In his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Plato recounts that on “the island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire” that ruled Africa as far as Egypt, Europe as far as Italy, and “parts of the continent” (thought to be a reference to America, specifically Central America, Peru, and the Valley of the Mississippi). It has been postulated that Atlantis and the small islands to its east and west formed a continuous bridge of land from America to Europe and Africa.
In zijn dialogen Timaeus en Critias, vertelt Plato: ‘op het eiland van Atlantis was een groot en prachtig rijk’ dat Afrika regeerde, zover als Egypte, Europa zover als Italië, en ‘delen van het continent’ (beschouwd als een verwijzing naar Amerika, specifiek Centraal Amerika, Peru, en de Mississipivallei). Men neemt aan dat Atlantis en de kleine eilanden oost en west ervan, een doorgaande brug van land vormden van Amerika naar Europa en Afrika.


W. Scott-Elliot’s ''Story of Atlantis'' presents the records of Atlantean civilization as revealed by clairvoyance. Scott-Elliot’s book is a compilation of the discoveries of a number of students who, according to Theosophist A. P. Sinnett, were “allowed access to some maps and other records ... from the remote periods concerned” to promote the success of their work. These maps, he says, had been physically preserved by those other than the races presently occupying Europe—presumably by the Adepts who tutored students of Theosophy, although Sinnett does not specify.
