Paulino<\/strong> Z<\/strong>amarro<\/strong>, <\/strong>born in 1947, in Cantalejo, Segovia, Spain and is now living \"Paulino<\/a>in Madrid. He is an industrial engineer specialising in chemistry and has worked for over twenty years on environmental studies. Among his ecological publications, in Spanish, is a\u00a0monograph on a\u00a0wetland near his birthplace – T<\/em>he<\/em> L<\/em>agoons<\/em> of<\/em> C<\/em>atalejo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He is also the author of\u00a0 D<\/em>el <\/em>E<\/em>strecho de <\/em>G<\/em>ibraltar a la <\/em>A<\/em>tlantida (From the Strait of Gibraltar to Atlantis)<\/em>[0024<\/sup>]<\/sup>, in which he puts forward a number of radical ideas. \u00a0He first proposes that an\u00a0isthmus at the Strait of Gibraltar had been created as a result of silting. He then claims that at the end of the last Ice Age this landbridge was breached leading to the destruction of Atlantis. Both Strato<\/a> and Seneca refer to the breaking of the Gibraltar dam. Zamarro dates the breach to circa 5500 BC.<\/p>\n

He places Atlantis in the Cyclades<\/a> in the Eastern Mediterranean, which had originally been a single landmass and identifies a tiny island called Pori north of the island of Antikythera as the site of the Pillars of Heracles. Fifteen years later Christos A. Djonis<\/a> proposed a location in the same region without giving any credit to Zamarro. He highlighted the multiplicity of locations that have been designated as the site of the ‘Pillars’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To-date the book\u00a0has only been published in Spanish, although Zamarro is anxious to have it published in English. His ideas are summarised on a website(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup> promoting the book,\u00a0which can be translated by\u00a0your browser.<\/p>\n

Zamarro has recently added a further site(b)<\/sup> where the first 100 pages of his book\u00a0(in Spanish) can be read online. A revised second edition of his book was published in 2012\u00a0with the slightly shortened title of De Gibraltar a la Atl\u00e1ntida <\/em>and also available in the Kindle format.<\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong>March 4th 2021 saw Pablo Rodr\u00edguez Cantos publish a review(c)<\/sup> (in Spanish) of Zamarro’s book, which can be read in English here<\/a>.<<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
