I wasn't discussing philosophy. I was discussing evidence.

It's a tale named after the city ruled over by King Atlas, mortal son of Poseidon and Asia (or Clymene).

Why would Plato, a philosopher concerned about the fate of contemporary Athens, have been interested in Aahotep?

What context, and what framework, match what?

Although myths can include factual references, it's a mistake to treat them as another form of history. Exercises such as "mythical timeline reconstructions" miss the point.

You've found another source pre-dating Plato that describes the city of Atlantis?

Pharos, according to your website ... of which HAROS2006.jpg" rel="nofollow">this is a reconstruction. Doesn't look all that much like Atlantis to me ...

Besides, what leads you to believe that Plato was not capable of inventing and describing the details of an imaginary place?

I presume you mean Aahotep ...

If the mythological timeline you've constructed has no relevance to our discussion, however, there seems little point.

Actually, it's not up to anyone here to do anything at all; besides, I'm growing tired of asking questions and not receiving proper answers. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof: and it is up to you to provide supporting evidence for your ideas. What many people with a new theory might want to do, of course, is to write a paper and submit it to a peer-reviewed journal.
