The first episode of Unsolved and Unforgotten explores the legend of Atlantis, the lost continent first described by Plato over two thousand years ago. Plato's vivid account tells of an advanced civilization blessed with wealth, power, and technology, which was eventually destroyed by divine punishment in a single cataclysmic night.
The episode traces how the story may have been an allegory, but also considers global parallels—flood myths in Mesopotamia, India, and the Americas—that hint at possible real-world events like Ice Age sea-level rise. The search for Atlantis has spanned centuries, from theories about Santorini's volcanic eruption to underwater formations in the Caribbean, the Sahara's mysterious "Eye," and even Antarctica.
Beyond the theories, Atlantis endures because of what it symbolizes: both hope for humanity's forgotten greatness and fear of civilization's fragility. In today's world of rising seas and environmental anxieties, Atlantis feels like both a prophecy and a warning. Whether real or allegorical, its power lies in its refusal to disappear from imagination.
Atlantis remains—unsolved, and unforgettable.
