The Berber tribes of North Africa call it Attala, the Basques Atlaintika, the Vikings Atli, the Babylonians Arallu, and the Aztecs Aztlán or Tulan. The Hindus referred to Atlantis or different portions of it, in various stages of its evolution, as Atala, Saka-dvipa (early Atlantis), Sveta-dvipa (‘white island’), Ruta and Daitya (large islands remaining after most of Atlantis had sunk), and Sankha- (or Sancha-) dvipa (Poseidonis).
We know for fact that the Egyptian pyramids were coated with fine white limestone.

Sunk cities (pavement, monuments & pyramids) have been discovered where Atlantis continent was located:
Herodotus, the "father of history," mentions Atlantis by name in referring to the body of water into which it sank. Here is the Greek text of a portion of Clio (History, Bk I, 202) in which the waters beyond the Straits of Gibraltar is said to be known as the Atlantis Sea. Some translators are guilty of "fudging" their translations (George Rawlinson's translation), and translate the word in the text as "Atlantic"; but as is clearly demonstrated in the text, the word actually used by Herodotus is "Atlantis". The accuracy of the Greek text shown here - as well as this translation - can be verified at any university dealing with classical Greek texts.
Red is the color of fire and blood. Hebrew words for blood and red have the same origin: "dm" means red and "dom" means blood. Ancient Greeks associated red with the male principle.
Red was also the color of the Greek gods of war, Phoebus and Ares. In prehistoric cultures, however, red was associated with the female principle. Mother Earth provided the Neolithic peoples with red ochre, which they used in their burials on BOTH sides of the Atlantic ocean:
