    • Centineo

    • Freud

    • Plato

In his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias," Plato describes Atlantis as a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time.

    • Cadiz

    • Tartessos

    • Huelva

    Correct Answer

He described Atlantis as being larger than Asia and Libya combined, and it was said to be located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," which many believe to be the Strait of Gibraltar. While there is no concrete evidence of Atlantis' existence, many theories suggest that Plato may have drawn inspiration from ancient civilizations like Tartessos to create his myth.

    Which of these Egyptian records is not used for Atlantis location searching? - ProProfs

    Which of these Egyptian records is not used for Atlantis location searching?

    • Invasion of Sicily

    • Thera eruption

    • Sea peoples invasion

    • Trojan war
