What makes you think that this place is Atlantis?

What makes you think that this place is Atlantis?

It used to be a inland lake before the place became a marshland approximately 0 A.D

Also, Plato said Atlantis is "beyond the pillars of hercules" which is what the greeks called gibraltor.

There is nothing else that can be Atlantis. Canary islanders were never advanced, and morrocans weren't either. It had to be in Iberia somewhere.

Atlantis didn't exist.

Atlantis was the central city of the island of Thera in the Cyclades which was located directly under a volcano. It was completely destroyed when the volcano blew up in 1628 BC and all that remains is a map depicting the city which was found in the city of Akrotiri on the 1/5 of Thera which was not comply annihilated.

The story of the war between Atlantis and the Athenians is EXACTLY the same story as that of the battle between the Gods and the Giants and is copied in the bible by the story of the Nephalim (Nephele who apprears in Greek Mythology in 1650 BC derives from the Greek Nepheloi meaning, cloud people, presumably the Olympian Gods) and the Giants / Sons of Adam Daughters of Eve and Noah's Flood which is a copy of the Deukalion Flood story even down to the Generation of Hellene.

As for Atlantis fonder Atlas, that might have been Wankare (Acthoes III) the son of Neferkare IV who ruled Egypt in 2100 BC which is exactly the time that the Achaeans invaded Greece from the north. Then term Wa-na-ka is the Mycenaean Greek for High King and the names Atlas and Acthoes are so close that the must be equivalent. Neferkare is also another possible root for the Greek work Nephalim (people of Neferkare) which was borrowed by the blible.

The Pillars of Herakles were the pillars set up by Seti to mark the edges of Asia-Minor which were statures of himself. Therefore Greece was past the pillars.

The story is real. It was written by Solon based on Egyptian records.

And how about the map of Atlantis that was found in Akrotiri dating to 1700 BC !

Plato quotes Solon quoting the Egyptian records confirming that the names of the kings of Athens including Erichtonius and Cecrops were known to them. He also says that Atlantis existed before the time of Phoroneus the first man, therefore the events cannot date any later than 1600 BC since they would overlap with the reigns of the known kings of Greece whose histories do not mention any Atlantis.

Further more the events cannot have occurred any earlier than 2200 BC since before this date Athens was not occupied by the Achaeans.

Thus the Atlantis legend must have occurred between 2200 BC and 1600 BC.

Plato says that there were many generations between Atlas and the final battle so it can be assumed that at least 5 generations must have lived and died and probably more than that which reduces the upper limit to 2175 BC.

The fact that Thera exploded in 1628 BC makes it pretty certain that this was the catastrophic event which destroyed Atlantis so this must be when the final battle occurred.

If the source is Solon, who heard the legend from the priests of Neith in Egypt's Delta, then that would certainly argue for Atlantis being connected to the explosion of Thera. Previously, there had been a culture there similar to that on Crete, which is 70 miles to the south. Of course, the inhabitants of Crete were affected by the cataclysm, as well. Tacitus claimed that people from Crete found it necessary to sail to North Africa as a result of a certain disaster.

As I have said there is plenty of data to subsantiate Plato. There is the There volcano. There is evidence of a massive earthquake and tidal wave. There is evidence of a sunken city surrounded by moats including a map.

Platos shifting of its location to the Atlantic was probably due to the fact that Solon realised that the entire Atlantis story coincided exactly with the period of the Gods and the Titans and Herodotus probably realised it as well since he knew that the Egyptian Greeks (Hyksos) were the one who had brought the religion of the Olympian Gods to Greece in 1450 BC and probably had direct access to the Hieroglyphic texts used by Solon which he based that conclusion on after realising that the stories were exactly the same.

lol wtf are you talking about ? moroccans in ancient times were probably as advanced as iberians if not more what makes you think the opposite ?

Atlantis never existed but by following the testimonial of Plato it was in Morocco :



also Herodotus called the people from NW africa : "atlantes" (because of the atlas mountains):

Still, we don't have any archeological proofs of that. To me it looks more like a pseudo-historical argumentation than anything else, without being offensive.

Between 1800 and 1650 the Achaeans conqured the Ionians also known as Equatai in Mycenaean Greek or Ekwash in Hittite and forced them out of Europe. They fled to Egypt and were known there as the Hyksos.

The Achaeans were stronger than the Equatai, but the Equatai were stronger than the Egyptians. They had Chariot Warfare and trained Horses. The Egyptians did not.

The Cadmeans were the Proto-Ionians who returned to Greece from Phoenicia by land (Palastia) in about 1400 BC. The story of the abduction of Io her captivity in Libya and Egypt and the return of Europe and Cadmus is documented by the Greeks. Around 1450 B.C Danus and Aegyptus return to Greece and Argos.

The Achaeans were the forefathers of the Mycenaean's who defeated the Proto-Ionians or Equatai in 1700BC.

Atlas was the leader of the Titans therefore he equates with being the leader of the Elohim.

All of this stuff about Sons of God and Daughters of Eve bearing a race of Giants or Nephalim is exactly the same account as the Giants who were born to Gia to avenge the Titians. The Giants were destroyed by the Gods at the same time as Typhon. Gigas or giant means earth born/indigenous in Greek.

The Titans who Zeus expelled from Greece and the Atlantis who were expelled by the Athenians form Europe begun a Dynasty in Syria-Palestine in 1600 BC.

The Hyksos of Egyptian history also known in later time as the Ekwesh were the Greek Gods themselves. The name of the Gods were brought to Greece by the Cadmeans.

Ekwesh (Egyptian name for the Achaeans) = Eyakiwash = Ayahiwash = Ayahaewah
(Biblical YHWH) = Ahhiyawa (Hittite name for the Achaeans) = Achaean-ous =
Ochean-ous = Sea Peoples

Peleset = Philistines = Pelasgians = Thallasians = Sea Peoples

Thus the name of the bible God is actually a word for the Achaean Greek Sea Peoples. This is why the Canaanite god Yah is a god of the Sea.

There is a map and even wall paintings of the palace walls at Akrotiri in Thera confirming Plato's description.
