Dr. René Malaise (1892-1978) was a Swedish entomologist, at the Riks Museum in Stockholm, who wrote^[461] about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and its connection with Atlantis. He supported the 1934 ‘constriction hypothesis’ of the paleozoologist, Nils H. Odhner, which attributed vertical crustal movement to ocean temperature change rather than isostasy.  

He contended^{[462][463](a)} that at least parts of the Ridge were exposed during the last Ice Age and that the fossilised remains of freshwater diatoms found submerged on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are evidence that the exposed Ridge contained freshwater lakes. Malaise believed that the Azores are remnants of Atlantis.

Malaise was also convinced that Atlantis probably traded with Egyptian colonists in England, who were responsible for Stonehenge! (Sykes’ Atlantean Research, Oct/Nov 1949)

He has also argued in a 1973 booklet, Atlantis: A Verified Myth^[464] that the similarity of arrowheads found on both sides of the Atlantic point to a common ancestry, possibly on an Atlantic Atlantis. He further suggested that Atlantis had an important trading centre at the mouth of the River Elbe.

Malaise supported the idea that Plato was referring to lunar ‘years’ when he spoke of 9,000 years being the time between the destruction of Atlantis and Solon’s visit to Egypt.
