Because the Bible has some fantastic stories in them that were probably even meant at the time to be

allegorical. Plato makes a point to say that the Atlantis story is fact.

It is not necessary to confuse the things. That to the Phoenicians and Carthaginians knew to it, does not mean that the Egyptians knew to it. The routes of Phoenicians were controlled so well that still we do not know all, like the route to America.

Jamie, maybe you missed this part I printed three times now..?

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the seventh century B.C., the Egyptian Pharaoh Necho II, who reigned c. 615-595 B.C.commissioned Phoenician sailors to sail around the continent of Africa. Accordingly, he commissioned a number of ships manned by Phoenicians for the task. These sailed down the Red Sea and down the east coast of Africa. Every year they settled for a while on the coast, cleared a strip of land, planted a crop and, when they had harvested it, continued on their journey. In the third year they sailed through the Pillars of Hercules and back to Egypt again. They reported that as they sailed around Africa they had the sun on their right.

Documented proof that the Egyptians knew their geography, knowing both where the Red Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pillars of Hercules were. And it happened centuries before Plato even wrote of Atlantis! Stop ignoring it and just deal with it.
