A recent newsletter from Thorwald C. Franke,<\/a>\u00a0highlighted the work of German researchers, particularly in the early part of the 20th<\/sup> century.

In 2016, Franke published Kritische Geschichte der Meinungen und Hypothesen zu Platons Atlantis<\/em>[1255<\/a>] <\/sup> (<\/em>Critical history of opinions and hypotheses about Plato’s Atlantis), <\/em>which contains a review of virtually every Atlantis theorist from antiquity until the 20th century. Unfortunately, this 593-page tome is not available in English, leaving German readers to be envied for having such a valuable research tool available to them. A summary of his book is available in English(b)<\/span><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

So it is not without good reason that Franke recently urged serious Atlantis researchers to learn German as it provides access to a lot of valuable research. <\/span><\/p>\n
