Atlantis Hunt Reveals Structures in Sea Off Cyprus
Sat Nov 13, 2004 06:33 AM ET
NICOSIA (Reuters) - An American researcher on the trail of the lost city of Atlantis has discovered evidence of man-made structures submerged in the sea between Cyprus and Syria, a member of his team said Saturday. Robert Sarmast, who is convinced the fabled city lurks in the watery depths off Cyprus, will give details of his findings Sunday.
"Something has been found to indicate very strongly that there are man-made structures somewhere between Cyprus and Syria," a spokesperson for the mission told Reuters.
The mystery of Atlantis, both whether it existed and why it disappeared, has fired the imagination of explorers for decades.
Many believe the ancient civilization was destroyed in a massive flood, a cataclysm which many ancient cultures believe occurred around 9,000 BC.
Greek mythology says Atlantis was a powerful nation whose residents were so corrupted by greed and power that Zeus destroyed it.
Theories place Atlantis either somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, or the Greek island of Santorini, or off the Celtic Ridge of Britain or even further afield in the South China Sea.
Sarmast's theory is that Cyprus is the pinnacle of Atlantis, with the rest of it about a mile below sea level.
His expedition took place some 70 miles off the eastern coast of Cyprus toward Syria
I've changed my thoughts on the location of Atlantis within the last year. Now, I believe it is on Sundaland in the South China Sea.
GGG Ping.
They'll probably find Hoffa there or an old refrigerator.
I thought they just proved it was on another planet.
Ya gotta go through a Stargate to get there.
One more tax heaven bites the dust. Blasted tax collectors!
Maybe it could become a haven for the DUmmies distraught about the election . . .
Now brace yourself for the discovery of ancient SUV's and the cautionary tales about global warming.
THIS COULD BE YOU !

The Search For Atlantis 'Ends At Ayia Napa' (Cyprus)
There is a possibility Atlantis was destryoyed as a result of the massive volcanic explosion that occurred at Santorini, some time during the Greek era.
Lords of Atlantis
by Wallace West
"In the dim past, men had fled to Mars for refuge, but now the red planet was a dying world, and the Martians returned to colonize Earth and rule over the Titans - descendants of those who had stayed behind at the time of the now-legendary catastrophe. But the rulers of the Titans, retained by the conquerors on their ancestral thrones, grew restless under the benevolent progress of the Lords of Atlantis, looked back to a so-called "golden age," and plotted rebellion. Here is a thrilling novel of what might have been the basis of the the Great Legends that have come down to us: of the "gods," of Atlantis, of Zeus, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Jason, Medea - and of a mighty empire which was weighed in the balance and found wanting!"

If Sarmast has carried the investigation this far, it's time to bring in the best. Where's Jerry Rivers?
'evidence of man-made structures'
what is that supposed to mean?
Santorini exploded in 1628BC. I don't believe this was the end of Atlantis...Plato said 9,000 years ago. I do believe the 1628BC explosion of Santorini/Akatori/Thera provided the 'action' for the Jewish Exodus out of Egypt though.
Ironically, a fellow named Joseph Nazi owned the island in the 1300's.
Structures with un-natural angles.
example?
