José Pellicer de Ossau Salas y Tovar (1602-1679), a Spanish writer, was probably the first (1673) to identify an Andalusian location for Atlantis, proposing that Tartessos was identical with Atlantis and that it was located on the Guadalquivir River in southern Spain near Seville. He specified the Doñana Marshes, coincidentally where; Kühne and Wickboldt have identified ground features using satellite images, which they claim corresponds with Plato’s description of Atlantis.
