Jose Imbelloni (1885-1967) was born in Italy but migrated to Argentina where he became professor of Ancient History at the University of Buenos Aires. He stirred up great controversy with his book^[409] that promoted the theory of a south east asian origin for man in the Americas.

Imbelloni also collaborated with Armando Vivante in writing a book^[410] on Atlantis that was later translated into French^[411]. Imbelloni authored a second book on Atlantis^[412] that was published some years later.
