\"Gunther<\/a>G\u00fcnter<\/strong> B<\/strong>ischoff (1950- ) <\/strong>has written in a number of German papers(a)(b)<\/sup> that he strongly supports Spanuth\u2019s<\/a> theory, which places Atlantis in the North Sea with the royal capital on a Helgoland<\/a> larger than what we have today. He believes that its megalithic influence extended from Scandinavia and the British Isles on to North West France and southern Spain and the Western Mediterranean. He also includes central Europe and the Atlantic island groups in this loose confederation.<\/p>\n

Bischoff also blames the Phaeton<\/a> encounter for the destruction of the capital of Atlantis. Dale Drinnon<\/a> has given us a translation(c)<\/sup> of Bischoff\u2019s extensive paper on this matter. Further information is available on the Atlantisforschung.de<\/em> website(d)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Bischoff has published two additional articles(g)(h)<\/sup> on the Atlantisforschung<\/em> website, which includes a comment that might account for the diversity of locations, where apparent sightings of the comet were reported. “<\/em>Now it is easy to explain why Phaethon should have been sighted over Greece, Egypt, Syria, India\u00a0and other countries.\u00a0<\/em>During its orbits lasting several days, it will have flown over many inhabited areas on its elliptical orbit.\u00a0Some observers may even have seen it several times and from different directions.”<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1995, Bischoff published another paper,once again supporting the theories of J\u00fcrgen Spanuth. However, what stands out for me is a closing paragraph about the work of Barry Fell, where Bischoff ends with, “<\/em>Thus, the first Europeans reached\u00a0the\u00a0New World almost three millennia before the bold voyages of discovery of the Viking\u00a0<\/em>Leif Erikson.”<\/em>(f)<\/sup><\/p>\n

In 2016, Bischoff published his ideas in book form, with a volume entitled Atlantis und sein Zentrum Althelgoland <\/em>(Atlantis and its center Althelgoland)[1216<\/a><\/sup>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Bischoff also supports Spanuth in identifying amber<\/a> as the orichalcum referred to by Plato and accepting the Sea Peoples<\/a> as \u2018North Sea\u2019 Peoples.<\/p>\n

Bischoff is due to give a lecture (in German)\u00a0on his search for Atlantis, entitled Plato, Phaeton and Atlantis<\/em>, on Saturday, July 8th, 2019, in Dresden(e)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
