Egypt and Tyrrhenia.
Now, Atlas had a numerous and
honorable family, and they retained the kingdom, the eldest son
handing it on to his eldest for many generations; and they had such
an amount of wealth as was never before possessed by kings and
potentates, and is not likely ever to be again, and they were
furnished with everything which they needed, both in the city and
country. For because of the greatness of their empire many things
were brought to them from foreign countries, and the island itself
provided most of what was required by them for the uses of life. In
the first place, they dug out of the earth whatever was to be found
there, solid as well as fusile, and that which is now only a name
and was then something more than a name, orichalcum, was dug out of
the earth in many parts of the island, being more precious in those
days than anything except gold.
There was an abundance of wood for
carpenter’s work, and sufficient maintenance for tame and wild
animals.
Moreover, there were a great number of
elephants in the island; for as there was provision for all other
sorts of animals, both for those which live in lakes and marshes
and rivers, and also for those which live in mountains and on
plains, so there was for the animal which is the largest and most
voracious of all.
Also whatever fragrant things there
now are in the earth, whether roots, or herbage, or woods, or
essences which distil from fruit and flower, grew and thrived in
that land; also the fruit which admits of cultivation, both the dry
sort, which is given us for nourishment and any other which we use
for food—we call them all by the common name pulse, and the fruits
having a hard rind, affording drinks and meats and ointments, and
good store of chestnuts and the like, which furnish pleasure and
amusement, and are fruits which spoil with keeping, and the
pleasant kinds of dessert, with which we console ourselves after
dinner, when we are tired of eating—all these that sacred island
which then beheld the light of the sun, brought forth fair and
wondrous and in infinite abundance.
With such blessings the earth freely
furnished them; meanwhile they went on constructing their temples
and palaces and harbors and docks. And they arranged the whole
country in the following manner:
First of all, they bridged over the
zones of sea which surrounded the ancient metropolis, making a road
to and from the royal palace. And, at the very beginning they built
the palace in the habitation of the god and of their ancestors,
which they continued to ornament in successive generations, every
king surpassing the one who went before him to the utmost of his
power, until they made the building a marvel to behold for size and
for beauty.
And beginning from the sea, they bored
a canal of three hundred feet in width and one hundred feet in
depth and fifty stadia in length, which they carried through to the
outermost zone, making a passage from the sea up to this, which
became a harbor, and leaving an opening sufficient to enable the
largest vessels to find ingress.
Moreover, they divided at the bridges
the zones of land, which parted the zones of sea, leaving room for
a single trireme to pass out of one zone into another, and they
covered over the channels so as to leave a way underneath for the
ships; for the banks were raised considerably above the
water.
Note : Here
Plato describes the banks of the canals as being considerably above
water. As you read on, you will find that this is the first of a
series of clues that will help us calculate the height of the water
level at the Florida Plain during the time of Atlantis.
Now, the largest of the zones into
which a passage was cut from the sea was three stadia in breadth,
and the zone of land which came next of equal breadth; but the next
two zones, the one of water, the other of land, were two stadia,
and the one which surrounded the central island was a stadium only
in width. The island in which the palace
