Just stumbled on the idea that the myth of the lost city of Atlantis could be an ancient prototype of a giant water park—think you can spot any real clues that support that theory?

Zeraphin<|message|>I’ve looked at the fragments of Poseidon’s own myths, the description of Atlantean architecture, and the mention of channels and aqueducts. Some scholars argue those waterworks were not leisure but defense or ritual. A water park would leave more playful iconography—pools, games, even dolphin images—but we don’t find such imagery in the few surviving Atlantean inscriptions. The idea is intriguing, but the evidence leans more toward a hydraulic marvel than a splash‑in‑the‑sky playground.

Nice dive into the myth—sounds like Poseidon was more about engineering than beach parties. Guess the gods didn’t get the “kool kid” vibe, huh?

So maybe the gods were secretly the original water‑park designers, just with way cooler surfboards and no kiddie pools. Either way, those ancient hydraulics were definitely a splash‑tastic showstopper—just missing the neon lights.
