Atlantis: Myth or Reality? Thousands of years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote about a city called Atlantis, located somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean. The city he described was nearly perfect. The people were advanced in math, science, and engineering. The buildings and gardens were beautiful. Fountains flowed with hot and cold water, and stone walls were decorated with gold and silver. Plato told of Atlantis’s end—how the city was destroyed in a terrible flood because its people did not properly worship the gods. Ever since, because the location of the city was never clear, people have wondered if Atlantis really existed. Many have searched for evidence around the world, even beneath the sea. Some people believe Atlantis was once located on the Greek island of Santorini. The island was inhabited by the Minoans, a society with advanced scientific knowledge. Santorini was ripped apart by a volcanic eruption around 1500 bc, which could explain the lack of any remains of the city. Others think Atlantis was on Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean because Plato described enormous statues like the ones that have been found there. Still other people place the lost city in the mountains of Bolivia, in the China Sea, or in Africa. The fact is that no remains from Atlantis have ever been found. This has led many experts to conclude that Atlantis was made up, a perfect city that existed only in Plato’s mind.

A. the destruction of Atlantis

C. Plato’s description of Atlantis

Report from the Irish Coast This is Sean O’Malley, traveling reporter for MyFeed Youth Radio from the island of Inishmore off the coast of Ireland. Right now I’m standing on the outer wall of Dún Aonghasa (DOON an-GUS) Fort. This stone fort is a popular sightseeing destination because experts believe it may have been built between 1400 and 600 bc. Today, the innermost wall is exposed to the sea, which lies 300 feet below. Experts believe the fortress was built with circular walls that stood at least 12 feet tall in places. It was also once several hundred feet away from the sea. The force of the ocean may have eroded the coast along with the fort walls. In addition to the stone walls, razor-sharp limestone pillars set upright and close together helped defend the fort. These pillars did an excellent job of deterring attackers. Even today, visitors have difficulty getting past them as they explore the ruins. The defensive pillars are not unique to Dún Aonghasa. They have been used for centuries on every continent. Visitors traveling to Dún Aonghasa should be prepared. Although the view of the ocean is breathtaking, the weather is often windy and cold. People with small children and people who have trouble moving should use extra care when visiting this ancient site.
Why does Sean O’Malley mention the history of defensive pillars in his newscast?
A. to explain more about their construction
B. to persuade people to use them
C. to inform people that the pillars are not unique
D. to teach people how to make them
C. to inform people that the pillars are not unique
