Jaime<\/strong> M<\/strong>anuschevich<\/strong> of the University of Chile has recently (2002) produced a book in Spanish[<\/sup>468<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> that places Atlantis in what is now Israel<\/a> and the Sinai Peninsula. The most dramatic part of his thesis is that at the time, 9500 BC, this region was in fact an island \"Manuschevich\"<\/a>bounded on the west by a waterway roughly following the course of today\u2019s Suez Canal and on the east by a widened Dead Sea and Jordan River with a northern outlet to the Mediterranean. Manuschevich claims that instead of thinking in terms of Atlantis sinking into the sea we should consider the possibility that the sea<\/em> sank separating the Dead Sea, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea resulting in earlier waterways becoming impassable to voyagers. To support his theory Manuschevich cites geological and historical evidence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He bases his views on the generally accepted fact that the earliest civilisations were to be found in the Middle East. Manuschevich wrote a paper, outlining what he perceives are geographical errors contained in Plato\u2019s tale, for presentation to the Melos Atlantis Conference<\/a> in 2005(a)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Q & A session from 2005 is also worth a read(c)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2006, he engaged in lengthy exchanges with Johann Saltzman<\/a> in a forum on the now defunct Atlantis Rising<\/em> website(b)<\/sup>. <\/b>Further ‘Atlantis in Israel’ debates took place on the AR forum in 2007(d)(e)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2002, Manuschevich published La Atl\u00e1ntida, el mito descifrado (<\/em>Atlantis, the Deciphered Myth)<\/em>, in Spanish and in 2008, he self-published Israel was Atlantis, <\/em>in English, in Santiago, Chile, but I have been unable to locate a copy. (ISBN 978-956-319-270-4)<\/p>\n
