Maybe some are under the Antarctic ice. The earth is pockmarked with impact craters; this was not known until recent satellite photos. Dinosaurs were unknown until the 19th century. Schliemann was right about Troy and Mycenae. I never bought that bit about Santorini's being Atlantis. Plato said it was in the Atlantic.

Let me toss out a little challenge to you. Here goes: Atlantis is reputed to have concentric waterways around it. What was the purpose of the waterways? (Now, toss out the most obvious, defense...and give me you best shot). What other purpose might they have had?
