Gerd von Hassler (1928-1989) was a German author of children’s play, who had an interest in music and ancient history. In his Lost Survivors of the Deluge, translated by Martin Ebon^[777], he links the biblical deluge with the destruction of Atlantis. He also identifies Sumerian flood of Gilgamesh with that of Noah. In fact he suggests that Gilgamesh voyaged from Lixus to South America . However, overall he seems happy to follow the ideas of Otto Muck who placed Atlantis in the Atlantic and destroyed by an asteroid impact. He further identifies Atlantis with the Garden of Eden. His idea that Noah sailed the Atlantic is to say the least speculative.
