the phoenician historian sanchuniathon, writing 600 years before plato's birth, refers to the original kings of egypt as "aleteans" (atlantians). he mentions this well after speaking of hephaestus, saying "he was hephaestus, and invented the hook, and bait, and line, and raft, and was the first of all men to make a voyage: wherefore they revered him also as a god after his death. and he was also called zeus meilichios" and before talking about the caibiri (sons of hephaestus in greek mythology), the inventors of ships, and atlas, the founder of atlantis. sanchuniathon said that he learned about all this from the ammouneis (priests of the god amun-ra, the greatest god in egypt). and with hierombalus, which is actually the phoenician name of the biblical prophet gideon.   ess.com/culture/ancient-writings/ti meline-of-ancient-sources/   tlantis/was-thoth-an-atlantean.html
