The graphic background randomly shifts within each tile, so any installation of POSEIDON decos delivers. ATLANTIS is made in the USA in an installer-friendly 12x12 format, with mosaic sheets and bullnose trim. Country after country began to fall to the power of the Atlanteans until only one power stood against them Ancient Athens. It has served as both a cautionary tale and a source of awe and wonder for the intellectually curious. How did the land that was Atlantis come to be And what can be taken from the tale of a race that was once proud and mighty before being brought to humility by the gods of Ancient Greece. Poseidon was given the island of Atlantis which was actually the size of a continent. Atlantis was said to be larger than Libya and Asia Minor combined, making it a respectable piece of land to inherit. He fell in love with a woman who lived on the island named Cleito. They were married and had five sets of twins together, all sons. In addition to being king of the island, he was also named king of the sea. Though he technically had control over the entire island, he chose to make the mountain where he was born and the surrounding land his home. It is said that he was given control over the area of Atlantis that was closest to the Pillars of Hercules. The four other pairs of twins were also known to be very prosperous. They were all known to have impressive land and many subjects. Their names were Ampheres, Evaemon, Mneseus, Autochthon, Elasippus, Mestor, Azaes, and Diaprepes. He carved the mountain where she lived into a great palace and placed three moats around it each moat larger than the last. The moats were approximately one to three stadia wide and were separated by rings of land that were just as expansive. Bridges were constructed leading into the island and tunnels were carved into the moats to allow the passage of boats in and out of the main city. Each moat was heavily guarded to ensure the protection of Cleito and her sons. No one had to toil in order to survive all work was relatively easy and made for high quality of life. Every food grew in their soil and the animals were plentiful enough for all who lived there. The land was also rich in precious metals like gold and silver. Additionally, Poseidon himself had made a stream of hot water and a stream of cold water that ran through the island to ensure that all the needs of the people were taken care of. Atlantis was still the culturally rich and immensely wealthy island country that it started as, but greed began to arise in the hearts of the people. It is possible that the sudden exposure of increased wealth and power bestowed on these humans made them hunger for more than what they needed. This greed caused them to look past their own country and seek to conquer other lands. They started with the area inside the Pillars of Hercules and sought to control all the land in the Mediterranean.
