Reimagining Atlantis

Robert Hubner's computer analysis of Plato's Atlantis

This episode I thought I would share with you a nugget I found about three years back while visiting Nashville Tennessee. This is where I went to visit the replica Parthenon and was trapped in a hotel with little to do.

Michael Hubner was a was a German researcher who presented to the 2008 Atlantis Conference in Athens, a carefully reasoned argument for placing Atlantis in North-West Africa on the Souss-Massa plain of Morocco. He has gathered and organized a range of geographical details and other clues contained in Plato’s text,which he maintained lead inexorably to Morocco.

Hübner also published a number of video clips on his website in support of his theory. He begins with a lucid demonstration of a Hierarchical Constraint Satisfaction (HCS) approach to solving the mystery. These clips offer a body of evidence which are perhaps the most impressive that I have encountered in the course of many years of research.

Tragically, Michael Hübner died in December 2013 as a result of a cycling accident. He left a valuable contribution to Atlantis studies. Mark Adams met Hübner shortly before his death, so in March 2015 when Adams  book, Meet me in Atlantis, was published, the ensuing media attention probably gave Hübner’s theory more publicity than when he was alive!
