One tentative identification places Atlantis on an island settlement in a former North African inland sea. In this account, tectonic change cut the basin off from the ocean, leaving the island and its city as a possible source for the tradition. The identification remains a proposal rather than an established location. Appeals to magic are rejected as a substitute for taking ancient engineering and intelligence seriously.
