From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Atlantis is a British fantasy-adventure television programme, inspired by Greek mythology ... which first aired in the UK on 28 September 2013 ... It will air on Space in Canada from 12 October 2013 and BBC America has announced that it will be premiering it on 23 November 2013.
The city of Atlantis is a strange, ancient dwelling; a world of bull leaping, of snake-haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants. Young Jason arrives in the city and an epic adventure begins.
So, this is not a continuation of the Stargate: Atlantis series, but another interpretation of the Atlantean myth.
The earliest account of Atlantis is by Plato in his book "Timeus". He did not go into a lot of detail about its location, so speculation abounds as to where Atlantis (or the city it was based on) may have been. My preferred assumption is that the Atlantis myth represents a collective account of coastal cities that were lost when the seas rose after the most recent Ice Age ended. The fact that ancient peoples tended to dwell along the shores of lakes, oceans, and waterways lends credence to this assumption, and may also imply a causes as to why nearly every civilization in the last 12,000 years with a written history has had some kind of "Great Flood" myth.
