Atlantis: Lost Continent That Vanished Beneath the Waves

Welcome to Sleepytime History — true stories from the pages of history for a full night's rest.

Tonight, settle in with a gentle audiobook voyage to Atlantis. These audio books are made to unwind with history, get sleepy, and invite history for serenity and harmony: tranquil history, history legends, audiobooks, history for serenity, history to soothe the mind, and history for sleep. We drift through the lost city of Atlantis as Plato—one of the greatest minds in history—sets it down in Timaeus and Critias, tracing Atlas and Poseidon across ancient Greece. Then we weigh the Atlantis theory beside the well-documented Thera eruption, and notice how easily myth and memory trade places.

Let this quiet story of endurance and devotion guide you into a restful night’s sleep.
