Atlantis-Found

Nothing is ever lost. You just have to know where to look.

It was in the time of Earth's infancy that there was only one massive continent. The inhabitants called this supercontinent Pangaea. This unity of continents encouraged a similar unity among species. Men and beasts worked as one, building a civilization that had never been seen before and will never be seen again. The name of this utopian civilization was—Atlantis.

Atlantans were a proud people constantly seeking new technology for the betterment of everyone on the planet. They realized that if it was possible to develop an unlimited source of energy, every being on Pangaea would benefit. Not only would they need the perfect energy source but a system to transmit it throughout the continent. It was decided that the energy project would be divided into two groups, energy development, and energy transport.

The development group felt that the best place to find a limitless source of energy was right under their feet. At the center of the continent, the development group constructed a massive drilling structure. Using the brute strength of dinosaurs to turn the drill, they began piercing the Earth's crust.

Construction crews and materials needed to be transported to multiple locations around Pangaea. This was handled by dragons and other large-winged creatures. Once on site, the crews constructed pyramid-shaped structures and large stone circles. The pyramids would receive pulsating energy blasts that would then be directed at the circular structures. Energy would spin up, gathering speed until it was powerful enough to be sent to the next location. The process would be repeated throughout the network.

The project continued flawlessly until completion. Tragedy struck on the first day the system was fully operational. Lightning from a massive ocean storm struck a pyramid just as it was receiving a power pulse. The combined energy forces reversed direction and ran down the drilling rig straight to the Earth's core. The explosion that followed was Earth shattering both literally and figuratively.

Massive fissures ran along the surface of Pangaea, carving out continent-size portions of land. Ocean water filled the cracks, creating even more. Over time, the individual sections of land drifted away from each other. They established themselves as independent continents. Atlantans, a once cohesive society, were stranded on these new continents. They soon forgot their old life, becoming today's societies.

If you are searching for proof of the events I have just chronicled, simply look around. Almost every continent has pyramids. England has a power-boosting station now known as Stonehenge. Every society around the globe has stories about dragons and lost civilizations. Atlantis was never lost. We are them.

    You made me think with this, because most of us want there to be an Alantis, and to find out we are all Atlanteans is awesome

    Mark, I love the serious tone of this story mixed with the whimsical feel of unexpected creatures like dragons. This was a really interesting concept and I like the perspective you chose on it. The end line was my favourite "Atlantis was never lost. We are them." It gave me chills! Great work Mark!

    This is a very different way to look at it. I like the spin you put on Atlantis!

  • Excellent story and loved the image that you used for this, very atmospheric

    Great concept, Mark! You tell a compelling tale, weaving in a lot of interesting facts to make it plausible. Nicely done 👏Pernoste

    This is great. Well done, Mark.

  • I watched a TikTok video a few months ago where the guy was showing all the pyramids in different parts of the continents. And also a few other similarities which would have been impossible at that time to have been communicated from one continent to another. I think you just uncovered the truth behind this. It's because they all had the same knowledge when they were initially separated. We are the Atlantans!

  • Omg omg omg!!! You hooked me here absolutely love it! Atlantis is one of my favorites 😊😊😊👏👏

    I like this interpretation. We are Atlantans without the memories of our ancestors.
