I have explicitly made this suggestion in the past. Additionally, the Destruction of Mankind Myth, aka Celestial Cow of Heaven, mentions Greeks.

I am well aware that there is a lot of complex symbology and mythology found in the tale that seems to date back to the Pyramid Texts, from a much earlier time. From Katherine's previous topic on Neith, she connects Mehetweret with a great flood at a much earlier time.
Quote
Neith: "She is also called such cosmic epithets as the "Cow of Heaven," a sky-goddess similar to Nut and as the Great Flood, Mehetweret (MHt wr.t), who gives birth to the sun daily [3]."
Avoiding the topic of Atlantis... I would love to here some thoughts or analysis on this myth.

Note1: This is an incomplete line of research for me, and so it is not mentioned on my website. [

Note2: Hypothetically, if I could connect Myrine from Cerne to MeryNei(t) from Qurneh(Thebes), then it may be possible to re-combine the Diodorus Siculus tradition with Plato. (final t was not pronounced sometimes, right Katherine?) (also incomplete)
Note3: Although I have linked my website, this is not the topic to discuss my theory/hypothesis on Atlantis (PM me if interested). I'd rather focus on the Tut/Seti myth - Celestial Cow of Heaven.
