Fall Asleep to the Entire Story of Atlantis | Boring History for Sleep

Fall asleep to the story of Atlantis—from Plato’s mysterious island and its ringed canals to centuries of searching and the real Bronze Age world beneath the volcanic ash of Santorini. Tonight on Myth Hours, we explore what Plato actually wrote, how the legend changed over time, and what the archaeology of Minoan Crete and Akrotiri can tell us. Atlantis remains unconfirmed; the ancient towns, painted rooms, and volcanic catastrophe of the Aegean are real. Settle in for 2 hours and 41 minutes of calm narration, atmospheric historical artwork, and gentle motion. There is nothing to keep up with—simply listen, relax, and drift off. Where in the world are you listening from tonight? Let us know below.
