1. IF Atlantis was near America and sunk, this would not make the Atlantic unnavigable. Moreover, no one in Plato's time could reach the Americas to notice that there was a shoal of mud.

And yet, the fact that the cocoa plant found with Egyptian mummies would prove that there was contact between the two cultures, Herr Saltzman. Unless, of course, the earlier version of Morocco also involved in the drug trade as well.

2. IF Atlantis was in America, it would not make sense to say it was before the Pillars of Herakles.

Makes sense to me, you seem to be the only one here with a problem with it, or the Azores, for that matter.

3. IF Atlantis was in America, how could the Atlanteans attack Greece? Wouldn't evidence of their civilization first be in North America and South America, and West Europe/Africa? Why attack the Mediterranean? There is nothing for them in the Mediterranean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, if the war didn't actually happen (and most theories are unsure that it did), why does anyone even need to prove it?

4. It'd be pretty damn difficult to control W. Europe and Libya from the other side of the sea, especially when voyages were limited.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really, and I wouldn't be surprised if an ancient South American culture navigated all over the world, with ports everywhere.

Where would an ancient sea-faring race have a better chance of flourishing? Desert or tropical jungle? Offhand, I would say "jungle."
