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

Like Camelot.

O well, may as well try to decouple some history from myth.

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.

Aw, gee! You don't mean to tell me that Arthur's Camelot is a myth. Now, it's known that Kennedy's Camelot was fraudulent, but surely not Arthur's.
