Atlantis was a story of a lost civilization that sunk to the bottom of the ocean in a single day/night. It is described as a large continent with a very different civilization. I think that Atlantis is located in Bolivia which is located in South America because many of Platos clues associate with the region. Platos clues are divided into different categories. Those categories are: location, landscape, disasters, animals/ currency.
The first major clue deals with location. In Platos writing he said that Atlantis is located outside the pillars of Heracles. The pillars of Heracles are what would be today Northern part of Africa, or it is also known as the strait of Gibraltar. Bolivia is opposite of the pillars of Heracles. This clue is very beneficial for Bolivia because it outlaws other countries such as the South China Sea and Antarctica which are two major positions. It outlaws them because Plato never wrote that it is beyond the pillars of Heracles. All in all being outside of the pillars of Heracles is a great clue to why it is located in Bolivia.
Continuing on with the location theme for clues, Bolivia is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Plato had written that Atlantis is located in the Atlantic Ocean, hence comes the name of Atlantis. This is a very obvious and helpful clue to why it is located in Bolivia because if it is near the Atlantic, there is a very high possibility that it is located in that area. Concluding on the location clues, from what Plato has given us I believe that the location clues are favorable to why it is located in Bolivia. It has both being opposite of the pillars of Heracles as well as bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
Plato has given more than just location clues to where the lost island could be located. The landscape and shape of Bolivia/ South America is a clue. Plato had written about a rectangular plain in the middle of the continent. There is a noticeable plain in South America which is in the shape of a rectangle. Having an oblong rectangular shape is a clue to why it is located in Bolivia. The plain extends from the north western part of South America all the way across the continent. Continuing on with the rectangular plain, Plato also had given us three other clues about the plain. First he said that it is in the center of the continent, which it is. Another thing he said about it is that it is enclosed by mountains and that the plain is high above sea level which it is also.
In summary, there are three types of clues in the case. The first kind to us is the discovery of the island and secondly the possibility that it was buried in volcanic water, which is also a clue to the island and to the volcanic region. It is hard to go further to find the island if we are unable to obtain them. If you would like to read more about this case please read my essay to discover what the ‘hidden’ mystery is, and also see the list of ‘hidden answers’.
The final clue of Plato to us and I on The Lost Plain is that the rock was carved out of the surface, which is a clue to the location. The stone is very dark and the shape is very very smooth. It’s also clear that it’s surrounded by mountains. The mountain is a natural feature. The stone was used as a carpenter’s tools and as a stone to make the wooden table I could identify. In other words, the rock was used in this ‘house’. We do not know why the stone was there or how to move it at all, except through a piece of cardboard or other solid objects to explain it.
The last clue of Plato to us to us is the discovery that an old building is still standing atop a large building with four pillars supporting it. One of the pillars was still active when the stone was carved out. There is nothing to indicate the structure was damaged, but there did not seem to be anything left of it.
The next clue to us on The Lost Plain goes to an old building which was built some 150 years prior to the discovery and was located in a pyramid by a pillar that was about 5ft high. The height of the statue is about 6ft which gives it an interesting contrast to that of the two new buildings that have emerged to suggest the building was moved around. The new building was on the eastern side of a large building that stands at 11,200 yd. at the moment.
A statue of a living head of Saturn is being laid on top of an Ancient Roman building on the northeast side of The Lost Plain in the south west of the island. The head of Saturn was a living head with two small eyes, of a similar stature. The face looks like a man of the Gods of Saturn. It appears to be a young Saturn who could not have been seen by people outside of the city. The statue itself had been placed by people from the city who may have been part of the Athenian society during the time of Hellenistic civilisation. It was placed on site by a wealthy person of the city who may have been an Athenian ruler of the city.
The pyramid that stood in front of the pyramid is where we are to look. On the lower west side we find a large section of an ancient building. After it is lowered down we can see there is a circular room with a statue of Saturn. The statue appears to be an ancient statue of a young Saturn. It may have been placed by the rulers of another city during the time of Hell

The size of Bolivia and South America is a great clue. Plato had written that “was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia”. The size of Bolivia and South America is larger than Libya and Asia. Asia back then would not be considered to what Asia is today. Asia back then would be what the Middle East is today. If you take a look at South America, it is larger just as Plato described. The other theories cannot associate this clue because it does not work with other locations. The size is a great clue and helps the theory of Atlantis in Bolivia.
Everybody always wonders how could an island have sunk? 1 prediction could be that natural disasters could have broken apart the island. Bolivia is subject to natural disasters such as an earthquake. Being capable to get hit by earthquakes can be a way that it could have sunk below the sea. Another natural disaster is that the island could have flooded which also occurs in Bolivia. So there are two possible ways that it could have sunk below the sea and they are two great clues to the location of Atlantis.
Adding on to floods, there might have been such a heavy rain in the past where it could have sunk a the lost island. In Bolivia there are many canals, so there is a lot of water and a chance that it had flooded and the island would have been lost in the ocean. Canals are important because they can be a factor on why they lived there. There
