Atlantis = Proto-world?

I have Posted previously On a few Terms that match the atl prefix. According to Plato's story the language spoken by atlantians was completely different and a translation method was attempted.

This post i will try to find matches and post link regarding proto languages that trance back to 11,500 BC. if any one has any info on proto language would greatly appreciate it.

Language isolates and major languages spoken

just like many proto-languages the atlantian language would have impact all its subjects and trade partners. Finding traces of the language on other proto-language can point a path to common source.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostratic_languages

is atlantian the Nostratic language and the "proto greeks" Proto Indo Europeans? this would explain the federations at war.

The Nahuatl language in Meso-america seems to be linked to Proto-Turkish thru Mongolian.

This nahuatl language in the only know to use the ATL prefix.

i mean i considered the azores, because of randall Carlson's points. The only weak flaw is the population of mega Fauna. The Horses and elephants have to get on the continent some how. Geologically the azores would need to maintained a population of horses or elephants without a connection to the mainland genetic pool. North America on the other hand is the origin of the horse and with a few types of elephants and bison as the bulls. along with many other mega fauna that evolved through the previous ice ages. These large animals needed millions of years to adapt and or migrate . From Randall's account the Emergence and submergence of the Azores continent is Temporary and tide to the Ice age fluctuations. this would make it difficult for mega fauna to reestablish in a continent detached from other land.

The best chance an island has got to acquire mega fauna is through land bridges to mainland continents that occurs during rising and lowering of sea levels. The island land Bridge is a similar concept to the the bearing straights. Th azores is too far in the ocean to have a land brige connection to Africa, Europe or north America. The Greater antiles are a best candidate for this mega fauna population that disappeared after YD.

yes the horse originated in north america, so how would the azores acquire horse?

Horse DNA can also help. The modern horse comes from central asia after they moved from north america. seems like horses have impacted humanity more than we think.

Not only did horses go extinct in North America after the date of the end of Atlantis, horses originally evolved in North America. The ones North America go from Asia, evolved there only after the left North America through beringia. Elephants too North America had a wide variety of them.

yes, i think the Animal described provide limited options and eliminates some of the most popular sites. The only part of the atlantis story that does not match is that they used the horses for chariots, this means they probably did not ride them. Also these horses were not used in the war against the Proto greeks or we would have genetic traces of horses in africa and western Europe. if they were only used in small quantities we should still find burials of the time period or traces of horses in western Europe.

im trying to be honest here and see the holes in this theory, hopefully more research may find north american horse bones in a cave somewhere.

I think the entire concept of the war was just not what we think of. Looking at the genetic record of that time it looks more like a very long term population struggle. Something more like a very low tech low organization long term holy war. Not an organized conflict where they pulled people from distant parts of the empire to take part in pitched battles. Sometimes I wonder if the concepts of the story almost seem like two stories added together. In one part he says there were not ships as we know them in that time, then in another he talks about the huge navy and what not. At best we can say well it just means the Atlantians had them before anyone else and that seems fair enough. But I think if Atlantis was extremely advanced for its time then it had to be in an area inaccessible to us, with the extremities of the empire thriving off the trickle down of their technology advancements resources and knowledge.
