Well Atlantis is described as a fertile plain, if Greenland was covered in Ice then I think that rules it out.

Edited to add: Also, that image in the OP that maps the gentic halogroup R1b Y-DNA concentrations across Europe.. I don't believe it aids the argument of atlantean origins. If anything its origins came from the opposite direction from what this website below describes. Not real familiar with this stuff, but that's just what I got from a quick read. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
"Anatolian or Caucasian origins ?"
"The origins of R1b are not entirely clear to this day. Some of the oldest forms of R1b are found in the Near East and around the Caucasus. Haplogroup R1* and R2* might have originated in southern Central Asia (between the Caspian and the Hindu Kush). A branch of R1 would have developed into R1b* then R1b1* in the northern part of the Middle East during the Ice Age. It presumptively moved to northern Anatolia and across the Caucasus during the early Neolithic, where it became R1b1b. The Near Eastern leftovers evolved into R1b1a (M18), now found at low frequencies among the Lebanese and the Druze.The Phoenicians (who came from modern day Lebanon) spread this R1b1a and R1b1* to their colonies, notably Sardinia and the Maghreb."

Very well researcehd and well presented post.
I do, however, feel that it is littered with logical and scientific inconsistencies. From the very basic questions like "How does a land mass the size of the UK sink without causing massive disruption which would be detectable." to some very simple logical errors: They arrived in Ireland from the North becase the mountains were in the north of atlantis and they would have gone to the mountains....etc" Umm, in which case they would have been heading north. In order to arrive in Ireland FROM the north they would have to have been traveling SOUTH! Doh!
And a string of other errors and totally incorrect assumptions, too numerous for me to list here. Actually, that's not true, I just don't want to spend the time.
Just another, allbeit well presented, hunk of junk about atlantis. I wish you would use your tallent for research and presentation to look into something with a little more substance, it pains me to see such an obvoius intelligence waisted.
The root of Tuatha also means North. In the Irish Celtic mythos north is considered to be the source of all power. The Tuatha De Danann came from the North, here in the north they studied all the arts. The common people, the whole race, studied all the magical and powerful arts in the northern islands of the world.

Yes I do know that but Greenland is above water and we are supposed to be looking for a place which sunk beneath the waves during a flood , both in the case of Tir na nog and Atlantis. The Irish do not describe Tir na nog as being under ice.
One other thing that is interesting is that if you remember the structure of the city of Atlantis described by Plato the circular ringed city is divided into four quadrants effectively creating four city's with the temple as the central hub.
Tir na nog is described as having four city's called Findias, Gorias, Murias and Falias

Thule (Tile) an island in the Ocean between the northern and western zone, beyond Britain, near the Orkneys (Orcad) and Ireland; in this way Thule is with the sun in Cancer, in perpetual daylight without night, it is said

You have it backwards. Genetic testing proves that the Irish have the markers of Egyptian DNA, not the other way around. The Egytians came from Sumeria.
What were you on when you came up with these ideas? Were you on the alchemy threads?
Oh I see, so the Celts got their red hair and white skin from the Egyptians, that clears up everything...thanks!
Cough, Cough...just one thing, why did it show the highest DNA match in Europe then, should it not have shown the highest among the Egyptians, or Africans?edit on 9-4-2011 by LUXUS because: (no reason given)edit on 9-4-2011 by LUXUS because: (no reason given)
