"Atlantis is a myth, a literary construct of a far-off world, a perfect golden age,"

Like Camelot.

I was thinking more like "The Village," I guess it was the golden age (retirement) that made me think of Number 6. Bottom-line, one person's paradise is another's hell - so wasting time looking for some earthquake doomed old pile of rocks, that may have had a few farmer's daughters milking goats on it, if it ever supported life, is nothing more than an effort at milking the system for grant money.

Nah, don't think so. The reason we know so little about Atlantis is because it was so far in the past...maybe 9,000 years .
