Atlantis found?

[zenmaster]

The idea here is to believe "as if" there was Atlantis found. The "lost city" being found is allegory for the "hero" finding a source of light within their unconscious.
With that in mind, no one really cares if there is an actual city. The metaphor is an infinitely more suggestive, provocative, and compelling draw for the imagination to play with than any historical reality.

That level of archeology would be called an inner-archeology (of the mind) lol.

Lacking the factual support, that's what's going on. People resonating with suggestive material and so the "idea of" the city. It's actually funny that people don't understand and don't care that historical and factual are inseparable. You can't have one without the other. The humor comes from the personal frame of desire distorting an actual reality with bullshit to merely indulge whim and then from such dishonesty vigorously handwave to promote the replacement. Yes, a great service to mankind.

There is no diligent research available on this topic,

Ah but there is tons of diligent research, just lack of facts. That never stopped people from presenting non-factual information as factual (in a non-diligent, and dishonest manner).
