Where Did It Go?
Where it is is a mystery. Some people say it is
located in the Atlantic Ocean and some think
it is located off of Spain. There are many
theories about where it is located.
When Did It Happen?
Scientist actually found some debris and think

starts in 355 BC.
355 BC.
1500 BC.
Who Is The One?
POSEIDON
The legend is based on Poseidon and people
think he sunk it on propose. But why on
purpose?
Why Did Poseidon Do This?
In the legend of Atlantis, Greek God Poseidon got
angry with the atlantisans for trying to take over
Greece for their money so he began to sink
Atlantis. The people called for help from
Poseidon, not knowing he was the one that sunk
the island. He started to ignore them and then
they were never to be seen again.
What happened…
Poseidon had sunken this amazing continent so
it’s not on the map. He made it with half
human, half god inhabits.
Theory #1
Poseidon sunk the island so it would not be an
official island on the map. This is the most
common theory.
Theory #2
This is sort of the most common of all because
only certain people think this: A volcano from
centuries ago was near Atlantis. The people of
Atlantis thought it would not be active but
then one night it erupted so hard that bits of
the island sunk.
Theory #3
This is the second most reasonable theory. Plato
wrote of a fabled continet and Poseidon
created it. Ever since it sunk there has been a
debate on whether it exists or not.
