Answer: The oldest reference to Atlantis can be found on two diaologues created by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, around 360 B.C. The dialogues' names are Timaeus and Critias. Yet it should be noted that in Critias, Plato mentions Altlantis as knowledge obained from Solon, a law magistrate in 6th century BC Athens. In the text it says that Solon heard about the island of Atlantis on a trip he made to Egypt from two priests called Psenophis of Heliopolis and Sonchis the Saite. The priests translated the history of ancient Athens and Atlantis, recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphic scrpit into Ancient Greek for Solon. They mention that the location of Atlantis was off the pillars of Hercules, which is how the Ancient Greeks refered to the Gibraltar Straits, and that it sunk 9000 years before their time-so 9600B.C. Hope this helps.
