Was Present-day Israel Atlantis?
According to the Wikipedia article entitled, “Location Hypotheses of Atlantis,” Jaime Manuschevich believes that Atlantis was located in the territory that “today corresponds to Israel and Sinai.”
The article goes on to say that:
Atlantean civilization corresponds to the Natufian peoples, the first food-producing people, whose main political and harbor center was Jericho. These people lived in the region in the dates established by Plato (11,600 BC).
