Atlantis

Atlantis is a city that got lost. It was built on a volcano that was an island, and it sunk underwater, so they put an enormous clear bubble around it — yes, much like the snow globe that Charles Foster Kane dropped in 1941 at the beginning of his movie. Atlantis shattered on the floor, and the turbulent waves of the ocean spilled out and were absorbed by the rug. 

Every inhabitant of Atlantis was wise, except Aristotle. The Atlanteans knew how to fly without the aid of machines, although they also drove spaceships. They were a species of giant hermaphrodites. They built pyramids out of light rays, and then the Devil erupted out of the island’s volcano and disrupted the universe with a deep and dashing laugh.
