Full Episode
Ancient humans from all over the planet pass down a similar myth. They all tell the story of a lost civilization with advanced abilities. In some accounts, these people are gods. In others, they have eternal life. In the version you've probably heard, they create a culture in perfect harmony, a utopia. But a sudden flood engulfs the entire community.
All their buildings, technology, and knowledge are lost to the bottom of the ocean. Sounds familiar, right? That's the legend of Atlantis. Most agree the story is just that, a story. But why would so many prehistoric cultures, thousands of miles apart, be telling the same story? Some scuba divers and scholars think that's because it's true.
They think they've found the evidence off the coast of the small Japanese island of Yonaguni, the underwater ruins of Atlantis. Welcome to Conspiracy Theories, a Spotify podcast. I'm Carter Roy.
