This view was a consequence of identifying Homer\u2019s Ogygia<\/a>, the island of Calypso, with Atlantis. He then assumed that Sardinia<\/a> was a remnant of this island.This led to his identification of the Gulf of Tunis as the location of the Pillars of Heracles. The original French text of Book III, which relates to Atlantis can be read online(a)<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delisle de Sales, writing in the 18th century cited an anonymous source who placed Atlantis in Taprobane, considered at the time to be a reference to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), not Dhani Irwanto’s<\/a> Indonesian Kilmantan.<\/p>\n

Michael Hissmann (1752-1784) who translated the first book of Delisle de Sales’ Histoire <\/em>into German added his own commentary that supported an Atlantic location for Atlantis.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Delisle de Sales included Fabre d\u2019Olivet<\/a>, the occultist, in his social circle.<\/p>\n
