OCTOBER 2024 The recent cyber attack on the Internet Archive is deplorable and can be reasonably compared with the repeated burning of the Great Library of Alexandria. I have used the Wayback Machine extensively, but, until the full extent of the permanent damage is clear, I am unable to assess its effect on Atlantipedia. At […]Read More »
Joining The Dots
I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato’s own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.Read More »
The Divine Number
Tristan, Sylvain
Sylvain Tristan is a young French researcher who has adopted the theories of Jean Deruelle, who advocated the idea that the 
Atlanteans were in fact the Megalith Builders of the Bronze Age who left us a legacy of remarkable structures from Scandinavia, along the Atlantic seaboard including the British Isles and on down into the Mediterranean as far as Malta. Tristan also subscribes to Deruelle’s contention that the capital of this civilisation had been located on the Dogger Bank in the North Sea, between England and Denmark.
A second major influence on Tristan’s thinking was the writings of Alan Butler, who among other matters, has argued[623] for the use of 366-degree geometry by the Megalith Builders. Butler wrote the Foreword to Tristan’s Les Lignes d’or, it can be read on Tristan’s English language website(b), while the French text of the book is available online(e).
Tristan returned to the subject of 366-degree geometry in his latest book, Numbers of the Gods[1399].
Tristan has expanded on the work of his mentors in two books[624][625].
An interview with Tristan can be accessed on the Internet(a). Unfortunately, his non-fiction output has only been published in French so far, but in 2012 he published, The Divine Number, in English, as a Kindle book(c). This novel is based on a series of secrets associated with the 366-degree geometry of Butler’s research. He introduces the book in a short YouTube clip(d).
Tristan’s idea of a megalithic Atlantis has been heavily criticised by Alain Moreau(f).
In 2017, Tristan ventured into even more controversial territory with the publication of the fully illustrated Re-Dating Ancient Greece 500 BC=1300 AD [2093]. The title clearly suggests that a radical redating of accepted ancient chronologies is needed. The book asks many fundamental questions – “Was Homer truly a member of the Saint Omer clan—Frankish knights who invaded Greece in the 13th century? Was the Parthenon built as late as the 14th century AD? And was Plato truly Pletho, a 15th-century philosopher?” (g). Tristan’s suggestions are comparable with the contentious theories of Gunnar Heinsohn (1943-2023)(h).
