Of course, because that's what happens with a lot of stuff.. entire new narratives start to sprout from the soil. I think this also happened with Jesus. The gospels were written decades after he existed so whatever the writers wrote down was also hearsay, and hearsay goes from mouth to mouth and some stuff will be exaggerated and other stuff will be discarded or ignored..

I think that could also apply to Atlantis. It could very well have been a civilization on a Greek island (Santorini), but then it fades and becomes a myth, and people can make it bigger than it was. Did you know that some people in the Middle Ages thought those remaining large Roman structures across France and Spain were made by giants..?? They just could not imagine how people could build such things..
