Possible genetic evidence for Atlantean invasion of Europe and Africa
Hey everyone I did some research and noticed that certain maternal mtDNA haplogroups (H1, H3, H5, V, U5b1b) seem to have spread from west to east in Europe and North Africa, supposedly from out of the Iberian glacial refugium in waves, between 13,000 - 7,000 BC.
This overlaps with the date given in the Platonic dialogues for the Atlantean invasion of Europe and Africa around 9,600 BC. Although its curious that its only maternal haplogroups following this dispersal pattern and not paternal ones.
These haplogroups are found in the Saami of Scandinavia, the Basque of Iberia, and the Tuareg and other Berber/Amazigh peoples of Africa.
Maybe Atlantis was itself a glacial refugium and Iberia was just the first stop when they traveled east
I present my sources and research in the video linked below, please let me know what you guys think, thanks
