Well hear you go Harte three connections based on Egypt to Atlantis. I hope you have your fork and knife; get ready to eat some words.
This is one of the first times Atlantis is ever mentioned, and wouldn't you know it says the first story ever told was originally voiced in Egypt.
In Plato's book, Timaeus, a character named Kritias tells an account of Atlantis that has been in his family for generations. According to the character, the story was originally told to his ancestor, Solon, by a priest during Solon's visit to Egypt.

Here is yet another reference...
It is not an easy question to resolve. Scientists naturally look askance at psychic information – if, that is, they are even aware of it. So, the authors observe, the readings were not used to guide archaeologic explorations over past decades. Consider, too: Turn back the clock beyond 4,000 B.C. and most scholars, especially those in Cayce’s day, believe it was a time of primitive cultures. The readings, however, give accounts of Atlanteans, described as a technologically advanced people, having migrated to Egypt – and other locales – over 12,000 years ago. Also, “the readings mention [human] ancestors as far back as 10 million years ago, and high civilizations 200,000 years ago.” Remains unearthed in recent years and carbon dated are adding more credence to the psychic revelations.

Now Harte since I know you didn't bother to go to google and do the smart thing and look for something connecting the two before you bashed my post; I'm awaiting your apology. Otherwise I'm awaiting the same ignorant answers.
You have got to be kidding, right?
You think I haven't read Plato?
Look, here's what you claimed, in your own words:
Now I understand the Sahara could be the place where they were located due to the fact of Egytian scripts that mention an atlantian empire.
So now, for your so-called "Egyptian scripts," you offer a piece of Classical Greek literature, a dream sequence from a sleeping conman, and a website with some modern dude's opinion?
Apologize for what, showing how casually and carelessly you opt to post a lie?
I don't think so.
Now, kindly come up with your claimed "Egyptian scripts that mention an atlantian empire" and maybe you'll have something valid to whine about.
Otherwise, accept that you've been shown to be, at the very best, a person willing to completely mischaracterize what facts there are that are known about the ancient world in order to advance some internalized agenda you have for wanting to "belong" among ignoramuses that ignore what they choose in order to believe what they want, i.e. "Atlantologists."
