How they got the permits for this bizarre project, I have no idea. They plan to finance the thing by selling underwater gravesites on the reef, weirdly. Qualifies for the "Weird Florida" book, IMO.

Absolutely nothing surprises me in a town/city where the locals warn you away from walking outdoors at 3:00 in the afternoon! I promise you we (hubby and I) were warned off walking in downtown Miami on a Sunday afternoon recently. In broad daylight. In front of God and everybody. As my husband is wont to say: "We're not ready for self-government."

Ok so they'll build it to look like Atlantis. Then some tragedy will befall mankind and we'll forget we built it. Then some underwater archaelogists will come along and decide Eureka I've found Atlantis.

Can't wait to hear the interpretations of the greek writings that explain how it wound up in FL.

Whether they are made out of sunken ships, aircraft or concrete blocks, artificial reefs attract marine life which attracts recreational divers who spend dollars in the local economy.

Its no weirder than building a fake castle in Orlando and expecting tourists to come and spend money to see it.

Bah, Atlantis is under the South Atlantic Ocean. Atlantis roughly surrounds Tristan de Cuhna. Atlantis is scientifically advanced, hiding most evidence of its existence, but it cannot hide The South Atlantic Anomaly.

(This is known to all people who know the Earth is hollow, with a hole at the North Pole from which Santa emerges every Christmas, but the governments, especially the Secret Mystic Heriditary Tibetan Monks who secretly manage the world (except Pittsburgh, which is unmanagable) hush it all up.)

There is a boatload of new-agers who worship the myths of Atlantis. According to this bunch, crystals powered Atlantis and had great healing powers.
