Wouldn't the Holy Grail of archaeology be to find the actual Holy Grail?

Hehe. On another note, maybe I'm not picturing this right, but it doesn't seem to me that there'd be much excitement in finding the remnants of a city that crumbled 6000 meters into the ocean after a stupendous earthquake. We wouldn't be talking about temple columns and marble statues here - more like temple pebbles and marble dust...

I guess there might be some neat metal artifacts though.

LOL! Good point :) Actually I think Indiana Jones already did that, and it turns out you can't take the Grail past the seal or else there's an earthquake which buries the Grail and also causes George Lucas to take two decades to make the next sequel.
