Panchaea (L)

Panchaea was an island in the Indian Ocean first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Euhemerus in the 4^th century BC. It is conventionally assumed to be fictional^(b) as it shares many of the characteristics of Plato’s Atlantis.

Nevertheless, Thérêse Ghembaza has boldly proposed^(a) that Meroë on the Upper Nile, which can be loosely described as an island, was in fact the Panchaea described by Diodorus Siculus and was, by extension, Plato’s Atlantis.
