you can't pick and choose which facts to use in your pet theory with religious texts any more than you can when choosing which details to use from Platos dialogues
thats cheating
(Catlandis not Atlandis)
and much later a greek philosopher immortalised it but spelt it wrong
its name was Catlantis

I know you disagree with the thrust of the post you replied to, Marduk, but don't bluster at it and scoff at it: rather examine it and interact with it. Doing that gives you credibility. Attacking the post because of its poster does not.

Prote you made that post up off the top of your head right

My theory...
At one time Africa (Morocco) and Europe (Spain) were connected. I propose that the most likely place is the bed of the Mediterranean. The link between Africa and Europe that were holding the Atlantic Ocean back was either naturally or purposefully eroded and was written into the Bible as the great flood as the ensuing Ocean filled what is now the Med Sea. The builders of Atlantis had already destroyed it, the ensuing flood took away the rubble (if any) and covered it up.

actually that gif shows the break up of gondwanaland to the present which took 500 million years
Prote was talking about something which happened (according to plato) 11,500 years ago
so no cigar for you Dragonlike
My point is that, perhaps, Plato indeed speaks about a continent thrived the age of thousands or millions years ago his time...
from Timaeus by Plato
Solon marvelled at his words, and earnestly requested the priests to inform him exactly and in order about these former citizens. You are welcome to hear about them, Solon, said the priest, both for your own sake and for that of your city, and above all, for the sake of the goddess who is the common patron and parent and educator of both our cities. She founded your city a thousand years before ours, receiving from the Earth and Hephaestus the seed of your race, and afterwards she founded ours, of which the constitution is recorded in our sacred registers to be eight thousand years old. As touching your citizens of nine thousand years ago
from Critias by Plato
Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them

what a load of crap
so in that case
the priest could have made it all up for a laugh and Atlantis doesn't exist
it never existed
and your attempt at redaction is a huge waste of everybodies time
what you are doing is questioning something that is written
therefore you no longer have any position to claim that some of what was written was true and other parts were not
