S<\/strong>urvivors<\/strong> of the Atlantean destruction are a reasonable expectation given the extent of its influence as described by Plato. The fact that its rulers only met every few years suggests a geographical spread that must have left some, if not\u00a0most, of the confederation intact, irrespective of the location of the earthquake<\/a>\u2019s epicentre. Some have proposed that survivors migrated to an extensive range of locations such as Egypt, the Middle East and the Americas, but offer little to substantiate their claims apart from the widely dispersed flood myths that are most likely to have arisen following the melting of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age.<\/p>\n

Sanchuniathon<\/a>\u00a0refers to the original kings of Egypt calling them \u2018Aleteans<\/a>\u2019.\u00a0Albert Slosman<\/a>\u00a0claims[551<\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0that survivors from Atlantis had migrated to Egypt. The archaeologist,\u00a0Marcelle Weissen-Szumianska<\/a>, in a 1965 book,\u00a0Origines<\/em>\u00a0Atlantiques des Anciens Egyptiens\u00a0<\/em>[<\/sup>837<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>,<\/em>\u00a0maintained that the pre-pharaonic Egyptians originated in Atlantis, which had been situated in\u00a0Morocco<\/a>! Others suggest that Egypt was an Atlantean colony.<\/p>\n

Egerton Sykes<\/a> proposed that the Tuatha deDanaan were refugees from Atlantis in his 1949 edition of Donnelly’s Atlantis<\/em>. Sean Welsh<\/a> is one of several who have labelled the Sea Peoples<\/a> as Atlantean refugees.<\/p>\n

All the suggestions put forward are either pure speculation, invention or allegedly derived from some psychic source. W. Scott-Eliot <\/a>claimed [543<\/a>]<\/sup> that refugees from an Atlantic Atlantis fled westward to Mexico and became the Toltecs<\/a> and eastward and built Stonehenge<\/a> ln Britain! While other European cultures have also had Atlantean roots attributed to them, the most frequently named are the great civilisations of Central and South America – Aztec<\/a>, Maya<\/a>n and Inca<\/a>n. Posnansky<\/a> went as far as to suggest that Tiwanaku in the Andes was built by Nordic refugees from Atlantis! Proof, however, is lacking in all cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
