I find the whole trans-Atlantic saga endlessly fascinating and if only we could suspend the Atlantis stuff long enough to really look at legends of westward voyages from all cultures - then something of substance might begin to emerge. For example - some tales tell of an area of calm ocean in the Atlantic with vast rafts of seaweed. That can only be the Sargasso Sea -not something you just invent. It's still there and very real. It has its own particular crabs and other creatures and our eels migrate from there.
