The Liberation of the Levant

Atlantis Chapter 10

The fight between Achilles and Hector depicted on a Greek Amphora from the Classical Period

In the previous chapters, I developed a theory that the Atlantean civilization was the City of Sidon’s overseas colony of Atlantis, which referred to the continent of South America, and specifically the Altiplano.

The priests of Egypt told Solon that the Atlanteans had invaded the Mediterranean as far as Egypt and were enemies to all countries of the Mediterranean. The only foreign enemy that had invaded Egypt in that timeframe was the Amalekite Hyksos’ overthrow of Egypt immediately after the Exodus. I proposed that the Atlantean hegemony was merely a component of the Sidonian-Hyksos Empire that had conquered Egypt in 1479 BC and then Akkad two years later in 1477 BC.

The Sidonian-Hyksos Empire was a coalition of Semitic and Canaanite tribes that ruled the Ancient Near East for about four centuries until their final defeat in the reign of King Saul.

Last month, we began to look at possible historical events that the Egyptian priests who told Solon about Atlantis may have interpreted as the Atlantean War. Gideon’s defeat of the Midianites, Amalekites, and Sidonians in 1251 BC marked the beginning of the downfall of the Sidonian-Hyksos Empire, which would take another 188 years to be completed. In this chapter, we will look at three more wars in that period, which step by step dismantled the Sidonian-Hyksos Empire.
