In the books Sokrates has a long conversation with Critias about the story of Atlantis which originates from Solon

What do we know and how?

The original story of the lost island of Atlantis comes to us from two Socratic dialogues called Timaeus and Critias, both written about 360 BCE by the Greek philosopher Plato.

Some researcher say:​

"Socrates, to a tale which, though strange, is certainly true, having been attested by Solon, who was the wisest of the seven sages. "

"The island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent."

/Plato/

Did Plato somehow knew about America?

What is the "opposite continent" that Plato mentions?

Why is the island described larger than Lybia and Asia?

What "true ocean" is he talking about?

"The entire circuit of the wall, which went round the outermost zone, they covered with a coating of brass, and the circuit of the next wall they coated with tin, and the third, which encompassed the citadel, flashed with the red light of orichalcum."

Could it be that the blue colouring at the Richat structure is a result of the tin and brass walls which have spent the last 11,600 years dissolving into the ground?

"For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island"

"For which reason" ~ Because of the flood

"sea in those parts is impassable" ~ Sea became land

"shoal of mud" ~ Muddy area after the flood

"subsidence of the island" ~ Earthing up with mud

Observe:

"Atlantis nesos"

(Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος), literally means "Atlas's Island"
