Plato (428 BC–347 BC)
Ancient Egyptian priest: "This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Heracles (Gibraltar); the island was larger than Libya (North Africa) and Asia (Anatolia) put together, and was the way to other islands (Antilles) , and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea (Gulf of Mexico + Caribbean sea) [with wide opening], and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent (Americas)."

柏拉圖(約公元前427年-前347年)
古埃及祭司:「以前,海格力斯之柱(直布羅陀海峽)入口的前面,有一座很大的"島",那座"島"比利比亞(北非)與亞細亞(安那托利亞)合起來還大(亞特蘭提斯大陸)。從那裡可以去其它的島嶼(安地列斯群島),從那些島嶼你們可以航行到包圍真正的海 (墨西哥灣+加勒比海),相反方向的一整塊大陸(美洲大陸)。」
跟有著敞開灣口的這片海(墨西哥灣+加勒比海)相比,海格力斯之柱以內的地中海僅僅是一個有著狹窄入口的海港。
