Atlantis reborn

I have seen the light.
What do you get when you mix mythology with technology, passion with spirituality, Gods with history, and ordinary people with extraordinary ideas?
Atlantis reborn!
I have just suggested this concept to a friend of mine who has a truly wonderful idea he wants to take to the world, to engage us all in conversations that will shape our future.
Atlantis can be anything, but when you talk to people about it, they all have this wonderful image in their minds about a long-gone mystical place that was supposed to be the epicentre of technology and wonder in its time.
And they all exhibit a certain sense of longing - many people seem to have a strong emotional tie to the stories and concepts surrounding the Atlantis myth.
In fact, at least three scientific teams are currently searching for the lost City - as have many people before them.
Atlantis tugs at our Mind, pulling us towards something fantastical and wonderful, drawing us in as if it where the very centre of gravity that shapes our world.
What does Atlantis mean to you?
Hope? Discovery?
I'm going to start the Atlantis Revolution, create a web site, and a dedicated blog. Through you, I am going to find Atlantis!

I Love your vision Pete. And as anyone serious about deep water swimming knows, the "buddy system" is crucial.

If you're up for swimming to Atlantis, I know I need a buddy....
