Actually Paulo, for anyone who knows even a little about the history of the countries around the Med., this sentence in the Timaeus would be your first clue:

As touching your citizens of nine thousand years ago, I will briefly inform you of their laws and of their most famous action; the exact particulars of the whole we will hereafter go through at our leisure in the sacred registers themselves. If you compare these very laws with ours you will find that many of ours are the counterpart of yours as they were in the olden time.

Greece did not exist 9000 years before Solon.  They were still living the hunter, gatherer lifestyle and hadn't been formed into a civilization yet. 

You can't twist and torture what Plato said, you can't say he said one thing, but must have meant something else.

An open-minded view of the past allows for an unprejudiced glimpse into the future.
