Can we add a mention under location hypothesis of Kodiak Island as discussed in the following book: https://archive.org/details/atlantis-and-its-fate-in-the-postdiluvian-world Reasons: 1) Similarities between the Kircher Map of Atlantis and Kodiak Island during the Younger Dryas, and that Kodiak at that time fits many of Plato's dimensions. 2) Similarities between the "Aeletean" kings of Ancient Egypt, thought to have come from a faraway land, and the modern word "Aleutian". Other historians also imply there was a colony from India and the Far East south of Egypt in antiquity near "Punt" where the Ancient Egyptians believed their gods, the same ones aligned with the Aeletean kings, came from. 3) Sonar imaging of an underwater site southeast of Chirikof Island might imply a sunken human face monument and ruins that would put the pyramids at Giza to shame. 4) Genetic evidence of the X2 haplogroup in the Bayahira Oasis region of Egypt suggests a link to Native North Americans, suggesting Beringia as a possible origin point for Atlantis. The Berbers of North Africa also share a relative with the Sami circa 7,000 BCE, who would have been in Northern Siberia at the time. 47.32.37.155 ( talk) 14:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Plato never wrote a single piece of fiction and there is 0 evidence to support this claim. Its pure speculation, you should be clear about the controversy instead of starting with "its fiction". Even if you feel strongly, its wrong to do that. 72.48.43.29 ( talk) 22:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Plato through Critias and Dropides states the story comes from Solon from an Egyptian Saite source. This was the capital of Egypt in the 26th Dynasty, 664-525 BCE a Lybian dynasty descendent from Bakenranef (Greek Bocchoris). Solon lived c. 630 – c. 560 BCE, at exactly this period, and travelled for 10 years starting with Egypt during the reign of Amasis II or Ahmose II.
Looking at this from an Egyptian point of view, suggests that the Hieroglyphic hieratic could easily confuse a hundred with a thousand. Thus rather than 9,000 years earlier it would be 900 years earlier, a Late Bronze Age point of view, which more accurately fits the description of the times. 1460 was the date for the Battle of Megiddo, when Thutmose III defeated the Canaanites, who, as Hyksos, had earlier ruled Egypt.
The Egyptians did not know the Mediterranean was landlocked. It was called "the Great Green" and there was it was believed, a chain of islands (Cyptus, Crete, the Peloponesse, Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, stretched between Asia and Africa. The discovery of another continent beyond the sea (A-thalassa) could have been the land of Atlas (Atlantis). From 1174, an invasion of the people of the islands trying to invade Egypt and Athens, could have been the origin of the Atlantis story John Dudley Croft ( talk) 06:21, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Why is this page protected? Just curious. I feel it's wrong to state that it's not real when there's no proof either way.
