Del lado de fuera, bajo las brillantes estrellas de un cielo invernal, se extendía la Roma moderna, con su larga doble hilera de focos eléctricos, los cafés brillantemente iluminados, los coches que pasaban veloces y una apretada muchedumbre desfilando por las aceras.

Tsunamis (sea storms) have existed for centuries and if there really was an Atlantis, any survivors may have fled inland and built new cities.
