Having discovered the myth of Atlantis in the past days, I've now conformed to that it described South America ("Isla Atlantica")

"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 [The Strait of Gibraltar]; the island [Atlantis] was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands [the Caribbean Islands], and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent [North America] which surrounded the true ocean [the Pacific Ocean]; " Plato, Timaeus
