It seems that nobody has wanted to solve the Atlantis mystery…until now. Plato is quite explicit in terms of its chronology, exact location, dimensions, and place in history. Read on:

Or what about the hill that is called both Batieia and Myrina , and many other examples from this poet and various others? But perhaps these matters are too exalted for you and I to understand, whereas Scamandrius and Astyanax are more amenable to human investigation as, in my opinion, it is easier to investigate what he maintains are the names of Hector’s son and what precisely he means by the correctness of these. I am sure that you know the lines that include these references.” _{(Cratylus 392)}
