It is from general knowledge the history of the great island or continent of Atlantis, a legendary geographical location, which existence is only based in beliefs, and not in scientific purposes.

The legend of the “Lost Continent” is firstly reported in Plato’s dialogs, in which the wise philosopher of classic antiquity referred to an island that, locking a war with Athens (having the population of Atlantis tried to invade this city), was sunk “in a single day of misfortune”.
However, the reports about this legendary place are related to a vast idealization about its technology. Some beliefs are based in the fact that Atlantis was sunk because its technology was so sublime that the Gods considered an arrogant attitude of such pride by the mortals that deserved its banishment.

Some theorists believe even that Atlantis had a similar or better technology than the one of the nowadays civilization. So, if that is indeed correct, the disappearance of that place wouldn’t provoke the disappearance of technological assumptions that could be used today?
