Although for many or it can seem unnecessary - and until certain ridiculous point to have to be demonstrating that the only region of Gadeira which the Greeks knew the times of Plato was the region of the present Cadiz, in Spain, once again to Hispanic-Cuban investigator Georgeos Diaz-Montexano returns to offer an excellent sample to us that confirms - once more - that when Plato located to the island or peninsula (Nêsos) Atlantic, next to the Columns of Hercules, and that said to us a region of the own Atlantis or Atlantis arrived until the same columns and Gadeira was called, he was speaking to us - without place to doubts of the only region of Gadeira, well-known in those times, that were next to Columns of Hercules, that is, Gadeira, the same Gadeira, Gadira or Roman Gades, present Cadiz, that in effect, always was next to the Columns of Hercules or present Straits of Gibraltar.
The new proofs, Diaz-Montexano has found them in fragments of old codices - written in Greek by three contemporary authors to Plato: the Doctor Hippókrates, and comedians Eüpolis and Antiphanes.
The appointments demonstrate perfectly that in the Plato's times it only existed for Greek an only place in the world known with the famous name of Gadeira, and this place was Cadiz, Spain.
In the text known like "De Internis Affectionibus" of famous Greek doctor Hippókrates, written in first half of century V BC, it is possible to be read as it is prescribed for the diseases of the drop and bazo, salt meat or sauces of fish from Gadeira, Cadiz, that already were famous at that time, because the Phoenicians took to several centuries exporting towards Greece and other towns of the interior of the Mediterranean these products.
In the text known like Marikâs, of comedian Eüpolis, written on second half of century V BC, a comparison between two types of salt meats or sauces of fish more famous, those of Phrygias and those from Gadeiras. Whereas in the Deükaliôn text, of comedian Antiphanes - of the same time -, it is already mentioned like a daily food to sauces of fish from Gadeira and the tuna-fish from Byzantías (Bizancio).
The sauces of fish of Gadeira were, indeed, one of products more famous than was concerned in almost all the corners of the Mediterranean, and that was continued by the Romans under the name of Garum.
As Diaz-Montexano explains, "... if in the times of Plato, the name of Gadeira comprised until of the gastronomical and medical vocabulary daily of old the Greeks, to talk about to original and own products of the Gadeira region from Iberia or Spain, he is absurd then to question that when Plato was speaking of the region that - according to his own words- was well-known with that name of Gadeira and that was to the west, together to Columns of Hercules and the Atlantic arm-sea, it was not talking about to the only region that they knew with that name, and in that location, and that was not other than present Cadiz. And arrived at this point, if the facts demonstrate that the only region of Gadeiras (that it had within if same Columns of Hercules) that the Greeks knew the Plato's times, was the region who at the moment knows itself like Cadiz in the Iberian Peninsula, then, the identification of the Atlantic island or peninsula, or Atlantis, that according to Plato, had a well-known region at its time like Gadeiras and within Pillars of Hercules the same region, cannot be other than the same Iberian Peninsula. Of there, the importance that has the safe identification, and unquestionable, of the Gadeira region that Plato mentions like part of the island or peninsula of Atlantis..."
While nobody can demonstrate that the Greeks of the Plato or Solon's times knew another Gadeiras region, located in another island or peninsula, together to other Pillars of Hercules and another Atlantic sea, and that all these geographic places, also were reunited in another place of the world, nobody will be able to refute the theory on the identification of the Atlantis island or peninsula with the Iberian island or peninsula and part of Morocco, and if nobody can refute these facts, then, the ethics and the principles of science demand that it is due to accept, like theory more rigorous and nearer the described facts by Plato - as far as the location and geographic identification of Atlantis -, the theory that Georgeos defends Diaz-Montexano, at least, until the opposite can be demonstrated.
