The first one actually sounds borderline credible (for Flood legends if not Atlantis) - you can imagine that in the days before written records, "important" history would have been passed down by word of mouth over dozens or even hundreds of generations.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of the Kala-Atlantis connection, Kid. I always liked the cover of Suspense #43 - aka the cover of Fantastic #7, which was one of the first comics I acquired as a back issue (by sending off a postal order)!Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012179240296572398.post-63528598143072267622015-01-25T12:59:54.454+00:002015-01-25T12:59:54.454+00:00I've read that legends like Atlantis and Gilga...I've read that legends like Atlantis and Gilgamesh/Noah's Ark are ingrained in human culture due to the massive floods that took place when the glaciers melted at the end of the last ice age. I remember reading an explanation for the Bermuda Triangle that claimed it was due to a huge machine in Atlantis that was still working and somehow dragging down ships and planes to the sea floor (!!) And apparently when Europeans first saw the magnificent bronze sculptures made by people in Nigeria they refused to believe that such things could have been made by Africans and thought they had actually been made by refugees from Atlantis who came ashore in Nigeria !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012179240296572398.post-11819973668204470702015-01-25T12:11:57.879+00:002015-01-25T12:11:57.879+00:00Atlantis? Kala, Queen of the Netherworld, and her ...Atlantis? Kala, Queen of the Netherworld, and her people, were descendants of Atlantis. (See Tales of Suspense #43.) Perhaps Tony Stark could put you in touch with her? I'm sure she could tell you an interesting tale or two.<br /><br />(What can I say? I just didn't want to drop in and not leave a comment.)
