According to written history, the temple of Athens on the Acropolis was been built in the 5th century BC but in the Critias, Plato, who lived from 427 - 347 BC, mentions that the city Athens was founded in 9640 BC. In that time the Acropolis was not yet a table top mountain, but was part of a hilly landscape on which there was very fertile agricultural soil. The climate had been very moderate, different to now. But a disaster took place and in one night with exceptionally violent rains and severe earthquakes, the soil was washed away entirely. From then on, only the hard rock table top mountain remained.

The state of Athens had a reputation as it was the only state that showed resistance to the enormous supremacy of the army of Atlantis that threatened Europe. Athens succeeded in conquering this powerful army. The goddess Athena founded Sais in Egypt and this kick-started the development of Egypt, 1000 years after the founding of Athens.
