Atlantis Was Real — Britannica Says No

Guy who believes Atlantis was literally real: ‘Atlantis was real not an allegory.’
Encyclopaedia Britannica: ‘NO.’

The legend of Atlantis likely comes from ancient Egyptian records of the volcanic eruption on Thera (Santorini) around 1500 BCE. The eruption caused earthquakes and tsunamis that destroyed Minoan civilization on Crete. No sunken city — just a very angry volcano.
