A linguistics professor I once had used to counter this kind of amateur
onomastics with the example of "Potomac" vs. Greek "potomos". He would
jokingly claim that this proved that the ancient Greeks must have
settled Virginia.

But no one claims Greek "potomos" settled in Virginia.

And no sane person claims that Mazatlan was settled by people from Atlantis.


Insult caused by frustration due to the inability to refute or
objectively admit this evidence supports the claim. It is not a matter
of opinion. The linguistics support the existence of the island
continent.

And I never said Atlanteans settled in Mazatlan. I said the name
mazATLAN linguistically supports the existence of the lost continent.
You have misunderstood.


IOW, you have no answer to the linguistics, except to make a joke =
compliment to evidence.

Linguistics can be easily misused, and does not support your claim.


Then refute each one. As it sits now all you can do is say "nuh uh".


I am very willing to say this linguistic evidence does not come close
to proving the claim but it surely does support.

Not even close, Ray. The word Mazatlan has nothing to do with the Greek
Atlantis.


I see no need to post
other evidence until someone has an intelligent answer or
refutation....or how about even "score one for evidence of Atlantis."

Sorry, but the derivation of Mazatlan has already been shown to refute your
claim.

Show me the scholar and his/her fact.

We know you evos relied on a WIKI source = any Joe Blow.

Produce a scholar to counter Dr. Scott specifically or your anti-Dr.
Scott worldview rage is operating.

Dr. Scott has simply pointed out that these geographic places are
linked linguistically - not a matter of opinion. The only issue is why
are persons (Darwinists) who claim to be loyal to evidence not
supporting ?

Dr. Scott's has a Masters in Argicultural Geography and the only person
in the history of Stanford to ask, recieve permission, and pass an oral
exam in Geography having never taken a class. This earned him 45 units
and a Ph.D. minor in Geography. One of three, the other two in
Comparitive Religion and Psychology.

I will not move onto to eels until one Darwinist has the integrity to
admit the self -evident.

Why do eels swim to the location and find nothing ?
