The Mystery of Atlantis



 According to ancient Egyptian records the Athenians fought a war against Atlantis and were victorious.

The rulers of Atlantis controlled Atlantis and other islands. They began a war from their island in the Atlantic Ocean they sent troops to Europe and Asia. Against this attack the men of Greece gathered men from all over Greece to prevent it. However when there were challenges with the defense their allies deserted them and the Athenians were forced to fight to defeat the Atlantians alone. They prevented the invasion of their own country and freed Egypt and every other country which were controlled by the rulers of Atlantis.

Within a short time span after the victory of the Greeks Atlantis was the victim of horrific earthquakes and floods and sunk into the sea in a day and a night according to the legends.

In the stories in a history of Atlantis that shows how the rulers of Alantis wanted to conquer everyone because of the intense pride. This history that has been recorded tells of  Atlantis beginning from the beginning of time. The Gods divided the world among themselves and each ruled their own portion. The God Poseidon was allotted to rule Atlantis. His wife the mortal woman Cleito, and the royal family of Atlantis was started from this history.

Cleito and Poseidon had ten sons, five sets of boys. Atlas the first son the twins, was made king. Atlas had many sons and the succession of the throne was passed down to the eldest son.

Atlantis was peaceful and prospered over many generations. The city Metropolis and the  city of Atlantis were surrounded behind a wall splendorous and wealthy.

Poseidon placed laws for Atlantis that the rulers were to fellow. The ruling body judged matters concerning the kingdom according to Poseidon's laws. As long as they judged and lived by Poseidon's the kingdom flourished.  After some time the laws were neglected the rulers married mortals soon pride convinced the rulers that the need for greater power was their right. When Zeus saw what had happened to the rulers  that they had abandoned the laws of the Gods he brought all the gods of Olympus to pronounce judgment on Atlantis.
 The Gods decreed that Atlantis should be punished for their pride by having their island perish into the sea and so Atlantis was engulfed by the Atlantic Ocean with the destruction of their civilization.

Whether the myth of Atlantis is true is left to the scholars and the archeologists to decipher however the myth still is strong that Atlantis did exist and is still a source of tales throughout the centuries.
