In his epic Odyssey, Homer refers to this Atlas as "one who knows the depths of the whole sea, and keeps the tall pillars who hold heaven and earth asunder".

Stargate is a movie and a TV show not evidence. There is no evidence we ever came from Mars, or were engineered by aliens. We seem to be 100% terrestial whether we like it or not. We evolved from the earthly animals against the fundamentalists best wishes

And yes, we do know a lot about our origins. Biology shows that we are terrestial creatures! The fact that our DNA uses the same building blocks as every other creature on Earth shows that we are terrestrial creatures! Everything about our bodies all the way down to the cellular level shows an affinity to Earth. We "grew up" here, it's to bad that is not good enough for some people but there is no denying it.
Although Mars has no intrinsic magnetic field, observations show that parts of the planet's crust have been magnetized.
Mars lost its magnetosphere 4 billion years ago
It has been estimated that the human lineage diverged from that of chimpanzees about five million years ago, and from gorillas about eight million years ago
Originally posted by whargoulHere's what I want to know. What other cities were around at the same time? Could there really have been an Athens for the Atlantians to fight? From what I understand Atlantis was distroyed around 9000BCE right? Isn't that pretty much the dawn of civilization as we know it?
Athens began its history as a Neolithic hill-fort on top of the Acropolis ("high city"), some time in the third millennium BC.
The initial name of Athens was Akte or Aktike, named after the first king, Akteos. Her second name, Kekropia, received it from the king, Kekrops, who succeeded Akteos, by marrying his daughter. According to the legend, his lower body was that of a dragon.
Athena and Poseidon were competing for the protection of the city and each one offered presents

Critias was a very dark person in Athenian history. After the fall of Athens to the Spartans he blacklisted many of its citizens as a leading member of the Thirty Tyrants. Most of his prisoners were executed and their wealth was confiscated. He proved to be a tormented personality with many complexes and much hatred.
Edmund Halley in 1692 (Philosophical Transactions of Royal Society of London) put forth the idea of Earth consisting of a hollow shell about 500 miles (800 km) thick, two inner concentric shells and an innermost core, about the diameters of the planets Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Atmospheres separate these shells, and each shell has its own magnetic poles. The spheres rotate at different speeds. Halley proposed this scheme in order to explain anomalous compass readings. He envisaged the atmosphere inside as luminous (and possibly inhabited) and speculated that escaping gas caused the Aurora Borealis.
Ultima Thule in medieval geographies may also denote any distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world." Some people use Ultima Thule as the Latin name for Greenland when Thule is used for Iceland.
The main gate is called Valgrind, which is described in Grímnismál as a "sacred gate", behind which are the "holy doors" and "there are few who can tell the manner by which it is locked".
And while in other countries the periodical destruction caused irreparable losses, in Egypt it was possible to keep records of very ancient times

but apart from that your theory is solid
This alphabet is similar to ancient writing found in other locations around the globe and the author suggests that this is the result of a cultural migration. The Colorado site, located near La Junta, has been dated to before 800 BC. In the Negev desert of Israel, the same alphabet has been meticulously dated to 1500 BC. In South Australia a similar alphabet is estimated to be over 5000 years old. Other evidence has been discovered in Oklahoma, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and in Western Asia
