Colchis

Colchis the land of the Golden Fleece.

Haven't solved this one yet, or not sure if not other candidates.

This is just lists of candidates for the main places etc in the story.

Seems like the two best candidates for Colchis are either Georgia/Scythia, or America (Mexico or Peru/Atlantis). Bailey in 'God Kings and the Titans' suggested Colchis was in America? (Atlantis' capital city is certainly Tiahuanaco/Tiwanaku.)
