Atlantis was the Americas, copper from Michigan fueled the bronze age.
Historians try to claim ancient copper mines were from Native Americans, but no copper artifacts have been unearthed from them.
Copper pig skins from a 3800 year old shipwreck however were found in the mediterranean, sources of copper in the middle east, africa, and europe, were scarce and very impure.
I'm not sure that Atlantis was continental America itself, but likely an island near the coast (did it sink or still exist?). Then continental America would of course have been harvested for resources by the Atlanteans (Atlantis was a maritime Empire covering the entire Atlantic) explaining the copper. Now we're talking Atlantic Bronze Age where info is sparse!
Of course the Asiatic native Americans didn't mine the copper, only a fool could believe this!
