@davidleomorley889 That is one of the possibilities about Plato's account of Atlantis.That he wrote it as a Socratic Dialogue after his Mentor Socrates was sentenced to Death by Poisoning by the Athenian State as a criticism of the Hubris of Nations . Aristotle believed that it was a completely fictional account. Herodotus has a refference to the Atlantes in Mt Atlas in North Africa which Chronologically and Paleoclimatically can fit with the Egyptian Green Sahara period and hence the Richat structure.This also can fit in with the Egyptian Myth of The Island of Creation as recorded in the Ptolemaic era Edfu Temple wall inscriptions. Carlson supports the literal interpretation of Platos description which fits the Mid-Atlantic Ridge location and there are archaeological anomalies in some of the Azores islands above sea level indicating a much more ancient Human presence before my nations explorers arrived there. Personally I think that it was a allegory created by Plato using the catastrophes in the Mediterranean region - the Santorini eruption destroying the Minoan centre followed by the Sea peoples invasion at the end of the Bronze Age Civilisational collapse combined with other events like the destruction of Helike by a Tsunami. Spyridon Marinatos was the main proponent of this concept - he was a full fledged Greek Archaeologist. Fortunately that other legend about a Bronze Age city called Troy will remain just a fantasy because no serious archaeologist will ever try searching for something that doesnt exist.We all know that Homers Iliad is a complete fantasy story. I just laugh at that imbecile Heinrich Schliemann a failed Businessman that is searching for the imaginary city in Turkey. Welcome to Post-Modernism and De-centralisation. Learn to escape Your rigid " Scientism" Cult by Lightening up a bit. Good Luck.
