We don't have anything about going west.
And also what's kind of funny too is the Timaeus talks about how the Atlantic, you couldn't navigate across it because the sinking of the island gave it a shoal of mud and you couldn't.

And so we don't have a lot of westerly expansion, but it's so strange that he knows about America and underwater geography, because a lot of the stuff that we're looking at, you have a lot of sounding depths.
