Atlantis: The Lost Civilization That Vanished in One Night

Tonight, we explore one of the most mysterious stories ever recorded — the rise and fall of Atlantis. According to ancient writings, Atlantis was a powerful island civilization, ruled by kings and protected by magnificent walls and canals. Its navy dominated the known world, its cities shone with metal and marble, and its empire reached far beyond the Pillars of Heracles — beyond the edge of the ancient world . But its greatness did not last. As ambition replaced virtue, Atlantis turned toward conquest, challenging even ancient Athens. And then — in a single night of earthquakes and floods — the entire civilization vanished beneath the sea, leaving only silence, mystery, and unanswered questions .
