Werner Wickboldt

Werner Wickboldt (born 1943 in Kiel) is a German teacher at a vocational school in Brunswick, and an amateur Atlantis researcher.
Atlantean hypothesis
Wickboldt claimed that Atlantis was located at Doñana Park, Huelva, Andalusia, Spain.
He is convinced that the events which are connected with Atlantis took place around 1200 B.C. and that the Atlanteans are identical to the Sea Peoples. He started his attempt to find the location of Atlantis in 1992 and proceeded independently of the well-known Atlantis theories, using only the text of Plato and the interpretation of ´nesos´ as an island inside a river or a river delta. Working with satellite images Wickboldt identified a part of a system of rings which he thought fitted those that Plato described.
The first public presentation of these results took place in the summer 1997 in Utersum/Föhr in Nordfriesland.
In July 2007 Wickboldt held a lecture about the possible existence of rectangular and circular ruins in the Doñana National Park. He believed that these ruins, in Doñana National Park, Spain, were the legendary Atlantis, through analysis of photographies obtained by a Hindu Satellite. It is not known if any of these shapes are natural or manmade and archaeological excavations are planned.
Wickboldt suggested that the Atlanteans were the Sea Peoples who attacked the Eastern Mediterranean countries around 1200 BC.
Geologists have shown that the Doñana National Park experienced intense erosion from 4000 BC until century IX AD.
A team of archaeologists examines the Atlantis theory since 2005. The scientists of the CSIC have published the results of their work in the annual of the CSIC.
