Zep Tepi Ancestry

Plato writes that Egyptian priests kept records of their history going back over nineteen thousand years.  Herodotus tells us that when Hecataeus of Miletus boasted to the Egyptian priests that he could trace his ancestry through fifteen centuries to a god, they quietly showed him, in a hidden sanctuary deep under the sands, the statutes of three hundred forty-five high priests, each the son of the preceding, making three hundred forty-five generations since their gods had descended to the Nile valley, coming originally from a greatly cultured civilization in the mid-Atlantic.

Sounds like home.

Interesting details. Is there any evidence of this beyond Plato's descriptions?

do not know. just ran across this detail last night in reading. I found it in a particular book. I thought it was interesting as it seems to go along with the large underground story of grand rooms underground that I have seen from several other accounts.
