Atlantis is only fiction! What about the mythical kingdom of Tartesos, supposedly to be buried somewhere bellow Spain? I remember reading that Tartesos is mentioned somewhere in the Bible as well, but I cannot back any of this up (Maybe I dreamt it?) |

It had a wealthy merchant economy and was destroyed by Carthage because it was in competition. |

Atlantis comes from the Greeks via the Eygptians.
The Irish are not Atlanteans that absurd.Perhaps some colonies where on Ireland,and just maybe the early Druids are remnants of the Atlantean peoples.
According to Irish lore their was many migrations of people before the so-called celts arrived. Many of these Invaders where Greek,Scythians, and Phoenicians an even of some blend of each.
List :
Fintans:Unknown came from the east,Asia.
Partholonian's-Greece/greeks
Nemedian's-Greco-Scythians
Fomorians-North Africans
Fir-Bolgs-origin either from Greece or Sicily
tuatha de danann-Beleived to be from Norway.
Milesians-Phoenicians
The Phoenicians actually had their own legend type of Atlantis called Antillia the Isle of Seven Cities, was an island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean far to the west of Spain.

Milesians-Phoenicians The Phoenicians actually had their own legend type of Atlantis called Antillia the Isle of Seven Cities, was an island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean far to the west of Spain. I'm aware that there are many legendary invasions of Ireland, most of this information comes from the "Book of Invasions" and the "Annals of the Four Masters" - a direct ancestor of mine was one of the four masters! I think your list of Invaders is not correct however, and refer you to the following: www.rootsweb.com/~irlkik/ihm/index.htmhome.att.net/~genfiles/IreBirth/ire_his1.htmI also understand that we are dealing with legends, but so was Schliemann when he followed Homer and discovered Troy, likewise with the Jewish archaeologists who discovered Masada from reading Josephus. What I'm saying is that often there is a historical basis to enduring myths and legends. Solon the Egyptian is supposed to have placesd Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar), or somewhere on the Atlantic seaboard. So far Tartessos in South Eastern Spain - near modern Cadiz - is the only other plausible alternative. The Druids were very similar to the Fakirs of India, and represent a very old Indo-European or pre-Zoroasterian shamanism - whose roots died out earlier in other parts of Europe. The second post referred to the events that happened after the Last Glacial Maximum, when Western Europe was re-populated from a number of refugia - what the author is suggesting is a colonization from Ireland to France, Britain and Scandanavia - in other words he is postulating another refugia, or at least an intermediate jumping off point from Ireland to these areas. |

The site of Masada was identified in 1842, so I doubt 'Jewish archaeologists' were responsible.
