		Rudbeck lived a remarkable life in 17th-century Sweden as a sort of renaissance man. He achieved advances in several diverse fields such as medicine, archeology and education.
		As for Rudbeck, after his death in 1702 his name became synonymous with wild speculation - and was even coined as a verb, "to Rudbeck" - for the next several generations in Europe.
		We see Rudbeck as a dreamer led astray into the realm of fantasy by his passionate urge to fill in the gaps of knowledge.

	Swedish scholar of late 17th-century fascinates
		It was during that period Swedish nationalist and professor at Uppsala University, Olof Rudbeck, lived with what was at once an understandable and, at the same time, very strange obsession.
		Like many before and since, Rudbeck set out to locate Atlantis, first described by Plato in his dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias.” Rudbeck, however, was convinced it was in Sweden, and more peculiarly, that the town of Uppsala was the capital of the mythical city.
		Rudbeck also came to believe the Greek alphabet had its roots in the Swedish runes.

	Finding Atlantis: A True Story of Genius, Madness, and an Extraordinary Quest for a Lost World » Bookgasm
		For a while, Rudbeck was the toast of Sweden’s academia world, running both an autopsy theater-style classroom and a spacious botanical garden.
		But when the country’s economy took a downturn and salaries went unpaid, Rudbeck pursued a most unusual desire to find the sites of the stories of his beloved mythology, firmly believing them to be true.
		This is where the book hits a slow point, taking interest in too much political manuvering at the expense of losing the somewhat loopy narrative.
