Atlantis Atlantis Atland, or Aldland as it is sometimes spelt, is the name applied to Atlantis by the Oera Linda Book. Said to have been destroyed in a conflagration of nature in 2194 BCE, it was allegedly located in what is now the North Sea. All dates in the Oera Linda Book are reckoned from this event. Note: some early researchers gave the year as 2193 BCE, but this is based on an erroneous calculation that assumes the existence of a ' Year Zero' between 1 BCE and 1 CE, which does not in fact exist. ...more on Wikipedia about "Atland"
The " Lost city" of Atlantis was an ancient mythical island, whose existence and location have never been confirmed.

Plato claimed it was somewhere outside the Pillars of Hercules, now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. While there are many theories about Atlantis, nearly all serious research shows that Atlantis never existed as Plato described it, although elements of his story may have been drawn from real events. ...more on Wikipedia about "Atlantis"
