- In 1910 Frobenius announced that he had evidence of the existence of Atlantis in Africa. In his introductions to the legends and mythologies of the different ethnic groups covered by these 12 volumes, he traces the cultural and historical backgrounds of tribes that have, meanwhile, been overtaken by civilisation. The factual material he collected remains of considerable value.
