Atlantis was always fictional. Yet it somehow became the center of a religion. The heart of conspiracy theories today. And even the motivation behind an occult Nazi hunt, right before the onset of WWII.

AI Disclosure: We used AI to create some of the imagery of Atlantis which our (very talented) animator then took and spent weeks developing into what you see in the video. When AI is used to generate any imagery that may appear onscreen, we’ll add this to the video description. We’re learning as we go how to implement, and appreciate your thoughts.
