> Atlantis
Information on the lost continent Atlantis comes from Platon, through Solon's voyage to Egypt. As a result of many misinterpretations of this text the lost continent was searched around Atlantic Ocean. Kazim Mirsan locates Atlantis at Central Eurasia, through locating the two Hercules columns, meaning straits at Hellespontos and Celeken on the Caspian Sea. Size of the continent is verified as total of Libya and Asia, when Libya is interpreted as Africa and Asia as Asia Minor. The map prepared by Kazim Mirsan, shows the inner seas of Eurasia between 15.000 to 10.000 BC, with the main ports of AT-ELIN-ETIS or BIR-OY BIL such as today's Kazan, Saratov, Saray and Orinburg.
