Plato was the first to write about the advanced island civilization that suddenly disappeared from the surface of the planet. While the philosopher provided some very specific details about Atlantis' design and life of the people who live there, the mystery of the city's fate and location has endured. The leading potential sites for the remains of the city stretch around the world: ancient Egypt, where famed psychic Edgar Cayce claimed the island's "hall of records" was buried under the Sphynx, in the Caribbean near the underwater rock formations known as the Bimini Road, on the Yucatan peninsula amid the Mayan remains, or the Greek island Santorini, home of a long-active volcano.
