Did they find Atlantis?

May I suggest, that a once ancient city was over taken by a great tsunami... It would account for what looks like water paths on the land, and all the sand in that part of Africa.
It would also account for many many ancient stories of a great flood. (Noah?)
I was under the impression that you could only reach Atlantis with a stargate. Am I wrong?
They'll find Atlantis right around the same time that they'll find the Oak Island treasure
There is no evidence of a major city there, though.
And you don't need a tsunami for the flood myth, you just need the annual flooding of major rivers.
But seriously, no.
This obviously isn't Atlantis.
I mean - that second video tried to argue that "a map from Herodotus" was evidence.
There isn't any point in listening after that except to see how hilariously goofy the whole thing will become.
That's what happened to the Minoan Civilization of Crete. Mt. Santorini exploded sending a wall of water into Crete. Some survived but the civilization was gone.
There is considerable historical evidence that Atlantis was merely a figment of Plato's imagination, used as a story device. And there is even firmer evidence that the geology and geophysics of the Atlantic ocea would preclude any chance of a continent existing recent enough to be recorded in human history.

I watched the first three minutes of the video in the OP post. at 2:38 in, the narrator mixes up Athens and Atlantis. I assumed that the rest would be unprofessional.
It was.
The 2:38 reference isn't necessarily wrong, since the original Atlantis story involves Athens fighting. But they go on to do it again <10 seconds later in a way that is clearly messing up Athens and Atlantis.
Fair point. Truthfully, I don’t even like that YouTube channel as all they do is steal other peoples content, and then repackage it as their own. However… an idiot making a mistake in a video he made in 2021(?) has no impact on ancient history, or the actual work of the guy who originally came up with the theory.
There are better videos on the subject, that was the first one I found.
But even your "better" video is terrible.
If the Bright Side one is stolen content I don't know why you linked to it as your OP then.
As for the video in post #4, like I said. The thing even has the Map in the thumbnail!
A huge chunk of his video is based on a map from the 18th century that Herodotus didn't make.
Let's not get into all the many, MANY problems in cherry picking the details someone likes to match up with the Atlantis story and ignoring all the other ones - you just can't pay any attention to someone claiming a map from Herodotus (who never drew any maps) proves his point.

Athens fought against the Persian Empire of Darius and kicked their butts at the battle of Marathon in 490 BC, but there were never any wars or battles between Athens and Egypt.
The Atlantis story involves Atlantis invading and Athens leading a coalition against them. They free Egypt in the process.
Agreed…. I watched a decent video from them about a year ago on the subject. I thought that was the video I was posting. I now know they have made quite a few video’s on the subject. More clicks, more money.
I will try to find a more credible source… like Gaia.
