The North Sea has been advocated by a variety of writers as the original site of Atlantis. Jürgen Spanuth specified his native Heligoland as its location in his well-researched work[015].
Robert Scrutton drew heavily on the contents of the controversial Oera Linda Book to support his view of an Atlantis or Atlantean colony in the Frisian Islands of the North Sea[117][118].
Georg Lohle in his book[446] on world history identifies a location between England and Denmark that was inundated about 2000 BC. He also makes extensive use of the Oera Linda Book. His German language website(a) has a wide range of photos and diagrams. Lohle daringly resurrects the old idea of the Earth being hollow and then combines it with another controversial concept, namely that it is still expanding(b).
Jean Deruelle opts for a location on the Dogger Bank in his book[278]. Viatcheslav Koudriavtsev has also identified(c) the Dogger Bank as the most likely site of Atlantis.
The most recent challenger for the Atlantis title is in the vicinity of Rockall, an uninhabited islet north west of Ireland.
