Cassinelli, Dennis

Dennis Cassinelli is a historian and writer from Nevada, who has written: on topics that range from American Indian stone tools to the Great Basin to the history of the Comstock Lode”. In his 2009 book, Uncovering Archaeology[1612], he outlines in some detail his Atlantis theory, which he locates in Central America (a).

>In a 2019 newspaper article(c)  Cassenilli wrote  “Being an avid reader, I happened to read a few chapters in the Book of Mormon one day from a historical perspective. 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).
