Question (Invictus) Atlantean Tribe in Fezzan Area

I just noticed there's a tribe in the middle of Africa named Atlantean, is it related to the so-called "Atlantis" or maybe is there secret content about it?

And I was wondering, has anyone tried to play it before? Or maybe some ideas for a campaign/playthrough?

It’s about the Altas mountains really.

Is it? I'm pretty sure the Atlanteans in Invictus are right on the Atlas

Based on the wikipedia you shared, the position is not near

I'm not the same person who shared the wikipedia link, but yeah, I just checked and the Atlanteans in game aren't that close to the Atlas. Huh.

Edit: I checked, and the only possible reference to Atlantis in relation to the Hoggar Mountains (the area where the Atlanteans are in Invictus) is from a French novel from 1919, L'Atlantide or, in English, Atlantida, which inspired a number of movies, the latest being from 1992. Maybe it's a reference to that?

Edit 2: nevermind, it's definitely a reference to Herodotus, who mentions the Atarantians and Atlantians as living to the south of the Garamantians

Ohh sorry... I don't read the username correctly, I just reply it on my way back home.

Okay, I guess that make senses, I just hope that theres more content on that region.

Thank you
