Fasinating. I'll have to read further about this. It is always possable that some culture imitated the Atlantian model or came up with the idea on their own. There is evidence to support polynesian contact with the west coast of South America, and if they could get there in outriggers, the nearest land being Easter Island some 1000 or so miles to the west, It is possable that others traveled from the East. It is also possable that we will find a South American or Antillean(Antilles Island Chain, of which Cuba is a part,) link to Atlantis, or that one has already been found and is not generally recognised. Someone a few years back even proposed that there was an advanced civilization somewhere in the Pacific Ocean contermporaranious to the Atlantean civilization which he called Mu. Largely though It was based on conjecture rather than physical evidence. Sadly, I did not go into Archiology as was my boyhood dream.
