description: "Eberhard Zangger is a German geoarchaeologist, communications consultant, and publicist. He became known primarily for his controversial theories on the Bronze Age history of the eastern Mediterranean region. His hypotheses on Troy and Atlantis in particular were met with widespread skepticism among his colleagues, as were some of his hypotheses on the Luwians. Zangger's work has repeatedly been likened to parascience. He is the founder and president of the Luwian Studies Foundation, which was established in April 2014 and is dedicated to researching the Bronze Age cultures of Western Anatolia."
