"Atlantis" means "The Land of Atlas", known as the "Domain of Poseidon", Greek god of the Sea. He longed for more than marine creatures over which to rule and so, created a civilisation upon the sea itself; The City of Atlantis. With the passage of time, however, as it was with the other gods, he lost the reverence and worship of his people. Enraged by this and in his last act as god of seas, he used his command over the waters to freeze Atlantis and its people and bury them in the continent of ice which we now call, "Antarctica"... but they were still his people, and he loved them dearly, he would not let another people build a life upon the corpses of his fallen children, so he covered the region in ice and made it inhospitable; commanding that it would be forgotten from history so that no one would ever be tempted to break the ground and unearth what he wants forever buried.
