The Timaeus is very clear in saying that Atlantis was placed in the Atlantic Ocean, and also from there it was possible to arrive to the continent on the "opposite side". North Africa could be part of their empire, but not the center.

Also the philosopher Proclus told briefly about Atlantis, saying that it reigned over all the islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

it says it is at that edge and that everything from the great city is reached by canals, just as is true of the location of the concentric circles of the Richat structure

the thing about reaching it from the opposite side had to do with the massive river system... now, what was the name of it... it's described in The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya - Tamrasset it was called, and it was a massive river like the size of the Amazon, and yes it joins up with the Nile near where it empties into the mediterranean/agean

there was also a massive river that went in the opposite direction from the Atlas Mountains also

if you are interested to learn more and see a metric ton of references to other literature, The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya is amazing

I'm currently reading The Book of Jubilees, which is a full history of 49 year periods between the time of Adam and Moses, and already it is very interesting to me - it says that Adam and Eve spent 7 years in the Garden of Eden and they were being taught how to farm, as they were required to "till the ground" - you can read it for yourself, that is another book that i was referred to by Apocalypse and it's very much consistent with what it says in there about how Adam was actually a guest of the king "God" who had chosen to teach the people of the region between the mediterranean and red sea how to farm, and was the beginning of agriculture after he was kicked out after his woman stole fruit from a tree that was said to be the exclusive property of the king

Critias clearly says that they were seafarers in general and had massive canals everywhere, and a very strong military

as for the atlantic islands, yes, there is even remnants of pyramids on Tenerife and several others, probably there is traces left here on Madeira and also the Azores

I don't know, this Richat hypotesis doesn't really convince me...

But I will read the Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya as you advice.

On the subject of Eden, there is a very interesting book called "Eden" by Anton Parks where the writer reports the translation of some sumerian tablets that tell an alternative story of the biblical Eden. In this story, the god Enki (who is sometimes represented as a snake or half snake) teaches men secret knowledge and especially metallurgy and how to make weapons. With this new knowledge, men try to attack the other gods and take the Eden, but are defeated and banished.

The same author wrote also another book called "The last march of the gods", that recount parts of the texts taken from the temple of Horus at Edfu. Among other things, these texts talk about a group of mythical islands which were placed in the west, and where ancient gods once lived, and were hit by a flood.

yes! there is many stories and they all fit in somewhere, some are lies or distortions though

the book of jubilees is so far proving to be interesting in that it supports the Yajnavalkya's hypothesis that Adam and Eve were invited to train - for 7 years! as gardeners to take their skills back to the middle east and start agriculture

keep in mind that prior to that, obviously they were hunter-gatherers (and also, i think that they didn't live in a desert and that agriculture had nothing to do with it becoming a desert, later on)

there is a lot of data, and i'm sure that gathering it up and letting the old grey fatty tissue process it will sift through and show you the patterns, so i'm dead certain you will enjoy the inputs from Apocalypse
