Aleksandr Nikolaevich Karnozhitsky was a Russian scientist who wrote an article in vol.4 of the Science Review journal of 1897, in which he placed the Pillars of Heracles near Sais and located Atlantis itself in the eastern Mediterranean not far from the western mouth of the Nile. He also considered the pyramids to be remnants of the Atlantean civilisation. N. Zhirov reported all this in the December 1959 issue of Sykes’ Atlantis journal.
