Lissner, Jonah G.

Jonah Gabriel Lissner is a prolific American author with an output which includes both fiction and non-fiction. His scientific interests are too numerous to record here as a perusal of his CV reveals^(b).

Lissner has written on Jewish origins in Turkmenistan^(d) and Europe, particularly their place in the history of the Khazars, a subject recently (24/01/13) in the news^(c) . Another website^(e) claims that Atlantis was founded by Hebrew Khazars!

His interest in archaeology and ancient history led to a 2002 paper entitled The Mariners of Elysium: Evidence for the Ancestors of the Guanches as Founders of Predynastic Egypt^(a). Although this paper is not directly concerned with Atlantis, Lissner is sympathetic to its existence maintaining “the probability of a generalised mesolithic (circa 8,000 BCE) megaculture in maritime Western Europe including geographically what is now the Canary Islands, coastal Northwest Africa/Sahara, Southwest Europe and the British Isles, e.g. ‘Atlantia’; contemporary with early Jericho, Catal Huyuk, Gobekli Tepe, and other recent archaeological discoveries in the Near East.”
