Have you tried looking on the Internet?

And what exactly do you need to know?

A guy in my school wrote his extended essay on Atlantis. As far as I remember, one of the theories about it's whereabouts was somewhere near South America. But then again, that is only one of many.

It's a lost city, is what I know... an entire civilisation destroyed thousands of years ago, right?

Sorry, I don't really know all that much about it - that's about all I can remember. Try looking it up n the Internet, maybe in some books.

Away until August 31st (possibly longer)

Apparently, Hitler believed that Atlanteans were purest possible peoples: the Aryans, as they were dubbed. He tried to replicate that and so began the Holocaust.

I cannot remember the source (perhaps a British documentary), so you might want to snoop around on Wikipedia or Google.

Good luck!
