Knötel, August F.R.

Published November 18, 2009

August F.R. Knötel, a German geographer, was the author of a work in 1893 that placed Atlantis in Morocco and linked its priesthood with the religion of Thoth-Ouranos-Hermes. Jürgen Spanuth wrote that Knötel considered Plato’s dating involving thousands of years as ‘complete nonsense’ [017.26]. A facsimile of the German text[0628]+  can now be downloaded from the Internet.

>Alexandre Bessmertny published a short review of Knötel’s work in 1893; now available on the atlantisforschung.de website, in German(a) . I have posted an English translation here for those interested(b).<
