The City That Sank Into Memory

Raven Thorne introduces Atlantis as an idea more powerful than any physical place, tracing how Plato's philosophical tale became a global obsession that has survived over two millennia. She explores the original story from the dialogues Timaeus and Critias, examining the concentric rings, the orichalcum temple, the divine origins and catastrophic end. The episode traces how Atlantis transformed from ancient allegory to Renaissance possibility to modern fixation, revealing why this particular myth endures when countless others fade. Raven establishes that Atlantis exists in the gap between history and imagination, between what was and what we wish had been, making it simultaneously fictional and more real than most documented history.
