Not only that, but it has concentric circles which you can search up bathymetric images of with a simple image search, it is shallow enough to have been a sea of mud at the time in the story, proven causes of cataclysm not only at the ancient date, but also recently enough to have reinvigorated the myth. The city centre is visibly more sunken than the outer rings.
We know for a fact that the rocklayers beneath the silt at this place is black, white and reddish, and even have a modern island nearby with examples of these colors out in the open air.
Iron, amber and salt would be easily obtainable at this site, likely being the cause of the city's location and capital status in the first place.
Archeological finds near the site contains concentric circle imagery and megaliths associated with the age of the most recent cataclysm to affect the site do point directly at it.
Hebrew can provably be linked with the native language still inhabiting this region, which I won't name yet for the suspense.
Popculture has been getting it more or less correctly for a hundred years, but it has been dumbed down for political reasons in fear of nationalism and racism blossoming because of it. (it's just a story of a proto-ironage city that got destroyed, so basing nationalistic propaganda on it would be retarded anyway, scifi space laser atlantis is a fairy tale for manchildren. they did astronomy, watermanagement and the very basics of iron smelting and sailing at the end. iron is actually a lower-tech than bronze because you don't need to know about alloys.)
Archeologists, geologists and historians all agree that this site was dry, iceless land up until fairly recently compared to the original cataclysm of the younger dryas, of which we have both waterlevel and iridium-platinum debris fields proving the area that the calaclysm took place over.
