While the search for Atlantis has been pushed to the fringes since the 19th century, archaeologists have quietly pursued cities that may have inspired Plato to fabricate the mythical city. It looks like a team in Greece has found it.
In this fascinating episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the legendary city of Atlantis, exploring whether Plato's famous tale was pure fiction or inspired by real events. They uncover the incredible archaeological discovery of Helike, an ancient Greek city that suffered a remarkably similar fate to Atlantis when it was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami in 373 BC. The hosts reveal how this real "lost city" has yielded amazing treasures, including multiple layers of ancient civilizations buried beneath it, making it potentially even more significant than Pompeii for understanding the ancient world.
