[Alternative version](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/988/120/large/rocio-espin-pinar-atlantis-01.jpg?1443929638) with much less fictional urban sprawl. Both illustrations were made by Rocío Espín Piñar. Here's [a brief account](http://www.ancient.eu/atlantis/) on the history of the myth (including some passages from Plato), which has survived and thrived for two and a half millennia. **EDIT:** Hello everyone! Welcome to /r/papertowns! I didn't expect this to blow up to the second page of /r/all. It's already the most upvoted papertown ever, only 4 hours after posting it. We've got many gorgeous illustrated maps here, so go on and explore the sub to see for yourself, hope you'll enjoy! (Check the sidebar for some quick examples of what you can find here.)

Nice! I wonder if there is one of those for the City of Tenochtitlan.

I work at a bar and there is this quirky guy that always comes for a pint. Well one day he told me that he has done extensive research after believing to have found Atlantis in Bolivia and he showed me his website about it. [Here it is in case you are interested](http://atlantisbolivia.org/)
