Could the island city of Nan Madol be Atlantis ?

[qxcontinuum]

The Atlantic Sea means the Black Sea: This Sea used to be in-naviable due to methane and hydrosulfide gas resulting from the biological death of the sea as a consequence of inflowing saltwater into the freshwater lake. Rising gas bubbles lead a ship to immediately sink because the relative density of water with bubbles rapidly deteriorates. The methane gas is stored within the sediments at the bottom of the sea. The early Greece still called the sea “inhospitable sea”.

The Atlantic Ocean itself received its name from a misled location of Atlantis; consequently, this name does not give a clue to the location. The Greek word for sea, pontos, alone means the Black Sea. In the same way the Indo-European word for sea, mare (Latin), morje (Russian), meer (German), meru (Indian) originally means the Black Sea. Finally, if one takes a look at the global map of any culture in this region, Indian, Egypt, even antique Greece, the Black Sea is always in the middle (example1 example2 example3)!

 

World of Herodot 450 BC

 

The area is the basin in the northwest of the Black Sea. The area from Danube River to Don River and from Dneporopetrowsk to the former shoreline coincides with the size mentioned in the saga. As described, the area is slightly sloped towards the Black Sea rim.

 

The mountains in the north with their rich settlements mean the Carpathian Mountains with the archaeologically proven settlements of Starcevo-Koeroes-Cris. Wood, salt, gold, silver, probably copper and certainly obsidian (see below) were transported towards Atlantis via the Alt and Danube rivers. The location in the northwest coincides with the steady wind out of northwest.

 

It is supposed that Atlantis was an island. This is partly correct, partly not: The absolute center actually was an island with channels/rivers on all sides. The whole area was not an island. From the context it is clear that the word island is used in two different meanings: To describe the island in the middle of the capital and the country Atlantis itself. Swiss archaeologist Eberhard Zangger found out, that the Egypt Hieroglyph means both: Island and foreign country.

 

The Pillars of Hercules are identical with the Strait of Bosporus. As a matter of fact, the primary source did not say anything about the Strait of Gibraltar. First of all, the Pillars of Hercules are probably misinterpreted by the Egyptian Priest. We suppose that the primary source tells something about a strait in the west. Further, the Strait of Gibraltar received the name later through re-interpretation. In the beginning, the Strait of Bosporus was identified with this name. Later, around 2000 BC the antique Greece culture moved towards its today location from their area north of the Black Sea. Whereas the original Pillars of Hercules used to be in the west (from the earlier location), they were now lying in the east (from today’s location). Consequently, the name was given to the new strait in the west, Gibraltar. In the same way the name Hesperia (West) moved from the Carpathian Mountains (Atlantis-time) over Italy to Spain with the expansion of Greece’s horizon. Further, hero Hercules/Herakles is believed to dig the channel before putting up the pillars. This interpretation is not very fitting for the big strait at Gibraltar but for the 20 miles long and 1 mile wide channel from the Mediterrainan Sea/Marmara Sea to the Black Sea (picture). Finally, the mis-interpretation is due to the fact that Herakles visited Iberia. Later, when the saga was interpreted by the Greece and Romans, Iberia meant Spain. Earlier, Iberia was a country at the eastern coast of the Black Sea!

Since it's in the middle of the Pacific, not Atlantic ocean, Nan Madol would be the lost continent or Lemuria or "Mu". The lost city of Atlantis, based on geodetic map studies, is most likely Ireland, which faces the Atlantic. And theories about Atlantis linked to the Aztec empire (their self-name is A(z)tlan), perhaps in central Mexico between the two oceans.

no, it cannot be since Atlantis is known by real historians to have existed on the Eastern European continent in the black sea close to Meditereanian sea and Greece land.

And you think that there could be an Island contentent the size of Asia in the Black Sea before it was flooded, that is truely a unique concept.

I thought Lemuria was named after the Lemur and theorised as a way to bridge the existence of thr Lemur on mainland Africa and Madagascar.

The Atlantic Sea is the Atlantic Ocean to us. The term "Atlantic" derives from Atlantis, yes, but Atlantis actually means "of Atlas."

It was called the Sea of Atlas, in other words. "Sea" because Oceanus was thought of differently at the time, and "of Atlas" because it was far in the West, where Atlas supposedly held up the heavens.

So despite no evidence to date, there is still a push for the lost continent? *sighs*

Yep, Oceanus was the 'world ocean' the giant body of water which surrounded the world which was believed to be a single large landmass with a few islands.  Alexander the Great believed the Caspian was an arm of Ocean because he believed he near the edge of the world once he passed the Jaxartes River, meaning the Caspian seemed likely to be an inlet.  He also believed that when he sailed into the Indian Ocean he was in Ocean since it was thought to be the same body of water.
