OK, lets look at some basics.

All the mediterranean cultures shared the same deities though in varying importance and names as well as the mythos.

Saturn, is Kronos, is El, is Elohim, is Re. The Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Khem all had the same gods. With the Jewish being a sub cult of the Phoenician variant that evolved away from it towards just worshiping El(ohim).

Atlantis odds are, was Thera, as it was an island with its citadel super city built on a volcanic outcrop in the middle of a submerged caldera which made it nigh impregnable as the Cretan race were the greatest mariners of the age. The Egyptians looked up to them and were quite friendly with them as trade partners. Then Thera erupted and the first worlds greatest empire became reduced to ash in a split second. The repercussions of this event would echo around history. Civilization took a serious hit, the tsunami wave destroyed many of the Mediterranean's coastal cities in the area. The survivors of Crete (Caphtor) took to the seas and turned their expert maritime skills to pirating the coasts of Khem and Canaan. They became known as the barbarous Philistines...

I for one find it ironic that the Philistines, the Cretans, were the same as the Atlantians and Minoans who were highly advanced. So its a bit of a shock to find that their names have become synonymous with barbaric foolishness. The Egyptians were quite shocked to find their long time allies raiding, and the Hebrews who fought so valiantly against the Phoenicians (Canaanites) only to find themselves caught in a battle with invaders (Philistines) to their lands. Another race descended from the Cretans are believe it or not, the Trojans. Their exodus was earlier, but they too settled Asia minor in the land of Phrygia. There they built a series of cities, greatest of which was Troy. The Trojans led to the dynasties of the Roman aristocrats, and other Phoenician people settled in Byrsa (Carthage.)

In the bible one of The Thirty shield bearers of Saul (Elhanan [or David in most accounts] fights against the vanguard of the Philistines, the warrior Alyattes (Goliath). Alyattes is described to be nigh identical to well known Mycenaean warriors like Hercules, Ajax, and Achilles. The concept of a six+ foot heavily armed Greek Champion is not unheard of in the epics. After all, we know the Greeks in that era routinely settled battles via a champion's duel.

So like I was saying all the Mediterranean cultures share a lot of culture, the way we try to separate them up into groups is hard because ultimately they're just different kingdoms of the same broader culture. Its just different variations of the same thing.
