Depends. Which book did you swipe it from? Have you read Hancock's Mars Mystery? Alfords The Phoenix solution? or Atlantis Rising by some wacko -erm americAn? Where did the idea of a treaty come from? Why 130000 years ago? I thought 10500 BC was the popular New Age theory? Which of the favourite locations for Atlantis do you go with? Not the South Pole surely?
I agree there was something beyond the mediterranean which the Greeks, Egyptians etc traded with. Certainly Egyptian mummies have been found with traces, often quite large, of cannabis and cocaine. The only scientificaly accepted place of origin at the time of mummification could only be South America. I mean, when the body metabolises drugs etc.. metabolites are secreted in hair and depending on the drug remain, are stable for years.
Most ancient civilisations had some contact with the promised land (the americAs). But where? THe only thing Columbus was famous for was introducing disease not finding the americAs - and genocide important not to forget that one.
As to the location of Atlantis \ Lemuria who knows. Alan Alford thinks he has definitive proof, from Egyptian scripture that Atlantis was a water planetary that exploded after a collision with Mars bringing forward the great flood. (?!).
Eric von Daniken on the other hand says in Return of the Gods that aliens' drowned mankind after alien rebels had settled the planet and interbred with humans. The non-rebel aliens did not like this so flooded the whole place after telling Noah how not to get his feet wet. Perhaps Atlantis was where this unholy breeding programme happened. Sodum and Gemorah (apologise for the spelling) sounds a good bet? Who knows.
Just like the various "The Truth Behind Roswell" books there are the same various truths about Atlantis. I personally think the mediterranean is out of the question. Herodotus mentioned myssterious places beyond the pillars of Hercules (or some god person or other...)[Gibraltar?].
Easter island is quite an interesting idea. The islands, which were are now under sea, were above the surface thousands of years ago ca. the magical 10500 BC. They would have formed a formidable continent? Were they aliens or just normal humans with no religous oppression to curb their science that the rest of the world had to deal with - unrelated but is it true in the usa some states do not allow the theory of evolution to be taught? What sort of scientific level would we be at now if religion had not interferred?
Were Atlanteans aliens? Perhaps not. OK I have no proof but then nobody has to the contrary. Good topic btw.
