Eckart <\/strong>K<\/strong>ahlhofer (1936- )\u00a0<\/strong>is a German entertainer(a)<\/sup> and Atlantis researcher who has recently added his support to the concept of Atlantis in North-West Europe echoing some of the ideas of J\u00fcrgen Spanuth<\/a>.\u00a0He identifies the invasions of the \u00a0Sea Peoples<\/a> with those of the Atlanteans during the 12th century BC. Like Spanuth he \"\"<\/a>also equates orichalcum with amber. Among his more creative ideas is to identify the Shardana<\/a> as coming from Sweden<\/a> and similarly argue that the Philistines came from northwest Europe.<\/p>\r\n

Additionally, he contends that the elephants<\/a> referred to by Plato were in fact deer, claiming that a scribal error resulted in the Greek word elaphos<\/em> (deer)\u00a0being transcribed as elephas <\/em>(elephant).<\/p>\r\n

He strongly rejects the commonly accepted interpretation of Caphtor<\/a>, contending that the term refers to the \u2018pillar of heaven\u2019 in the North Sea holding up the sky and personified by Atlas.(See: Archive 2809<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n

Kahlhofer also attacks the views of Rudolf Steiner<\/a>, Lewis Spence<\/a>,\u00a0Eberhard Zangger<\/a>, the Schoppes<\/a> and Aristotle<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Publication of his book[715<\/a>]<\/sup>, Atlantis in the Third Millennium<\/em>, was imminent and due to have\u00a0been available in English and German. \u00a0However, he has now published an ebook with the title of Mit Atlantis\u2013die andere Dimension (<\/em>Atlantis: The Other Dimension) <\/em>in German.<\/p>\r\n

In October 2013, Kahlhofer published an English translation of a sample of his work. His latest book Der Atlantis Codex <\/i>is now available as a free pdf file(b)<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n

Khalhofer has identified the ‘Nine Bows’ people referred to by Merenpth “as the <\/em>coalition of Lebu, Turscha, Sekeles, Peleset, Theker, Denen, Sardana, Wasasa and Meschwesch coming from the north”,<\/em> whom he had conquered. We would come to know them as the Sea Peoples(f)<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n

Khalhofer notes that later Ramses III (Year 8) in the year 1175 BC, defeated the Sea Peoples whom he knew as the Nine Bow peoples from the North(g)<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n

He updated his website(c)<\/sup> and the English translation of Der Atlantis Codex<\/em> in December 2019. <\/b>Further amendments were added in January 2021(d).<\/p>\r\n

Kahlhofer continued to work on the text, leading to a point where it is now (August 2021) a trilogy(e)<\/sup>. It was no great surprise when Atlantis Codex 2022<\/em><\/strong> was published. This is a 275-page book, originally in German, but if you contact the author, he will send you an English translation(g)<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n
