ATLANTIS IS NOT A LEGEND
…
One of the greatest mysteries of archaeology has been revealed. Now we know where the geographical place is that the philosopher Plato called “Atlantis”. From a geographical point of view it is located in North Africa. In fact, the images of a satellite have revealed how over 10,000 years ago a “gigantic island” was formed at that point. Subsequently, due to climate change and the drying up of the Sahara, the waters around the island dried up, and this became one with what we now define as the “Sahara Desert”. That is exactly the point called by Plato with the name of “Island of Atlantis”.
…
The article in the journal “Nature”, dated 10 November 2015, entitled “African wet periods have triggered the reactivation of a large river system in the Western Sahara”, signed by C. Skonieczny et al. speaks of “a large river system in the Western Sahara, which draws its sources from the Hoggar and southern Atlas plateaus in Algeria”. This valley of the Tamanrasset River has been described as a possible large and ancient river system”. The article goes into detail from a geological point of view. In summary, we can say that PALSAR discovered a gigantic river, now dried up, which originated in the Atlas Mountains and crossed the whole of north-western Africa, flowing into present-day Mauritania (you will find attached a photo of this river, as drawn up by the researchers).
…
The “river valley” of the Tamanrasset is about 90 km wide. The mouth of this river, today situated under the sea, was 400 km wide (!!!) It was a “monster” comparable to the Amazon River, so big that in many places it is impossible to distinguish it from the sea. This means that the Tamanrasset River could reach a similar width from one ocean to the other. We can imagine an observer at ground level: how could he know that it is a river, or a sea, if the opposite coast is 90 km away? Apart from the salinity of the water, nothing (but we don’t know if the ancient people would have understood this difference).
…
When the Tamanrasett River was flowing, during the LAST AFRICAN WET PERIOD (between about 14,500 and 7,000 years ago, with traces dating back to 5,500 years ago), except for a small part in the north-east, the “Land of the Atlas”, or “Atlantis”, or the territories south of Mount Atlas, was in fact an island. To the north, it was surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, it was surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, it was surrounded by the Tamanrasset River. To the east, it was almost entirely surrounded by the same river, except for a small piece formed by the Atlas Mountains. Can we really call this land an “island”? In the Greek sense, the answer is “YES”.
…
We all know what the Peloponnese is, one of the most important regions of Greece. Well, the Peloponnese has exactly the same geographical conformation as the “Land of the Atlas”. It is a “quasi-island”, connected to the mainland by a small “isthmus”. What does the term “Peloponnese” mean? The word comes from the Greek Πέλοπος νῆσος (Pelopos Nesos), which means “island of the Peloponnese”. This is compelling evidence that for the ancient Greeks, a ‘quasi-island’ such as the Peloponnese could be considered a νῆσος, or ‘island’. It is not surprising, therefore, that Solon, and after him Plato, called the “almost-island” of Mount Atlas, or Atlantis, by νῆσος, or NESOS, a term which we translate as island in the modern sense of the word.
…
So, the “mysterious Egyptian priests” were not lying to Solon, and therefore to Plato, when they told him that at the foot of Mount Atlas some 11,500 years ago there was “a great island”. But this raises other important questions: how did they know this, which civilisation was aware of the events that took place between 14,500 and 7,000 years ago, did this part of Africa ever sink, and what is the relationship between ‘Atlantis’ and Nan Madol and the ‘sunken continent’ of Sundaland and Sahuland, recently discovered by researchers? And, above all, where did the inhabitants of these regions go?

- Terence BabbageI am interested in how stories, such as that of Atlantis, attract such firm opinions. I have had a passing interest in the topic for over half a century, and, for the life of me, I don’t know how we can firmly state that Atlantis did or didn’t exist, w…See more

Raúl FernándezSome archeologists who believe in Atlantis just won’t accept the premise that Atlantis fell into the ocean. I wonder why?1

Martin RybářI find this theory as the most probable. There is my hamble contribution to this subject. Small geological formation Semsyyiat nearby Eye of Sahara can be a clue. https://www.facebook.com/groups/253550249143357/posts/678652489966462/2

Dave KuzeeMartha Nefer Mirkens It certainly is not just an allegory but this location does not seem probable. The existence of a world navigating civilization before the end of the ice-age is highly probable and the most parsimonious explanation for al anomalies in the world.1
