10 Most Incredible Lost Cities

10. Atlantis

Unlike the rest of the cities in this list, Atlantis was never found, and historians almost unanimously agree that it never existed. Atlantis was mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato’s works, and in this allegory, Atlantis eventually submerges into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the fact that most agree that the city never existed, some people still search for the remains of the most famous lost city in history, which according to Plato is located “beyond the Pillars of Hercules”. There are many hypotheses as to the whereabouts of Atlantis, from islands in the Mediterranean, island in northern Europe, and even Antarctica was mentioned as a possible location
