BCE is not in the Bible
Cool!
“...Is the Lost Atlantis Mentioned in the Bible?...”
-
No.
Yes it is. See SG book of Revelations where they write about Atlantis....
Who said it was?
Can you be anymore cryptic? SG = Senegal? Singapore? Star Gate?

No, he’s giving a period of time in history not making a direct Biblical quote from the Bible. We know the approximate times of different ages and civilizations from other documents as well as the Bible.
Then there are the Cherethites and Pelethites, mercenaries in the time of David and Solomon (see I Kings 1.38). Is the name Cherethite connected to the name Crete, or Pelethites to the Peleset of the Sea Peoples (generally identified as Philistines)?
The Minoans may have disappeared as a recognizable group before these invasions of the land of Canaan, having been conquered by the Mycenaeans. But Homer thinks there were various languages spoken on Crete. There was still a remnant of non-Greek speakers in classical times, the Eteocretans, in the eastern part of the island.
Someone watched some of Rome or Greece disappear under water and then wrote the Atlantis story
The account is set in the time of Moses, who lived around 1500 BCE BC.
It should be kept in mind that the Caphtorim are the men of Crete, and this account is set around 1500 BCE BC.
There is, in fact, some archaeological evidence supporting Minoan presence in Canaan in that era and even earlier. One example is the presence of Minoan Kamares ware in the city of Ashkelon dating to around 1800 BCE BC.
FIFY
Atlantis is a parable. It never existed. It isn’t lost. And it definitely was not mentioned in the Bible.
But I don't they are mentioned in the Bible.
So because Minoans are mentioned as conquerors in the bible, that means that Atlantis is real? Hard pass.
Brave search inquiry: Does India appear in the Old Testament?
[snip] The name "India" is mentioned in the book of Esther, specifically in Esther 1 and 8, where it is described as the eastern boundary of the territories of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes). [/snip]
Brave search inquiry: Does China appear in the Old Testament?
[snip] ...some interpretations suggest that China may be indirectly referenced through terms like "kings of the east" or in connection with ancient names such as "Sinites" or "Sinim"... the Bible mentions "the land of Sinim" in Isaiah 49, which some scholars associate with ancient China. [/snip]
Brave search inquiry: Does Atlantis appear in the Old Testament?
[snip] The Old Testament does not explicitly mention Atlantis by name. However, some scholars suggest that references to "Caphtor" may be connected to the legend of Atlantis. In the book of Amos, Caphtor is associated with the Philistines, an ancient people known for their maritime skills. [/snip]
(Caphtor -- Keftiu to the Egyptians -- refers to Cyprus)
Spoiler alert: No, Atlantis isn't the Bible; Crete is not Caphtor; the Minoans are not Atlanteans. Cyprus, Crete, and Thera are not Atlantis.

makes it way too annoying to read.
