America was known as Atlantis before columbus "discovered" it

Fortunately I didn't read the first one but I couldn't even finish Cygnus - however the worse was probably the "Cydonia Codex" by George Haas, god awful trash.

You may be mistaking some of the Roman writers who mentioned Atlantis, for Greek some of these Roman's wrote in Greek.

Sure it does. That's the first source of the story and the only ancient source for the story.

It might be close, but was Plato around in 9500BC? Didn't he claim that a small species of stegodont lived on the island,

Nope. Large, voracious elephants but nothing about small ones. And the land was larger than "Lybia and Asia".
