Re: [tied] Black Sea

Well, the Atlantis myth exists literally only in Greece, but we don''t know
if the sources of Plato was Greek - he stated they were Egyptian. Similar
legends of sinking lands are present in Celts (Ys, Lyonesse, Hy Brazil, etc)
and India (Rutas). The Flood myth occurs in Greece, India, Lithuania,
Scandinavia, Ireland, and in many non-IE people all around the world.
