Is Atlantis buried in Spain ?

I don't think we can dismiss this based on that fact alone. There are no records of the exodus from Egypt, and that is not so easily brushed aside. It is if you don't take the Bible literally, which most historians do not.

It is if you don't take the Bible literally, which most historians do not. You don't have to take the bible literally to understand where the exodus comes from. My theory is this. Akhenaten moved his people from the major cities into the desert. As all records of this experiment were destroyed, (as the egyptians were prone to do when they didn't like something from their history) it would be easy to lose the story to time. Akhenaten slowly becomes thutmosis, then Moses. The people slowly progress from being Egyptians to slaves and then Isrealites. Look up the prayer to the Aten and see the ori... [More]

Sorry tripple post, computer not behaving.

I do hope things ease up for you and you get some time for yourself. I look forward to continuing this debate. Until then ,may the work be easy and the pay plentiful. Hah, well, work is as it is. Sometimes easy, sometimes hard. Pay is... well, it's there. Appreciate ouor patience, and I aologize again for the snap. Here's a thread started by Sinewave, on the Archaeological Evidence for Moses, worth a look.

Not sure about my link to akhenaten now, but that was to be expected. I noticed that whilst everyone seemed to agree that the ancient historians were sketchy at best, but no one linked this style of writing to the authors of the old testament.
