Adolf Schulten was looking for Tartessos in Spain. After him came Helena Maria Whishaw. They did not find Tartessos. At best they found some remnants of Libyan settlements. You can save some money by not buying their books. I will tell you what Tartessos is. It is most likely the arabic name for Tarshish. Maybe it was projected on some river, area or city in Spain but originally, Tartessos was supposed to be Tarshish. King Esarhaddon of Assyria wrote that Tarshish was not a peninsula but an island. In Ezekiel 38:13 we find a reference to Endtimes Tarshish: a mighty sea power with colonies. Adolf Schulten could have spend his money, time and energy better to simply read the Bible and travel to Tarshish. As we can travel to Atlantis, nowadays Al-Hillah, we can also travel to Tarshish. Below pics show the real Tarshish. Do we see any ruins on the sea bottom? No, we see modern skysrapers in Tarshish.
BEWARE, HERE IS TARSHISH: https://www.gettyimages.nl/fotos/london?phrase=london&sort=mostpopular
- Addition: If Tartessos is not Tarshish than it was most likely another name for the location of the Greek underworld on the western horizon.

It is clear that the essence of my postings has completely passed you by.
Then for the umpteenth time. You approach Atlantis from an archaeological point of view, I do this from the theological point of view. These are two completely different approaches. Atlantis city cannot be Tiahauanco, which after all is not on the seabed. Moreover, in Timaios 25, Plato clearly mentioned the continent on the opposite side which is of course America, wherever Tiahauanco lies. The west where Plato placed Atlantis was actually the Greek underworld and not a physical island, which is what Plato made it. Atlantis as Tiahauanco would also not fit in the Biblical system of the aionian times.
You say that Atlantis cannot be Babylon / Al-Hillah because of the wrong direction and the size etc. Then you have not understood all my postings or you probably have not even read them. To begin with, Babylon is a desert city but connected to all the seas of the world through the Euphrates and, according to Revelation 17: 1-5, lies at the heart of all the world’s seas. Furthermore, End Time Babylon / Hillah is the commercial capital of the Fourth End Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 2:40 and &: 19 & 7:23. This empire is in the Middle East, has ten kings and is certainly the size that Plato mentioned. Asia Minor is now Turkey. Why did Plato place Atlantis in the west while Babylon is in the east. This is because everything was mirrored within the range from sunrise to sunset.
More precisely, Babylon is located not only to the east but also to the north of Jerusalem. The south is then Egypt. Furthermore, it is quite clear that Athanasius Kircher’s Atlantis map has the shape of a harp. Just like the Sea of Galilee (Psalm 49: 4). Around this lake were ten cities that resonated with the ten kings of Atlantis. One of those cities was Gadara that resonated with Gadeira. All I admit to you is that it is not entirely certain whether Tartessos is indeed Tarshish. But it is obvious to think this. Tarshish, according to King Esarhaddon, was not a peninsula but an island completely surrounded by the sea.
Ezekiel 38:13 is about End Time Tarshish that still exists in our time. In the passage we read about a mighty seafaring island with independent ex colonies (young lions). This can only be England and not Spain. Who won the Falklands war again? Not the Spanish colonies. In the time of King Solomon we already read about Tarsish, which is England. This also means that the Strait of Gibraltar was not blocked by the mud of Atlantis, as Plato claimed.
