I was looking at a magazine about mysteries, and one was about Atlantis. The story went, they were a prosperous urban island about the size of modern day Turkey, and was in the Atlantic ocean. The myth started with a Egyptian priest, who told the story how they raided many areas, but when they attacked Athens and lost, the gods came and sunk their island. When I read this, I instantly thought of Numenor, so I was wondering if this legend was Tolkien's inspiration.

Who else agrees?
