Thanks for the chart, Josie, really illustrates my point!

Mario,

Sais is one of the oldest cities in Egypt and Saitic traditions some of their first.  As to it being the Athens that Plato spoke about, that is an interesting idea.  Neith and Athena were supposed to be the same goddess, but with different names. 

I am not really sold on that, though!  I can't remember offhand if Sais was ever involved in any of the Egyptian wars. We should check into that. 

I would think that there would be evidence of ancient settlements (seaports) by Atlantis on the Atlantic coast if the story is to be believed.  That is why we need to pay attention to places like the sunken area off Cadiz and Lixus, in Morocco.  Both have evidence of ancient ruins there that predate the Romans and possibly the Phoenicians as well.

There should also be evidence of this war they fought along the coast of North Africa and the Med!
