According to Plato's account, the lost realm of Atlantis was situated
beyond the Pillars of Hercules, placing it in the realm of the Unknown.
In Plato's account, Atlantis was a naval power lying "in front of the
Pillars of Hercules" that conquered many parts of Western Europe
and Africa 9,000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately
9600 BC. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into
the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune".
Several writers have speculated that Antartica is the site of Atlantis,
while others have proposed Caribean locations such as Batabano Bay
south of Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Bermuda Triangle. Areas in the
Pacific and Idian Ocean have also been proposed including Indonisia.
Renaissance tradition says the pillars bore the warning which
served as a warning to sailors and navigators to go no further.
