0:00.0	The following is an encore presentation of Everything Everywhere Daily.
0:04.0	In the dialogues written by Plato in the year 360 BC,
0:11.0	he wrote of a place called Atlantis.
0:14.0	Atlantis was a land where the citizens were half gods and half men,
0:18.0	yet it was destroyed in a cataclysmic event.
0:21.0	Ever since then, people have been speculating about where Atlantis was and who the
0:25.2	Atlantians were. Learn more about the history of Atlantis and the various theories
0:29.6	of where it was or if it even existed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. The amazing thing about the story of Atlantis is how much attention it has been given over the centuries

1:46.7	Atlantis was larger than ancient Libya and Asia Minor combined. That would be most of North Africa west of the Nile and most of modern day Turkey.
1:51.6	The city of Atlantis was supposedly three circular canals with circular islands between them.
1:57.0	It would have been something like what modern-day Amsterdam is like.
