The Man from Atlantis

I read today in a Dutch Internet Rag that an expedition is being set up to find Atlantis. That is, the people leading the expedition believe that they have already found it and are setting out to prove they are right (I can see the Horizon Documentary already.. Dramatic Music.. Atlantis has been found.. *Cue Cheery Music*.... but wait.. *Cue dramatic music* it is all a lie/farce/based on fiction not fact *Cue sad wistful music* Conclusion: Prrrrrt.. fade..out...).

http://www.discoveryofatlantis.com/ and the more respectable BBC link.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4011545.stm

The expedition is setting sail for Cyprus, the purported remainder of Atlantis. It is claimed that most of Cyprus is now under Sea level, which made it a peninsula of Syria in Ancient times. Atlantis was hit by a deluge which turned it into the distinctive shape Cyprus has now.

I wonder if the Turkish or Greek part was hit. I anticipate a great wrangle for control over this subaqueous city/country. If it is ever proven.

The theory is that there are man-made structures found when there should be none... *insert environmental dig here*.

Anyway, it will probably all fizzle out and we will more than likely hear of their prostrate defeat before long.

Can't wait to be proven wrong, though!
