Hi, can someone give an opinion on the possibility of connecting the
titan Atlas with Thor.

You see, the Pleiades which were seven daughters of Atlas are
called 'Thuraya' in Arabic.

I seem to think that Tur-/Tor- roots are related to the following:
three, thunder, mountain, teaching, star, law, point, bull and so
many more.

At-tur is mountain or specifically Mt. Sinai in Arabic. Perhaps
related to Torah or Towraat.

In Roman myths is Saturn the cognate of Thor (if the 'seven'
connection is dismissed) although the equivalent of Greek Cronos?
