10 Mind-Blowing Pieces Of Evidence That Proves Lost City Of Atlantis Was Real

4. War With The Greeks

Caused by this aggressive expansion, Plato tells us that the Greeks waged war against the Atlanteans. Eventually, the Greeks won and the Atlanteans were defeated (I mean, Plato probably would have left this story on the drawing board if there had been any other result). This is what ended the expansion of the Atlanteans.

Historically, it’s known that the Mycenaean Greeks did wage war against the Minoans. And, just like in the story of Atlantis, the Greeks won. This is believed to have happened in roughly 1500 BCE or a couple generations later, and this is what brought about the end of the Minoan civilization. So in this area, the history of the Minoans is a good match for the supposed history of the Atlanteans.
