AZORES
THE MYTHICAL ATLANTIS
Once
upon a time…
There was a vast continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean called Atlantis. It was a amazing place. It had beautiful scenery, mild climate, great forests, giant trees, very fertile plains, and tame animals, full health and strength.
Its inhabitants were the Atlanteans, who had a great civilization, even almost perfect and very rich.
The Gods, seeing so much wealth and beauty, were filled with envy and, therefore, triggered an earthquake so violent that sank the continent in one night.
But, it seemed that this land was really magical, because it did not sink completely, the tops of the tallest mountains were above the water and formed nine islands, as beautiful as the land submerged… the Azores.
Atlantis Azorean Legend ~
Plato, Greek philosopher, who lived five centuries before Christ, described this mythical land, in the books “Critias” and “Timaeus”.
