Atlantis (legend)

Atlantis was a powerful empire established thousands of years ago that was mostly destroyed in a terrible cataclysm around 6586 BC and was rediscovered in 1914.

HistoryEdit
Atlantis was founded about 100,000 BC when a fragment from a passing comet fell to Earth on the landmass that would be called Atlantis. Possessing magical qualities that granted great power and extended the life of the people, it would become a great power-source and deity, the Heart of Atlantis. However, Atlantis would eventually abuse it's power and try to use the crystal as a weapon to fuel war, but this would be their downfall and as the crystal protected the capital city, it would carve out a cavern system below the earth for the city to rest in. Several thousand years later, a shepherd named Aziz would find an old cavern system leading into Atlantis, chronicling his two year journey into a series of scrolls that would eventually become the Shepherd's Journal. The journal would be passed around the world as numerous people tried to interpret it and it would eventually pass into the possession of Whitmore Industries when they found it in Iceland.

The spongebob version
In the Spongebob version of the series, Scroopfan was being too cowardly to keep the story intact and to show that the King of Atlantis was once a greedy, war-monger king who desired the crystal's power for war. Instead, he made up a new version where the King remained a good guy, and that it was all Dark Cynder's fault that the city sank, instead of the Great Kings of the Past, since apparently, deep issues involving greed and war are a no-no with Scroopfan.
