first time it was ever heard of was in an Alagory tale by Plato. its certainly based some what on facts (parts of islands have sunk after earth quakes. etc).
Unless someone gets super lucky like with Troy, this one is going to stay as a myth based off of Plato's writings IMO

they cut a bunch of the really dark stuff for being too obvious. though there are some versions out there (according to the wiki page).
Other not so obvious ones being: Everybody walk the Dinosaur, 99 Luft Balloons, and Melt with You.
They cannot all be as straight shooting with their message as Sun Ra.
