Recent natural disasters caused by abnormal climate conditions, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, have left people in a state of panic. However, since the beginning of time, the roar of nature has never ceased. Just like the South Asian disaster in 2004 and the recent tsunami in Miyagi, Japan, the ocean seemed to boil, generating waves over 60 feet high, moving at speeds of over 200 miles per hour, sweeping everything in its path. Over 30,000 people drowned in just a few seconds. The once-sunny holiday beaches of Crete and Santorini were instantly transformed into a battlefield. This disaster seems familiar. However, it occurred much earlier. It happened in 1620 BC, destroying not only lives but also the earliest European civilization: the enchanting Bronze Age Minoan culture, and giving rise to the immortal and mysterious legend of Atlantis. Atlantis (meaning "Island of Atlas" in English), also translated as "Atlantis" or "Atlantis," is a legendary ancient continent with highly developed civilization, also known as the "Western Continent" or "Western Kingdom." The earliest description of it appears in the works of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. According to him, Atlantis was destroyed by a natural disaster nine thousand years ago. Now, thanks to advanced computer special effects technology, this ancient terrifying disaster will be brought into our living rooms, allowing us to "witness" it firsthand: *End of a World, Birth of a Legend*, a TV drama produced by BBC, Discovery Channel, and co-produced with German and French television networks, aired last weekend on BBC One and the high-definition (HD) channel.This TV drama tells the tragic fate of Atlantis, with strong visual impact and a love story like "Romeo and Juliet". Taiwan should be able to see it in the future.
