An Atlantic Ocean-Based Atlantis

Hi Blue Hue
I've been trying to do some studying since we last chatted because I didn't understand your theory very well.

I need to ask you a couple of questions ok?

When Plato says that Atlantis was between Libya and Asia, is Egypt included as being Libya? When Solon and the priest were talking, Egypt was called Egypt wasn't it? Why wouldn't the priest then just say that Atlantis was between EGYPT and Asia, instead of using the word Libya? Why wouldn't he just say something like "Atlantis was East of here, but before Asia?

ABOUT . . HERACLES he visited " Atlantis " during a mission for Eurystheus, to drive Geryon's white SUN-BULL Cattle of HELIOS, from The Garden of Hesperis(= synonymous with Atlantis.)to Greece by way of Spain. This ' Myth ' would seem to rule -out the AZORES as a possible Atlantis-Location.

At first HERACLES could not Find it , at his 10-th Labour, he bought these SUN-Bulls(= actually white Elephants.)at too low a price it was a STEAL, and Geryon wanted them back , but Heracles was too slow in moving with a large herd, and did not want to return them.

In order to hinder GERYON to recuperate the Herd Heracles bashed his WAR-Club on the rocky ground to create a chasm between him and GERYON at GADARA, when he bashed the ground he caused an Earth-Quake that split open an ancient Land-Bridge inbetween AFRIKA(- Lybia !!) and EUROPE, at the connection between SPAIN & Marocco/Mauretania.

This MYTH would also rule out Aden as Atlantis. Heracles visits Atlantis (the garden of Hesperis = synonomous with Atlantis) to steal some cattle or whatever. You say they're elephants, but the French have white cattle - the Charolais. And he's going from Atlantis, to Spain and then to Greece - is that right? But he has trouble in France or something, takes a wrong turn and ends up in Italy. If Atlantis was 3000 or more miles East, in the Gulf of Aden, he was certainly taking a long round-about-way of driving these cattle to Greece.
