I know all videos are funny:) but if you study there was a report that hit Lisbon Portugal in ancient times way before 1755 . A huge wave crashed into the New York City region 2,300 years ago, dumping sediment and shells across Long Island and New Jersey and casting wood debris far up the Hudson River http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8028949.stm Edited January 23, 2019 by docyabut2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before 1755? Well, that’s just a little nebulous. You might as well called Doggerland Atlantis based on the “evidence” you’ve displayed thus far.

And except for the annoying fact that Athens didn't exist at the time of the supposed war with Atlantis, it's a rollicking great yarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted January 23, 2019 #1497 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The war with Athens is an important, fundamental part of Plato's narrative. Therefore, any candidate for Atlantis must be shown to have have invaded and defeated Egypt before attacking Athens and then being defeated themselves An event which would, of course, be remembered both by Egypt and Athens, had it ever happened. So ....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ....... Not necessarily. The Atlantians could have sailed straight through the Straits of Gibralter and attacked Athens from the sea. No landing in Egypt would have been necessary. Of course, seeing as how they didn't exist ANYWAY, this is all hypothetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Timaeus: http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/timaeus.html The Prophesy of Neferty contains a translation for Libya (as ancient Egyptians would have used the term). See item 14 in the following link. It also talks about Libya and Asia, as a single concept. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-static/digitalegypt/literature/nefertytransl.html Edited January 23, 2019 by atalante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
