Dennis Cassinelli is a historian and writer from Nevada, who has written: “on topics that range from

I found that the Mormons believe that Jesus Christ did in fact survive the Crucifixion and was able to make his way, most likely on a Phoenician ship, to Central America where he resumed teaching his Gospel to the Mayan natives.”
He suggests that Phoenicians landed in Central America and on seeing the Mayan cities, concluded that they had landed in Atlantis. Jason Colavito had a few comments to offer regarding this idea(b).
