It references Plato's account of Atlantis being destroyed by earthquakes and floods around 1500 BC. Archaeological evidence from the Minoan site of Santorini, such as pottery and artwork, has led some to believe this volcanic eruption devastated the Minoans and inspired the Atlantis legend. While Plato argued Atlantis was real, others debate whether it was fictional or based on real events.
