This describes the event at which Enki's scribe is transported to a "Island", in a River, to be deposited at the entrance of Enki's/Poseidon's Abode. In Greek it is Atlantis, in Enki's retelling, it is the Land of Magan. Poseidon does not live in the middle east. He lives on a Island in a river. The scribe did not go into great detail, undoubtedly he did not get the opportunity to study the area in great detail.
I noticed that when I did a brief search on Magan. But to be honest, it doesn't matter, to me. Plato, or anyone else who has anything to do with the subject must be interrogated, individually. This, is what he said.

No, Magan isn't Atlantis.
Magan was attacked a series of times by the Akkadians and was defeated and subsumed. It was a real region, almost certainly neighboring the empire.
Most likely in Saudi Arabia, but possibly down the west coast of the Persian Gulf.

Perhaps you should read your references before posting them. That article isn't about what you think.
Harte
just keep on assuming,,,
I know what they are talking about ..
Sure.
That's why you linked it in a post about old world contact in antiquity.
Whatever you say.
Just take my advice.

Firstly, your argument is not with me. It is one of the primary players, a god, who supposedly uttered these words. You want to argue with Poseidon/ Enki, be my guest. What I have done is share these findings. Nothing more.
Have you read this lost book in its entirety ?

Thank you for your input.

So you say. But what makes you think that the tale of enki and much like this Atlantis thing, is not an original story at all. What if that to is just a rehash that got washed in the tides of time. After all these gods that came from the sky and liked to have nuclear wars to settle there petty disputes.
Do you think they would write there story on clay tablets? Most especially when they would later flood that part of the world?
Lets just say that at one time there may or may not have been a city there, and now there dust and gone, or mud and sand and gone. So what would be the point on arguing what whos interpretation of what is correct. Most especially when the most likely answer is that there all wrong and all that exists is interpretations. Our current world interpretations being no more sufficient then the one about how enki jerked off into the river to give life to all of the civilization at the time.
Most especially when you read some of these theories these people had when they see some of the bones of these buildings, I especially like the one about how they carried all those stones to build the pyramids, or those people who think all those holes they cut into the stones were done by people with bronze chisels and clever use of sticks and stones and jars of water.
Clearly a theory written by somebody who has never picked up a chisel in there life, or tried to move anything heavier then a spoon in there life, so as such they came up with a theory based on all they know, which is basically what they read about it somewhere. To much academic and not enough experience hands on things. So we have gone from jacking off into a river, to it was done with chisels and hammers.
Theories and opinion and assholes, the three things all people posses. I mean we have come a bit farther in knowing about the world from a few hundred years ago and from thousands of years before that when we were outside the cave entrance guarding it with a pointy stick.
But i think we should wait a few hundred more before we go setting things in stone, or clay tablets, or worse, digital format, as none of that would last.
As you can no doubt see, what we have here is progress.
I didn't say that, or intend that. I interrogate what Plato says. I interrogate what Enki says. As I interrogate each little piece of the puzzle. I also interrogate those that come in and attempt to thwart any investigation into certain subjects. I learned long ago not to come to any conclusions prematurely. Would you believe a certain group of people would rather have it all remained buried? There were problems with Sitchen and to ignore that may send people looking for Todo, that doesn't exist. But his entire work, should not be thrown out.
But what makes you think that the tale of enki and much like this Atlantis thing, is not an original story at all.
That is the exact reason why they did it. Enki reveals knowledge of the coming destruction.

That isn't what happened, in Enki's words. He tells that the first creations were done in a test tube of sorts. The second creation was rape, rape of the first creation, and Enki admitted to it. But then again the gods had a preponderance for incest and rape. But he accepted the results of that as family, the demi gods. The first creation were slaves, the second, from the first, were family.
Our current world interpretations being no more sufficient then the one about how enki jerked off into the river to give life to all of the civilization at the time.
The clay tablets have lasted quite well. But waiting a few hundred more? I don't know about you, but I'm thinking the luxury of time is running out.

"Atitlan" is Nahuatl, a language that (probably) originated in the Southwestern United States some time in the common era - likely in the first or second century CE.
It means "between the waters." That's from wiki.

Hmmm... I've read that the Aztecs claimed to have originated in Utah or Wyoming and then made their way south due to some kind of catastrophe. I wonder if there was some cultural infusion going on there. Still, that "atl" phoneme sure got around in the olden days.
I can imagine. And some of the roads I have presented would never have been seen from the ground either. Walk right past it and not know what it was, because on ground level, its all just rocks...
And for the record, the eye itself is visible from space but on the ground you can drive across it without even realising it is there.
