Atlantis - unsolved secret

The actuality of the problem
The word “Аtlantis” has become a symbol of practically unsoluble riddle. The history of disputes concerning to Аtlantis totals almost two thousand years.
This theme is rather topical. Scientists continue writing books, articles,notes,in which they express their own minds about the problem of Atlantis. In my opinion, the problem of Atlantis will be up-to-date till Atlantis is found or scientists find irrefutable proofs of its inexistence.
