===Amazonia===▼
▲==Amazonia==
The Amazons built a magnificent city, calling it ''Amazonia''. They easily defeated all attackers.
Aphrodite became angry at the Amazonians because they succumbed to the wiles of men. The submission proved to be unbearable and Hippolyta pleaded with Aphrodite for help in securing the Magic Girdle. She conceded and the Amazons were able to overcome their masters – the men. However, Aphrodite’s aid was not without conditions. They must wear the bracelets fashioned by our captors, reminding them of the folly of submitting to man’s domination and secondly, they must sail for many days and nights
===Paradise Island===
After sailing on their seemingly endless journey, they arrive on the shore of a mysterious island, clearly directed there by Aphrodite. They call their new home [[Paradise Island (Earth-2A)|Paradise Island]]. With its fertile soil, its marvelous vegetation, and varied natural resources, there was no want, no illness, no hatreds, and no wars. And as long as the Amazons remained on Paradise Island and Hippolyte retained the magic girdle, they retained the power of eternal life—so long as they did not permit themselves to again be beguiled by men.
===The Magic Sphere===

Shortly after their arrival, Athena (goddess of wisdom) gave them the Magic Sphere. This gift provides knowledge of man’s world. This knowledge has help the Amazons stay far advanced over men and their inventions.<ref>Info on this page is revealed in ''All-Star Comics, #8/3'' (Dec.1941 – Jan. 1942) and ''Wonder Woman, #1'' (July 1942).</ref>
Shortly after their arrival, Athena (goddess of wisdom) gave them the 'Magic Sphere'. This gift provides knowledge of man’s world, by revealing events from the present and past—and sometimes even forecast the future. With the visions of the future seen from the Magic Sphere, the Amazons were able to far surpass the inventions of man-made civilization. Not only were the Amazons stronger and wiser, but their weapons were more advanced, and their flying machines were faster.
