While its very likely that the legend of the lost kingdom of Atlantis introduced by the ancient greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timeaus and Critias is a re-telling of the factual volcanic catastrophe that wiped out the ancient Minoan civilization, there have been many modern ideas and fantasies that have led some to believe that Atlantis was possibly a culture of extra-terrestrial origins. While I for one personally lean toward the recent archaeological Minoan theory, I still enjoy journeying in my mind to an Atlantis of the imagination. A few years ago, from 2004-2008, I began making several drawings and sketches for Atlantean buildings, people and machines of a more science-fictional bend.
