Joseph Bosco (?- 1931), according to David Hatcher Childress<\/a>, was an archaeologist, who identified Malta<\/a> as the location of Atlantis in 1922. He seems to have been greatly influenced by the research of Giorgio\u00a0Grongnet de Vasse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Spanish writer, Javier Sierra, also refers to Bosco, but is probably just quoting the earlier work by Childress.
