Views of a scholarly looking Plato talking to his pupils… we don’t really hear him, but see him engaged in “dialog.” It is clear that we are “zooming in” to a story that Plato is telling.

Narrator: In ancient Greece, the philosopher Plato gave accounts of the great city of Atlantis. Yet much is unknown about this legendary civilization: did Atlantis once exist, or did Plato invent it to reflect his own political theories? If it did exist, what was everyday life like for Atlanteans? How could such a powerful civilization fade away in such a short period of time?
