Staner, Victor

Victor Staner (Captain Vic), like so many others before him, is absolutely convinced that he has located Atlantis. His research led him to the region of the Azores in the Atlantic, where Google Earth enabled him to match underwater features with details in Plato’s text.

Staner has described his theory in greater detail on his website^(a), where there is a link to the relevant pdf file, which can be downloaded^(b).

My objection to this location, is that there is no explanation of either why or how a hypothetical civilisation in the Atlantic would launch an attack on an Athens over 4,000 km away around 9,600 BC, millennia before that city even existed?
