Subject: Atlantis
Very good article.. but it omits the most likely location of all. Plato clearly states that Atlantis was a ways beyond Gibralter, facing Gades (Cadiz). Since there is a supervolcanic caldera off Portugal in this very area, most likely this was the real Atlantis site. The island appears to have exploded in the 17th century BC.
