Plato did not call that island Atlantis, Atlantis was a moral parable, but tamanrasset river was legit. I know which Wikipedia article I'm reading next.
Welp, it flowed in completely the opposite fucking direction to the one on this map, which makes a lot more geographic sense, so don't really think Herodotus gets any points on this one
It's very short but cool
But you don't need to know about that river to look at a map and go "So there was an ancient river that flowed uphill?"
