I think the Azores were likely one of their colonies, and survivors egressed to Egypt, Israel, Greece and the like. I.e. the Phoenicians were remnant Atlanteans.
Also, when you read the description of Atlantis' three rings being brass->tin->orichalum (Red Gold, i.e copper/gold) it makes you wonder if they were harvesting electricity like they did with "Stacks" of nickel and copper with water, prior to the discovery of the faraday generator.

yeah I a thinking same thing. It's crazy to think that there was an egypt, before egypt.
The idea that they had lots of blue dyes too because of that plant they were saying would have been in the area, and that's how plato described them, was cool. I wonder if they were like, Aztecs, but instead of bowling with decapitated heads and making
toys like this, they were chill.
