http://www.independent.com.mt/news.asp?newsitemid=91019Interesting article about the possibility that the Pillars are actually to be found in Sicily and not the Strait of Gibralter...which could put Atlantis inside the mediterranean.
(put this into the wrong thread originally...)
Taking as given for the moment that the "Pillars" were in Sicily and not Gibraltar, an Atlantis outside of them would still have to be beyond Sicily from a Greek point of view, which disqualifies the litany of Aegean locations that archaeologists of dim imagination tend to ascribe to Atlantis as a knee-jerk.
Under a Sicilian "Pillars" hypothesis, the vista of possibility for sunken lands enters the range between Sicily in the east, and Gibraltar in the west (although lands outside of Gibraltar could still be considered as outside of Sicilian Pillars as well). This includes a possible temporary sinking of Sardinia or Corsica, or islands in the western Mediterranean still sunk. Or it could still be K. Margiani's Azores Plateau; or my more recent hypothesis of Iceland ("Ultima Thule").
