He supports the idea of Atlantis as a Bronze Age<\/a> city located in North Africa<\/a>. He believes that the Chotts<\/a> in what are today Algeria<\/a> \"UHofmann02\"<\/a>and Tunisia<\/a> originally constituted the Lake Tritonis<\/a> of Greek legend and was also known as the Atlantic Sea and connected to the Mediterranean at the Gulf of Gab\u00e9s<\/a>, where the Pillars of Heracles were situated.<\/p>\n

He also points to an ancient people, the Temehu or Tenehu<\/a> who ruled North Africa up to the borders of Egypt<\/a>. He believes that those Tehenu were in fact Atlanteans and the ancestors of today\u2019s Berbers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hofmann\u2019s theories are similar in some respects to the views of Alberto Arecchi<\/a> and the beliefs of this compiler.<\/p>\n
