atalante,
You have pointed to a very important clue:

> The discovery of several mines that date to 5,500-3,100 B.C. in southern Egypt leads researchers there to believe the ancient Egyptians were the first to extract gold and to use the precious metal for making jewelry<

When this part of Egypt was a famous source of gold, it is obvious why the Atlanteans may have travelled there by ship - via Mediterranean and Nile river - to get this precious metal. It is also possible that they, having special experience in gold mining, were exploring new sources and during one of these expeditions came to this remote place, as our today oil explorers are searching everywhere on the globe.

Anyway, the leaders or kings ruling a place where this precious metal was mined and traded, got wealthy and migthy and it is not astonishing therefore, that the first dynasty of Egypt was developing in this area.
