Werner Wickboldt (born 1943 in Kiel) is a German teacher at a vocational school in Brunswick, and the original author of a hypothesis about a location of Plato's Atlantis City.
Atlantean hypothesis
Wickboldt claimed that Atlantis was located at Doñana Park, Huelva, Andalusia, Spain at precisely (36°57'25"N / 6°22'58"E).
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 a coastline, an island inside of a river or a river delta. Working with satellite images Wickboldt identified a part of a system of rings which he thought fitted to those that Plato described. [1].
The first public presentation of these results took place in the summer 1997 in Utersum/Föhr in Nordfriesland.
In January 2003[2], Wickboldt held a lecture about the Sea Peoples, describing his hypothesis on the possible existence of supposed rectangular and circular ruins. He believed that those ruins, in Doñana Park, Spain, were the legendary Atlantis, through analysis of photographies obtained by a Hindu Satellite. Wickboldt claimed these possible ruins could correspond to the temples of Poseidon and Cleito of the Acropolis of Atlantis. Satellite images of the area show two rectangular structures and concentric circles which have been hypothesized to be the "temple of Poseidon" and "the temple of Cleito and Poseidon".[3]
Wickboldt suggested that the Atlanteans were the Sea Peoples who attacked the Eastern Mediterranean countries around 1200 BC, or proto-Tartessian peoples of the Bronze Age (1800-1300 BC).[4] The Andalusian hypothesis was originally developed by the Spanish authors José Pellicer de Ossau i Tovar[5] in 1673 and Juan Fernández Amador y de los Ríos[6] in 1919, and afterwards by the German author Adolf Schulten in 1922, and further studied by Otto Jessen and Richard Hennig in the 1920s. All these authors designate only the area, indicate however no exact position. This took place first via Wickboldt.
Geologists have shown that the Donana National Park experienced intense erosion around 600 BC, where it became a marine environment. [7] Due to alluvial sedimentation, the entire area has been above water again since the end of the Roman Empire. [8].
