Sanchuniathon

Sanchuniathon (c. 13-14^th cent. BC) was a Phoenician writer whose>>work is now lost^(d) and only available through the writings of Eusebius (4th cent. AD)^(c)<<and Philo of Byblos (c. 100 AD), who claimed to have translated his Phoenicia from the original text^(a) .

Sanchuniathon, writing 600 years before Plato was born, refers to the original kings of Egypt calling them ‘Aleteans’. Some have speculated that this was an early form or corruption of ‘Atlanteans’.>>The phoenicia.org suggests that the Phoenician gods were also Kings of Atlantis!^(b)<<
