 Subsequently, there was a shift in Michell's emphasis as he became increasingly interested in the landscapes in which he believed that ley lines could be found rather than the UFOs themselves.He wrote an article on "Lung Mei and the Dragon Paths of England" for a September 1967 issue of "Image" magazine, in which he compared British ley-lines to the Chinese mythological idea of "lung mei" lines, arguing that this was evidence of a widespread pre-Christian dragon cult in ancient Britain.He built on these ideas for "The View Over Atlantis", a book which he privately published in 1969, with a republication following three years later.
