Hirmenech, Hans-Pény

Hans-Pény Hirmenech was the author of a 1906 book^[1221],  in French, in which he reviewed possible connections between the Celts, Basques and Atlantis. He claimed that Atlantis had been situated in the North Sea and that Helgoland was a remnant of it.

Hirmenech expressed the wild idea that the rows of standing stones at Carnac marked the tombs of Atlantean soldiers who fought in the Trojan War!

>>Stelios Pavlou informs us that “Hirmenech asserted that the capital of Atlantis was Men or Menes, but gave no sources for this. He argued that Atlantis was in the North Sea, and that Heligoland is a remnant of it. His theory claims that there are dolmen routes leading through southern England, northern Germany and western France, all leading to this site. Hirmenech also made comparative studies of the religions of the ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians and other ancient cultures to identify the cognates of deities who may have been worshipped on Atlantis.” ^(b)<<

Hirmenech was a founding member of la Société Préhistorique Française (The Prehistoric Society of France)^(a).
