>11,750 (Time since Younger-Dryas event)Plato describes the mythological account of how Atlantis itself was formed:
>On the side toward the sea, and in the center of the whole island, there was a plain which is said to have been the fairest of all plains, and very fertile. Near the plain again, and also in the center of the island, at a distance of about fifty stadia (one stadia=606 feet), there was a mountain, not very high on any side.In this passage we can see that the story is being relayed using units of measurement that were familiar to the greeks. Stadion differed between Greece and Egypt where in Greece a stadion equaled roughly 185 meters while in Egypt the stadion was about 157.5 meters. The Attic calendar (used by the Greeks at this time) consisted of twelve months and twenty-nine to thirty days, much like the calendar now.
>In this mountain there dwelt one of the earth-born primeval men of that country, whose name was Evenor, and he had a wife named Leucippe, and they had an only daughter, who was named Cleito. The maiden was growing up to womanhood when her father and mother died.>Poseidon fell in love with her, and had intercourse with her; and, breaking the ground, enclosed the hill in which she dwelt all round, making alternate zones of sea and land, larger and smaller, encircling one another; there were two of land and three of water, which he turned as with a lathe out of the center of the island, equidistant every way, so that no man could get to the island, for ships and voyages were not yet heard of.He's describing the physical dimensions of what remains of the bedrock of the Richat structure. We can assume it had a lot more topsoil and hills/topography prior to the last cataclysm.
He's not describing people who came "from the Atlantic". The "Atlantic" was named after them because their lands bordered onto that sea.
