What the researchers believe.

They all have one belief- “Atlantis is real we just haven’t found it yet.”

My Opinion

Atlantis is just a bedtime story used to entertain and intrigue children.

Why I think this

How could an entire civilization just disappear? It isn’t physically possible.

What makes it so mysterious?

That everyone says “it’s real” even scientists, logical theories have been found but Atlantis just vanished.

Big Question

Is it even Real?!

The Answer

Nobody knows, but people say it is there right in the ocean.
