Atlantis is an island whose existence and location have never been confirmed. The first references to Atlantis are from the classical Greek philosopher Plato, who said it was engulfed by the ocean as the result of an earthquake 9,000 years before his own time.
While there are many hypotheses about Atlantis, the vast majority of scientists concludes that Atlantis never existed, and that Plato made up the story using elements that may have been drawn from real events.
Atlantis plays an important role in Tomb Raider and its remake Tomb Raider Anniversary, where Lara searches for the Atlantean artefact the Scion. She is hired by Jacqueline Natla who, as we learn throughout the game, is one of the former rulers of Atlantis.
