Robert Sarmast
claims to have found proof of Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus. As I've said before, I have no doubt that there are remains of a city off the coast of Cyprus, but that does not make it Atlantis.
Apparently, writer Colin Wilson has gone along for the ride.
I am interested in Sarmast's theory that the Mediterranean was formed much more recently than is currently believed and have often thought this myself. A sudden burst of the Atlantic into the Mediterranean basin and resultant diaspora would go a long way towards explaining the Great Flood myths of the ancients. I would imagine that the sea floor is littered with submerged ruins and they could be easily found if ancient trade routes were studied closely.
