is appropriate. His Atlantis books are not all fiction: See. I am aware that those are not reliable sources, but since they are on opposite sides of the skepticism-gullibility spectrum, it is pretty clear that they are right in saying he does indeed believe Atlantis exists. --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:11, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Influence on Graham Hancock
In Fingerprints of the Gods, Hancock writes that just when he was at a spiritual and physical low ebb in 1993 he got a letter from Flem-Ath saying that he and his wife and finished the manuscript for When the Sky Fell but were frustrated to find that mentioning Atlantis closed the minds of publishers. Flem-Ath enclosed an outline and offered to send the manuscript. Hancock writes that "I turned to the enclosure and there, in the first few paragraphs, found the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle I had been looking for. It meshed perfectly with the ancient global maps I had studied...." He also noted two other major connections the Flem-Aths made, one being the idea of earth-crust displacement due to gravitational forces, shifting land from warmer areas to the poles, and the second being that the land shifted to the South Pole might have been the home of an ancient civilization. pp 445-449.

21st Century
The bio box says 'period: 20th century', but 3 out of 4 of the books in the bibliography were published after 2000. Shouldn't period be 21st cent., or at least 20th and 21st? Kdevans (talk) 18:37, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
