Is this Atlantis ... at the coast of Spain?

 I  support Lillios's hypothesis that the plaques are genealogical mnemonic recording systems.  Could be in trying to find the first chiefs.

I don't. I agree with the linked paper that they weren't. They also show no signs of long term wear indicating they were made for the dead.

Which comes back to the owl motif, a psychopomp to act as a afterlife guide.

The classic Iberian plaques have a bipartite compositional structure, consisting of a narrower

one-third (top) of the plaque and a wider bottom two-thirds of the plaque (base) (Fig. 3).

I refer to the narrower section as the ‘top’ because it is often perforated (with one or two holes),

and the plaques appear to have been hung from here (possibly on a person’s neck or a post)

To me they were Neolithic farmers who combined with Celts and Phoenicians to form the various Iberian Cultures and contributed to the Atlantic Bronze Age Culture.

also to me the Greeks just made up their names in the translations of the Egyptians of Atlantis, but it is in Gades

 

  Yet, before proceeding further in the narrative, I ought to warn you, that you must not be surprised if you should perhaps hear Hellenic names given to foreigners. I will tell you the reason of this: Solon, who was intending to use the tale for his poem, enquired into the meaning of the names, and found that the early Egyptians in writing them down had translated them into their own language, and he recovered the meaning of the several names and when copying them out again translated them into our language

And yet the Egyptians NEVER had a story concerning Atlantis at any point of their 3000+ year history.

So how was this story told to Solon if only the Egyptian language was in images ?

Plato made it up. There is NOT A SHRED of evidence that Solon ever knew of any such story outside of Plato’s claim. Hear-say doesn’t make it true.

It's perfectly fine to sound like a know it all if you do, in fact, know it all.

Hi Pettytalk

Well fortunately the last couple of days on the project have been kickass and given my vanity my disappointment goes unnoticed. By the way Petty that's not talk why is it that when you say dear to me that I envision your desire to firmly hug my neck?

From what I can tell, using Liddell and Scott's Greek and English Lexicon, the following phrase: 

Loosely translates as:  "the furthest point/portion in the direction of the Pillars of Hercules" which has NOTHING to do with the 'end of the world' as you claim. And even then, said part is only concerning the part of Plato's Atlantis that belongs to Eumelus and NOT Atlantis in its entirety. 

cormac

cormac,
You blanked out the most relevant part of this passage - about Gadeira.  To cover the passage's info about Gadeira, Bury's translation applied the sense for "epi' that the LSJ lexicon calls A.I.3.b.  

The Atlantis story is being narrated by Critias/Plato from the viewpoint of Solon (570 BC).  In that regard, from the time of Homer (ca 800 BC) to Pindar (ca 480 BC), Gadeira had been legendary, among Greeks, as the the western end of the world. 

But, as I pointed out previously, modern brains tend to be distracted by a modern idea that Gadeira/Gades/Cadiz is not the end of the world.

 

Bury translation:

the extremity of the island near the pillars of Heracles "up to" [=epi] the part of the country now called Gadeira after the name of that region

 

Thus the Atlantis island was east of Gadeira, which Greeks in Solon's era considered to be positioned at the western end of the world.

Except that's NOT what it says as it places EUMELUS' PORTION east of Gadeira. You're reinterpreting it to mean what you 'want' it to mean.

It’s because Solon literally stole the story, he stole everything about it, even the people’s memories of the story.
