'MYSTERY QUEST'- Drs. Greg & Lora Little's Series On History Channel

ABOUT ' ATLANTIS ' in - american - waters : or  CUBA,


"Europeans" usually refer any Islands around America's mainland as " American " too even when they were former Spanish or brittish colonies as Cuba or the Bahama's.


Therefore England refused specifically to be counted as" European" and whishes to be distinct from the European mainland 


(it is a cartographic" Custom" to consider the shore behind islands as belonging to that island when the Waterfront is settled the Island is named after the waterfront/ continent


The off -shore isles tend to be counted as belonging to a mainland
( like the " Falklands to Argentine " arguement!
Which resulted in the Falklands - propaganda - war.)


Thus although Atlantis was an Ocean Island in general the nearest SHORE _ LINE or Sea-Coast/ Waterfront or Continent(-s)would be named " Atlantis " too unless afterwards the Continental names changed but the ( Isolated-) Island retained it's name.


In the COLUMBUS seached Atlantis - in America - Concept
CUBA would have been Atlantis Capital Isle,


BUT since Atlantis originally was named: ATHE   and NOT " Atlantis "
The Isle of HAITI ( an anagram of :" ATHE " ) would be nearere the mark than " CUBA "
