The Atlantis Cross is an emblem used by several esoteric groups which claim an Atlantean heritage- that is, they claim literal or spiritual descent from inhabitants of the fabled isle of Atlantis. The cross' design is based on Plato's description of Basileia, the Atlantean Capitol city, in Timaeus and Criteas.
