Hitching, J. Francis
John Francis Hitching (1933- ) is a British writer with an interest in archaeology, non-Darwinian evolution as well as the paranormal. His best-known work on evolution is his controversial The Neck of the Giraffe[0767].
He was editor of The World Atlas of Mysteries[0307] in which he gives an overview of Atlantis theories, while in his better-known work Earth Magic[0578.166] he reveals his preference for Crete as the source of the Atlantis story –>“Plato’s description of Atlantis, on which all Atlantean theories are based, can be readily assigned to the Mediterranean island of Crete, wrecked by an earthquake that happened on the near-by island of Thera.”<
Hitching’s scientific credentials and credibility have been seriously questioned(a)!
