I believe that Atlantis was a great continent with a great people that controlled many areas of the world spreading their culture very much like the British Empire. However, I think their continent is at the bottom of the sea like Plato and perhaps the bible says (the bible speaks of a great "Zidon"...Poseidon?...it may be the Sidon of the middle east but Tyre was greater) and I believe it's in the area of the Philipines. The Sphinx has a Philipine-like face. That's probably why the nose is knocked off. A Philipine nose (flat) does not resemble the nose of the race of the Pharoahs and so it was...ahem...removed (just a guess).
