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....
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.
So because Minoans are mentioned as conquerors in the bible, that means that Atlantis is real? Hard pass.
Just one wrinkle - Plato got his story from Solon who live 200 years earlier who got it from an Egyptian priest who told him Atlantis was destroyed 8,000 years earlier So there is no connection to Atlantis in the Bible, which, at best, was written 2,000 years before Plato and the empire of Crete.
