I<\/strong>srael<\/strong> and the Sinai Peninsula are promoted(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup> as the location of Atlantis by Jaime Manuschevich<\/a>. His contention is based on what he claims were the different geographical perceptions of the Egyptians and Greeks that led to Plato misinterpreting Solon\u2019s notes and erroneously placing Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean. He presented his radical views at the 2005 Atlantis Conference.<\/p>\n

On his website, Manuchevich outlines the reasoning behind his theory(b<\/sup>)<\/sup>\u00a0in a series of blogs. He also offers further insights in an old Atlantis Rising<\/em> forum(c<\/sup>)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

More tangible but no more credible is the site of Atlit-Yam <\/a>of the coast of Israel, which the media insist on referring to as \u201cIsrael\u2019s Atlantis\u201d.

The region is home to Gilgal Refaim<\/a>, an archaeological site consisting of several concentric stone walls with demonstrable astronomical alignments. In a US promotional radio interview, the subject of Atlantis was touched on by Pitterson and was later highlighted by the UK’s Express newspaper with the hackneyed ‘Atlantis Found?’ headline(d<\/span><\/sup>)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Between the 16th and the 19th centuries a number of commentators added a theological element to the search for Atlantis by identifying it with the Holy Land<\/a>.<\/p>\n
