Plato Describes Demise of Ancient Athens and The Acropolis

 

The Acropolis

Plato describes life in ancient Athens and around The Acropolis before, during, and after a sudden cataclysmic event.  This event changed the landscape around them, including washing away fertile soils.  This story matches other ancient stories that describe mankind as living in a paradise or Garden of Eden lifestyle, and in this case, appeared to be a people of peace and shared what they had with each other.
