Atlantean
From sunken civilization
Atlantean describes anything relating to Atlantis, the legendary island civilization that Plato wrote about as having sunk beneath the ocean.
The word often characterizes things of mythic scale or ancient mystery: Atlantean ruins, Atlantean technology.
It can also suggest something impossibly grand or lost to time.
An Atlantean is a supposed inhabitant of Atlantis.
In architecture, atlantean refers to male figures used as supporting columns, the masculine counterpart to caryatids.
