David Hatcher Childress, one of the most flagrant violators of basic archaeological reasoning, has provided perhaps the most outrageous racialized vision of Atlantis. In discussing <a href="/wiki/Tiahuanaco" class="mw-redirect" title="Tiahuanaco">Tiahuanaco</a> in Bolivia—as a palace built long before any Native South Americans were present—Childress proposes that the majestic site could only have been constructed by the "Atlantean League." The league was composed of mythic seafarers who "sailed the world spreading a megalithic culture, and wore red turbans <i>over their blond hair</i>" (Childress 1986: 139, emphasis added). Nowhere did <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a>, the only actual source on Atlantis, mention the blond hair of the Atlanteans. Plato did mention that the men and women of Atlantis, being semi-divine, were inherently good . . . The correlation between goodness and whiteness is thus obvious in Childress's formulation and in much else that has been written about Atlantis. </p> <div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Charles E.
