* Or did they perhaps instead CREATE the Atlantis legend, when Tyrrenians or Etruscans navigated back to the Old World, taking stories of sunken flooded cities with them? These then combined with EXISTING stories about the great catastrophic floods which drowned cities and continents!
* We have the same set of legends on both sides of the Atlantic. In the New World it is El Dorado and a female spirit in the lake. In the Old World, such as the UK, it is all about the Lady of the Lake, taking a sword out of the lake (from a lost civilization) an throwing a very valuable object (a sword of a king) into the lake!
* The Eldorado Legend must be all about throwing gold down to a city that was flooded!
This draws on the work of Frank Joseph.
