"Atlantida" by Pierre Benoit is a fantasy novel published in 1919. Set in the French Algerian Sahara in 1896, the story follows two officers investigating missing comrades. They are captured and brought before Queen Antinea, a descendant of Atlantis's rulers, who keeps her lovers preserved in wall niches—currently fifty-three of one hundred twenty.
