Atlantis is more than a myth. Whichever theory you may esconce, there appears to be a path of archaelogical verification originating from one source. Everyone is familiar with the Egyptian pyramids, and most others likely are familiar with those discovered relating to the Olmec and Mayan civilization. However, the existence of other less notorious pyramids have been discovered worldwide. These all have a common theme and engineering design. The pyramids of China, North America, and Europe all were constructed under a shroud of mystery. There seems to be a consistent time frame when these structures were originally constructed. The survivors of Atlantis, perhaps the nephilum referred to Biblically, may well be the originators of this unique design. I am interested in hearing from others whether this theory has any credence.

What about the tower of Babel, is it possible that this is where the commonwealth of knowledge came from? When mean spread becuase his language was confused they still associated with those they could understand and picked land to settle on. Most believe that Babel was a great Ziggurat when everyone was seperated they still knew how to build and maybe thats the common link. As far as Atlantis being in connection with the Nephilium or men of renown that is entirely possible.

'kay... I don't know where you heard story, but that one's new to me
Why would god be jealous of his own creation, the ones that also still see him as their own god?

Just in terms of ziggurats, I remember reading something on the Babylonians and Ancient Persia about ziggurats basically being man-made mountains. The gods dwelt in the heavens and mountains were the closest things to the heavens, so I guess it made sense to be as close to the gods as possible when praying.

I think I've also heard similar reasons in relation to the worship of the sun.
