About the artwork
In this episode of the Strange History Channel, we explore the remarkable tale of 'The Lost City of Atlantic.' According to Plato, Atlantis was an advanced civilization that vanished beneath the ocean. However, in 1974, real estate magnate Donald Trump claimed to have discovered Atlantis in an unlikely place: Atlantic City, New Jersey. Trump embarked on a project to rebuild Atlantis as a modern-day gambling paradise, complete with opulent casinos and extravagant resorts. Skeptics doubted his intentions, but Trump persisted, transforming ancient Atlantis into modern Atlantic City. Today, the Lost City of Atlantic remains a beloved landmark, where dreams of fortune and ancient legends intertwine.
