Atland

Atland, or Aldland as it is sometimes spelt, is the name applied to Atlantis by the Oera Linda Book, now known to be a hoax.. Said to have been destroyed in a conflagration of nature in 2194 BC, it was allegedly located in what is now the North Sea. All dates in the Oera Linda Book are reckoned from this event. "Note": some early researchers gave the year as 2193 BC, but this is based on an erroneous calculation that assumes the existence of a 'Year Zero' between 1 BC and AD 1, which does not in fact exist.

"Atland" is also the Swedish title of Olof Rudbeck's book that came out in several volumes, starting in 1679. The Latin parallel title is "Atlantica", and the subtitle of both is "Manheim", i.e. the 'home of mankind'. Atland means 'fatherland', and it was the original name of Atlantis according to Rudbeck.
