The 15the century cartographers included Atlantis into the world map, purely out of imagination. When America was discovered, it was thought the Atlantis had been unearthed. Gradually the interest in this mysterious island gave birth to a new science department Atlantology, in the 19^th century. The prominent member of Atlantology was the American politician and member of the US congress, Ignatius Donnelly. He published a book “Atlantis: The Antediluvian world”. The book became a best seller.

Donnelly observed some comparisons between pre-Columbian civilizations and ancient Egyptian culture. He gave the example of pyramids, mummy and the art of developing 364 day calendar. He emphasised that the two civilizations had a common seed – Atlantis. And after its destruction, both the civilization grew up differently.

Donnelly took the help of archaeology, mythology, ethnology, geology and botany. He scientifically prepared the documents and proved that Atlantis existed. Many believed in Donnelly’s theory.

Even after 23 centuries, the controversy haunts – truth or fiction? So much so that many have taken advantage of the situation and have started weaving uncommon stories about black magic, clairvoyance etc.

Plato believed that Atlantis was in the Atlantic itself. This led to serious research and historians found out that once there existed a continent in the middle of the ocean. According to these historians, the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands, the Canaries and Madeira were the mountain peaks of Atlantis.
