Since long long ago, people have been fascinated by the mystery surrounding the island of Atlantis. The myth says that this beautiful island and all its inhabitants disappeared completely into the sea within 24 hours. Atlantis was first named and described by the Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BC). According to Plato, Atlantis was situated in front of the 'Pillars of Hercules' (now known as the Straight of Gibraltar) in the Atlantic region, in around 9600 BC.
