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

If the timeline of Robert Drews is reasonably correct (in The Coming of the Greeks), then the "Greeks" entered Greece and Peloponnesia ca. 1600 BC.    Thus I agree with your category of "paleo-Balkan folk", for the Pelasgians.

 

Greeks were Paleo-Balkan. Greeks, Illyrians and Thracian- Dacians all stem from Paleo-Balkan folk.

We were discussing two etymologies for the word Pelasgian.  My post showed that one of those two etymologies (Klein's) was phonetically "impossible".  Therefore, I concluded (by rejecting the impossible) that the other etymology, Murray's, was superior.

So when did you study PIE.?

The way you phrased that is off. The pronunciation of sounds varies; these are called allophones.  The v sound and b sound occur only when the p sound in certain positions (like beginnings of words/syllables). “Alternative” makes it sound like the speaker actively chooses what they pronounce, and that’s not what happens. 

(If you don’t understand what an allophone is — a very basic fundamental of historical linguistics — you probably shouldn’t be pontificating on the subject...)

Shoals anyone?

This is precisely why Plato used the word Pelagos for the Atlantic, and not Okeanos. And the reason for it was to emphasize a local and particular part of the Atlantic ocean, just as discussed earlier in the thread, why certain parts of the Mediterranean Thalassa are identified as pelagos. 

Plato's Timaeus: "For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way;"   Directly in front of the Pillars of Heracles, the only shoals to be found are the ones that run along the eastern seaboard of the USA.

Cape Hatteras is a bend in Hatteras Island, one of the long thin barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks. It is the site where the two great basins of the East Coast meet.^[2] The cape's shoals are known as Diamond Shoals.

Barrier islands are dynamic systems that migrate under the influence of changing sea levels, storms, waves, tides, and longshore currents. ... In the United States, barrier islands occur along gently sloping sandy coastlines such as those along the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast as far north as Long Island, New York.

Barrier islands, sometimes called barrier spits, are found on coastlines all over the world, but are most noticeable along the eastern coast of North America, where they extend from New England down the Atlantic Coast, around the Gulf of Mexico and south to Mexico.  

The four nations with the most barrier island miles are the United States (24 percent), Mexico (11 percent), Russia (8 percent), and Australia (7 percent). Nearly a quarter of all barrier islands are found in the Arctic.

Such was the natural state of the country, which was cultivated, as we may well believe, by true husbandmen, who made husbandry their business, and were lovers of honour, and of a noble nature, and had a soil the best in the world, and abundance of water, and in the heaven above an excellently attempered climate. Now the city in those days was arranged on this wise. In the first place the Acropolis was not as now. For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth and laid bare the rock; at the same time there were earthquakes, and then occurred the extraordinary inundation, which was the third before the great destruction of Deucalion

So what was the third flood and extraordinary inundation of Athens , the same time of Atlantis`s  earthquakes and flooding ?

Fine. And do any of those constitute "impassible shoals", as Plato describes ? Is it the case that no ships can approach the eastern coast of North America ?

Do you get paid by some Atlantidiot group to huck that image around a couple of times a day, or do you think it magically compels people to think a fictional place was real?

Atlantis allegedly WASN'T a small island which makes Gades as Atlantis rather moot.

Piney,
Research about PIE is rather fluid, i.e. not "settled science".    https://dienekes.blogspot.com/2015/02/strong-linguistic-and-archaeological.html

Robert Drews argued that militant bronze age chariot-driving Mycenaeans immigrated into Greece ca 1600 BC. 

(In a similar era, militant bronze age chariot-driving Hyksos immigrated into Egypt ca 1650 BC). 

 

Research by Dongen, about the Greek "Theogony story" of Hesiod and Homer (ca. 900 BC), shows that Theogony was borrowed and adapted from Anatolia.   https://grbs.library.duke.edu/article/download/12791/1881

Critias 109e to 110b proposes that Theogony details for the era before 1270 BC (= before the era of Theseus) had been garbled before the early details were handed down to classical era Greece.

Not connected. They were Semites, and I don't think they used chariots.

 The sound shift P-B-V are common in Indo-European languages. It's why I pronounce Dublin, "Duv lin" and Americans say "Dub lin". 

Vlachs are Thracian-Dacians who were Romanized and learned Vulgar Latin

"Mass Comparison" is such a bad form of research...it's not. 

The Vlachs are a branch of the Paleo-Balkan People, but they were never Pelasgians

Genetically as a whole the Greeks appear to have been a combination with Mycenaean Greeks having an extra admixture as seen in the following: 

Quote

The origins of the Bronze Age Minoan and Mycenaean cultures
have puzzled archaeologists for more than a century. We have
assembled genome-wide data from 19 ancient individuals, including
Minoans from Crete, Mycenaeans from mainland Greece, and their
eastern neighbours from southwestern Anatolia. Here we show that
Minoans and Mycenaeans were genetically similar, having at least
three-quarters of their ancestry from the first Neolithic farmers
of western Anatolia and the Aegean^1,2, and most of the remainder
from ancient populations related to those of the Caucasus³ and
Iran^4,5. However, the Mycenaeans differed from Minoans in
deriving additional ancestry from an ultimate source related to the
hunter–gatherers of eastern Europe and Siberia^6–8, introduced via
a proximal source related to the inhabitants of either the Eurasian
steppe^1,6,9 or Armenia^4,9. Modern Greeks resemble the Mycenaeans,
but with some additional dilution of the Early Neolithic ancestry.
Our results support the idea of continuity but not isolation in the
history of populations of the Aegean, before and after the time of
its earliest civilizations.

The "ultimate source" in the text (which dates to August 2017) given for the Mycenaean Greeks appears to have occurred between the 2nd and 3rd millenia BC.

The "ultimate source"'s "proximal source" seems to be the Yamnaya Culture of the Pontic Caspian Steppe and I don't know why they didn't say that.

At the rate this thread is going I wouldn't be surprised if Atlantis was said to have been a newly discovered "lost continent" from 100 million years ago.

There's no telling. But at least the source doesn't pretend that Mycenean Greeks and Minoans are 100% the same.

Facing Gades DOES NOT 'make' it Gades. And at the alleged timeframe of Plato's Atlantis the entirety of the area around Gades would have been part of the mainland.  Therefore NO ISLAND.

Below is a new article dealing with the "Griffin Warrior" recovery. From a cultural perspective, the burial suggests a more complex Minoan/Mycenaean interaction than previously understood. Enjoy!

A personal aside: As one who has lithic technology as one of his research (and publication) foci, the sophistication of the various seal craftings is truly impressive, particularly when rendered from such materials as agate. The seals and rings again put the lie to those that do not wish to acknowledge the skills and talents of past cultures.
