Although the Nile port city of Sais on the Mediterranean coast (where Solon heard the Atlantis story) was said to be very ancient, back to Old Kingdom times, the fact of the matter is that no archaeological evidence exists before circa 1100 b. c. (see Wiki), because about fifty miles to the southwest had been the ice age port city of Menouthis, on the what later would be named the Canopic distributary of the Nile, since then dried up, and the ruins of Menouthis on the shallow seafloor since circa 1400 b. c. when the Ice Age ended, because the ocean had cooled to about today’s temperatures.
