[[folder:In General]]
An ancient human culture long lost below the waves. A small fragment of their empire still lives deep beneath the earth.
----
* AdvancedAncientHumans: The Atlanteans have technology and science far more advanced than anything recorded in history including laser-shooting hovercrafts, floating monuments, crystals that grant healing and advanced longevity, the ability to rapidly pick up languages created millennia after their own, and massive machines. All this while still possessing tribalistic characteristics. In their case, they're a strange case of a proud warrior race and a proud scholar race.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: They were designed to be the people from which all other cultures evolved from, and as such have a mid-brown skin tone and neutral somatic features that aren't clearly linked to any one area of Earth.
* DyingRace: They're dying out, albeit slowly -- while their society is still hanging on in the movie's time, they've lost most of their ancient knowledge and are reduced to a life of sustinence fishing. The ruins of their city are also clearly built to house many more people than currently inhabit, and most modern Atlanteans simply live in small huts and houses while the ancient buildings go unused.
* TheFogOfAges: They have lost much of their culture over the centuries. None of the modern-day Atlanteans can even read their own writing. Kida even observes this and requests Milo's help in teaching them their old ways.
* InexplicableLanguageFluency: The Atlanteans are able to fluently communicate with the explorers from the surface in English and French. This is handwaved as their own language being a precursor to all other languages.
* LongLived: The Atlanteans' lifespan is finite -- King Kashekim is visibly very advanced in age and nearing death -- but incredibly long. Kida is around 8,800 years old, but looks like a regular human would in her twenties.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Almost all of the Atlanteans have naturally white hair regardless of age.
* {{Omniglot}}: The Atlanteans are implied to be fluent in every single language spoken in the world in addition to their own language. When the expedition first enters Atlantis, Milo and Kida converse in several different languages (including the Atlantean, Latin, Hebrew and French) before settling on English for the rest of the film.
* PrimordialTongue: The Atlantean language is presented as the ancestor of all modern languages, and demonstrated when Kida and some other Atlanteans are able to learn several modern languages after just hearing snippets of them.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The Atlanteans are positively ancient due to the restorative powers of the Heart of Atlantis. Kida herself is over 8,800 years old and still appears in her early twenties.
* TranslationConvention: The Atlanteans, despite having their own ConstructedLanguage, speak English amongst themselves for much of the film.
