V<\/strong>ineta<\/strong> was a legendary city on the Baltic in what is now the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The city was destroyed when it sank into the sea and thought by some to be the source of the Atlantis story. It is reputed to have existed near the north German city of Barth.<\/p>\n

\"vinetakarte\"<\/a>It was considered to be the most important trading city in Europe with links as far as the Mediterranean. The Arabic writer Ibrahim Ibn Yaqub described it (c. 970) as \u201ca large city by the ocean with twelve gates, the greatest of all cities in Europe, farthest north-west in the country of Misiko (Poland) in the marshes by the ocean\u201d.(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup><\/p>\n

Doris Manner<\/a> has written a book[<\/sup>466<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> on the subject and also has a website(<\/sup>b<\/sup>)<\/sup>, which is available in German and English. She courageously identifies Atlantis with Vineta, Titans<\/a> with Teutons and Vineta, in the past referred to as Niniveta, with the Nineveh of the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A more conventional history of the lost Baltic city is offered by Ingrid & P. Werner Lange in their Vineta, Atlantis des Nordens (Vineta: Atlantis of the North)<\/em>[1125<\/a>].<\/sup>. Two other German researchers who are also on the trail of Vineta, are Dr. Klaus Goldmann (Vineta: Die Wiederentdeckung einer versunkenen Stadt<\/em>) and G\u00fcnter Wermusch (Das Vineta R\u00e4tsel<\/em>)<\/p>\n

The excellent German website, Atlantisforschung.de<\/a><\/em>, offers further information about Manner’s work.(d) <\/sup><\/p>\n
