"I remember there was a lady,2-3 years ago working on photographing a submerged city about 4000 feet deep off the southeast coast of Cuba who had the backing of National Geographic.I wonder whatever happened there?
Not much. Click here for the latest update I can find. Also, the US State department convinced National Geographic to pull funding because of the company's affiliation to the communist government of Cuba.

Once there, we are going to lower this copper capsule which is going to contain the flags of Cyprus, the EU and a flag bearing the symbol of Atlantis, he said. What a dopey thing to do.

A "Big Thank You" BUMP For That! I missed viewing those latest 'deep' pictures last year.

"an expedition that he hopes will result in the discovery of the lost island of Atlantis...when the scientists submerge a copper canister with the flags of Cyprus, the EU and a specially designed Atlantis flag five hours out at sea from Limassol port...where he believes was the plain of Atlantis"
"This discovery is the holy grail of all archaeological discoveries...The world could never be the same after this discovery. We celebrate the joining of Cyprus with the EU with this flag ceremony and we are going to sail over the area where we believe the cities of Atlantis were located...we hope some day in the future the world will once again find it and remember this day long after we hopefully discovered the temples of Atlantis.Totally, irreversibly, hopelessly, nuts!
Also, apparently rich enough to hire a boat to prove it.

I know how this guy feels...I usually had the same visions when I bought penny stocks several years ago. On the other hand, berhaps he has some retinal damage, seeing pyramid shaped objects, rectangles etc. Then again, I never blew $250,000 in the chances I took...perhaps I too would be seeing things.

No kidding. What's the point of the flags? What, is he expecting to make contact with the ancient Atlanteans? He better be careful, because last time I checked, they're hostile to surface dwellers.

"... Sarmast said the search for Atlantis would be based on a series of clues left by Plato, including a very detailed description of the island as it was told by an ancient Egyptian priest to Solon, who in turn brought the story to Greece ..."
Wow.
Is he referring to the "very detailed description" that included the phrase "beyond the Pillars of Heracles?"

"Is he referring to the "very detailed description" that included the phrase "beyond the Pillars of Heracles?" Presumably. When that was said, I expect it would be the same as if we were to say today, "Just north of New York." (and, there will come a time when the exact location of New York isn't known)

"beyond the Pillars of Heracles?" This location is always said to be the area of Gibralter. Could it refer to somewhere else, perhaps something near Egypt?
