\"\"<\/a>Heligoland<\/strong> (Heligoland, formerly known as Heyleigeland or \u2018Holy Land\u2019 is an island situated in the North Sea off the coast of Germany with a smaller uninhabited D\u00fcne Island to the east. They were a British possession from 1807 until 1890. Today, it is again German territory and has around 1200 inhabitants, who speak a dialect of the North Frisian language. Interestingly, the controversial Oera Linda Book <\/a>was allegedly written on the nearby Frisian Islands in the Frisian language. Decades later, Walter Baucum <\/a>also adopted Heligoland as the location of the Atlantean capital.<\/p>\n

J\u00fcrgen Spanuth<\/a>‘suddenly’ alerted the English-speaking world of Atlantology to the possible significance of Heligoland in the 1970s, when he published Atlantis of the North<\/em> [0015<\/a>]<\/sup>, which claimed it as the location of Plato\u2019s Atlantis. <\/b>However, Spanuth omitted to mention that in the 1930s, Heinrich Pudor<\/a> had already nominated Heligoland as Plato’s Island! [<\/sup>1693<\/sup><\/a>][<\/sup>1694<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>, <\/b>but was unreferenced by Spanuth. Rudolf Czeppan<\/a> also endorsed Spanuth’s theory.<\/p>\n

Heligoland today is only a fraction of its size in earlier centuries(a)<\/sup>. There is a tradition that it was once joined to the German mainland. It was also an important source of copper<\/a> in Northern Europe. (In the map here, Heligoland is shown as the two small islands in the shaded area). Furthermore, it has also been described as formerly the highest point in Doggerland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heligoland is also home to something found nowhere else on the planet, namely, red silex, or flint, apparently highly prized during the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages(c)<\/span><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

In 2012, M.A. Joramo<\/a> published Atlantis Unveiled <\/em>[<\/sup>1076<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> in which he also placed Atlantis on Heligoland in a theory heavily influenced by J\u00fcrgen Spanuth and Felice Vinci<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Archbishop\u2019 Uwe Rosenkranz has claimed in a 2022 paper that Atlantis had been situated in Heligoland \u2013 \u201cEgypt inscriptions from newer archeological excavations seem to prove the theory that ATLANTIS was a modern high technology nation in western Europe with center at the shores of the Northern sea- today\u00b4s Helgoland.\u201d<\/em>(d)<\/sup><\/p>\n
