Eckart Kahlhofer is a German researcher who has recently added his support to the concept  of Atlantis in North-West Europe echoing many of the ideas of Jürgen Spanuth. Kahlhofer identifies the invasions of the  Sea Peoples with that of the Atlanteans during the 12th century BC. Like Spanuth he also equates oricalchum with amber. Among his more creative ideas is to identify the Shardana as coming from Sweden and that the elephants referred to by Plato were in fact deer, claiming that a scribal error resulted in the Greek word elaphos (deer) was transcribed as elephas (elephant).

Kahlhofer also attacks the views of, Rudolf Steiner, Lewis Spence, Eberhard Zangger, the Schoppes and Aristotle.

His book^[715], Atlantis in the Third Millennium, is soon to be published in German and hopefully with an English edition to follow. A summary of the book in English is available online^(a).
