C. C. M Hardy was a contributor to Egerton Sykes’ Atlantis magazine from its year of inception. In 1966 he investigated the possibility of setting up a University Chair of Atlantean Studies either in the USA or Europe. Unfortunately, the idea did not appeal to conservative academia and was consequently shelved. I think that there is even more validity in the idea today.

Hardy subscribed to the view that there had been a dam at Gibraltar that was breached around 4500 BC with such a force that it also led to the destruction of a landbridge between Tunisia and Italy. He believed that remnants of Atlantis will be found in the seas around Greece.
