Pettytalk,
Plato did not go wobbly in the passage you cited.
 
docyabut2 has already linked to an image showing that a "1500-1300 BC culture" for bronze age Southwestern Spain and southern Portugal is named for a small peninsula:  the Atalaia peninsula. 
 
 
The Atalaia coastal region shed much of of its soil (into the sea) in three regional tsunami's:  2000 BC; 1600 BC; and 1200 BC.
 
When the Phoenicians arrived in this region, by sea ca. 1100-900 BC, the Phoenicians reported that that the sea farther west than Gadeira/Gades/Cadiz became too shallow to sail farther west.

Which, assuming you've actually reported what the Phoenicians claimed accurately, would have been a lie on their part as the entrance to/exit from the Mediterranean (as claimed by Plato) WAS NOT blocked nor was the area further westward from Cadiz. At most the only area that 'may' have been blocked was the exit of the Quadalquivir River into the Gulf of Tartessos. That WOULD NOT affect the PoH/SoG.

It should also be pointed out that Tavira, Portugal was ALSO a Phoenician settlement, dating to at least the 8th Century BC.

A.R.E is a group of con artists and medical frauds whose "Atlantis research?" is a flow of racist, revisionist history bull chips. :o

I am not half Atlantean and half Hebrew. :angry:

I'm 1/4 Denisovan, 1/4 Siberian and half some unidentified North Yorkshire hominid. :yes:

Tartessos isn’t Plato’s Atlantis either but that hasn’t stopped anyone from claiming otherwise.

We also agree that you and a couple of your buddies are not worth cutting up much; too dense to feel the blade cutting.

The list of Phoenician settlements also includes Figueira da Foz and Lisbon, Portugal, BOTH of which are on the western Portuguese coast and contradicts the lie that the western areas beyond Cadiz were unnavigable.

Phoenicians always were hugging the coast lines  so it could have been Tartessos  

quit denying it  that  may be Tartessos  was written in the bible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartessos

 

Simcha Jacobovici, involved in the production of a documentary on Freund's work for the National Geographic Channel, stated that the biblical Tarshish (which he believes is the same as Tartessos) was Atlantis,

Just stop, as you don't understand Plato. Go and read Plato at least 100 times over, and then come back and give it a whirl again, as you currently have mud all over your face.

In any event, the original Pillars of Heracles were the promontories of Taenarum and Maleas atop which were temple of Apollo and Poseidon at the southern end of the Peloponnese.

Citing an incompetent researcher doesn't make it true.

Wasn't the culture contemporary with the Solon anyway?

A culture, such as Tartessos, being contemporary to Solon makes it entirely irrelevant to “when” Plato placed Atlantis,  “where” Plato placed it and “what” Plato described it as which was an island and NOT the mainland. 

Jacobovici’s attempt to reinterpret Plato’s Atlantis makes him no more reliable than any  other failed “researcher”.

OH sure. 

 My point is that even with the stated caveats Tartessos was still active and trading while according to the story Atlantis is long destroyed. 

I mean, some of the other proposed identified locations for Atlantis you can see it. 

 But Tartessos fits none of them, and wasn't even destroyed at the time.

Unfortunately people like docyabut2 and atalante don’t care about whether Tartessos was active or not they just want a place to pin the name Atlantis on.

You are making me too tall, make that a 1/4 inch.

Still, you are much better looking than what I can picture Jaylemurph to look like

They say that dogs resemble their owners. And if Jay is a dog owner, this is how I picture his dog.

I hate to agree here, but I have to, since it's closer to the truth.
