Cosmas Indicopleustes was a 6^th century AD theologian and geographer from Alexandria who became a monk in later life. He wrote of Atlantis as a large island in the western ocean punished by god with submergence. He also added a twist to the tale by recording a tradition that Noah had resided on Atlantis. Cosmas was probably the first writer to use Plato’s tale as evidence for the veracity of the Bible. His only extant book, Christian Topography, is a bizarre work that includes support for a flat Earth. He has little to add to the Atlantis story except further confusion.
