Swedish Geographer Believes Ireland Was Atlantis
A blog at http://dotie.wordpress.com refers to a book by Swedish geographer Ulf Erlingsson that says that Ireland is actually the last continent of Atlantis. The book is called Atlantis from a Geographer’s Perspective: Mapping the Fairyland. It was published in 2004.
Erlingsson takes Plato’s description of Atlantis in his 360 B.C. treatise, Timaios, and compares it with the geography of Ireland, for example, that both Atlantis and Ireland are islands ringed by mountains with a flat plain in the middle. He says that Ireland, like Atlantis, is 300 miles long and 200 miles wide.
