Was Sweden Atlantis?

Bettany Hughes has written a delightful article, Carving out the buried secrets of the lost city of Atlantis, for The Telegraph. She is convinced that the mega-volcanic eruption that destroyed Thera on the present-day island of Santorini eventually transformed itself into the Atlantis myth.

Although I disagree with her, I love her research. She has discovered that:

… Olaus Rudbeck’s who (as well as discovering the lymph system) spent 30 years in the 17th century writing 3,000 pages to prove Atlantis was in fact Sweden.

How delightful! Why not. If Ireland could be Atlantis, as some folks believe, then why not Sweden!
