Also, Atlantis was supposed to be outside the Pillars of Hercules, locating the straits at the Red Sea would mean you're locating Atlantis inside the pillars, which is where Israel is. Again, it doesn't match Plato at all.

The seaweed rising up from the Sargasso Sea has historically made sailing through it difficult. You should investigate these things before offering an opinion on them.

The seaweed is not just like the mud... if as much the Greek knew of this sea, why they did not say it...?

Yep, the Mediterranean is the smaller sea while the Atlantic is the greater one, just like Plato is talking about. It fits if you look at it like that, it doesn't fit at all if you look at it the way you're doing.

The Mediterranean and the Atlantic continue being there, they have not disappeared and both seas continue being navigable...

You're kidding, right? Jamie, Spartel alone disproves that statement. It's not my idea of Atlantis, but it's a small island sunk, right in the Atlantic. And guess what? It was only 11,000 years ago, not 5 million. .

Spartel did not sink.... underwent a tsunami, that is not same... The data only say to us, that its altered the levels of sea... Not even we know if before also it were under the sea...

This only says it in the Timaues, in Critia says...

Here the storyteller omits what it sank...
