George Michanowsky (1920–1993) was an American archaeologist who discovered some markings on Bolivian rocks in 1956. In 1977 he published a book called The Once and Future Star in which he explained his theory of supernova explosion on a constellation named Vela which happened 7,000 years ago. In the same work he also mentions that Atlantis is called NI-DUK-KI in Sumerian texts and is used to be Isle of the Blest before the flood. Later on, as he explained, after the flood, it was named Dilmun. His theory isn't well received by other scientists in the same field; For example David Hatcher Childress argues that it is impossible for Atlantis to be Dilmun since its one of the Bahrain islands. Michanowsky also suggested that global warming played an effect in Atlantis disappearance.
