"It's a lot of fun to imagine a great ancient city lost beneath the waves, but that's all it is. The fact remains, there was no record of the Atlantis myth anywhere, ever, in any language, before Plato's stories."

They called Henrich Schleimann an idiot for using Homer's The Illiad as a guide to finding Troy.....until he found it. Then, they called him brilliant.
