    "The earliest mentions of fabled lost Atlantis were, as you know, in
    two essays by Plato, Timaeus and Critias." ...

    "I didn’t even mention the role Atlantis played in the Perry Rhodan
    novels"

Thank you for enlightening me to Atlantis' Platonic origins. It ought to
prove useful in the future.

My inner pedant petitions me to play. Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon's
_New Atlantis_ is located in the Pacific, proximally preceding Perry's
place called "Lemuria:"

_Black Tuesday_ (Mayer) puts Atlantis back where it belongs: in the
Atlantic.

Danke,
