Malhotra, Dr. Ashok *

Dr. Ashok Malhotra (1950- ) is a professor of engineering who has authored a number of books on engineering and education. In addition, he has subscribed to a number of Internet forums outlining his views^(a) on Atlantis. He contends that the Atlantis tale originated in the Indus Valley region with the submergence of the city of Dwarka^(g). Subsequently, survivors brought the story to Sumeria from where it was eventually carried to Egypt^(h) and then transmitted to Solon with understandable modifications given its age, distance travelled, and several translations. Incidentally, a wooden block was recovered from the sunken remains of Dwarka in 2007 and so a definitive date for its inundation should soon be available.

Malhotra has given a further exposition of his Atlantis theory in a September 2013 posting on his website^(c). He offers further theories elsewhere^(d) including a suggestion that the builders of Stonehenge came from Armenia^(e), which ties in with a very ancient megalithic site of Karahunj (See: Sirius) also known as Zorats Karer in Armenia^(f){i).
