1. The Lost City of Atlantis – Was It Ever Real?
🌀 Some say it was a powerful empire swallowed by the sea in a single day.
📜 Others believe it was just a myth created by Plato.
🌊 Could it have been based on a real civilization like the Minoans?

This isn't even an article, just a title with some one-line facts and AI photos. No 'theories' like the title promised. Bring back being able to downvote posts, this is even worse than usual BP.
