He clearly identifies the Guanches of the Canary Islands with the Atlanteans and describes the invasion of North Africa<\/a> by the Atlanteans and Amazons<\/a> after the submergence of their homeland. Apart from the evidence of Diodorus, he has based his conclusions on geological observations, which were that Atlantis had been a large island continent<\/a> that existed in the Atlantic. He claimed that volcanic activity destroyed most of this island, forcing the Atlanteans to invade Europe and eventually to war with the Athenians. Bory believed that the Canaries<\/a>, Madeiras<\/a> and Azores<\/a> are all that are left of this once great continent!\u00a0\"Bory<\/a><\/p>\n

However, in a letter dated 15\/11\/1822, that recently went on sale, he confessed that his earlier theories were\u00a0wrong(a)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
