Atlantis is a source of fascination around the world, particularly to Europeans, many of whom claim ancestry from it, and rightly so actually, considering the empire of Atlantis extended both inside (to Italy and Libya) and outside the Pillars of Hercules, the Gates of Gades/Cadiz (a brother of Atlas) as it was known to Pindar. Even the fascinating ancient frisian text the Oera Linda confirms that “Atland” included where now is the submerged Dogger Bank in the North Sea, outside the Pillar of Hercules, so spread the word to your European friends, they will love to know, that the Ice Age ended actually circa 1500 b. c. when the sea level rose to consume 75 million square miles of land worldwide.
