I read the novel Atlantis a few weeks back....about the discovery of Atlantis which disappeared during the Messinian Salinity Crisis, c. 6000 BC. It was ....novel and on a scale of 1 to 10, it rates a -6000 .
But it did have interesting points theorizing the spread of the technological and civilizing aspects of late neolthic societies through Europe, the Mid East and North Africa.
Leaves little room for intellectual spontaneity in wide spread groups of Homo Sapiens to arrive at successful methods to establish a culture.

This one has one of the best titles in the history of publishing (well, at the very least, in the history of kinda fringey books), but reads like the author has ADHD. So I haven't finished it. That was a couple of years ago...
