This is really interesting. I hope that they will do the excavations there soon....

Thanks for the post Aileron. That is a fascinating read and should be a fantastic exploration. Hopefully we'll hear some further news before long.

A german scientist who explored the region in question this summer, says its only a mud vilcano, and Sarmast exaggerated to promote his book.

Atlantis almost a mile below the surface of the Mediteranian in a region with little seismic activty!? This is more than exaggerated, this is bad stile (bad science)!
The Mediteranian was dry once, of course, but that was 6 million years ago, not 11000 years ago (or 3200 years ago according to the Atlantis=Troi hypothesis)
In my opinion the Atlantis=Troi (Troja) hypothesis has all the merits.

IMNSHO ^ Another pseudo scientific fraud.  
I wonder how many hundreds of thousands $ were wasted on this.

According to some studies I did for a project last summer, this sounds like it's in the right area in the Meditteranean....
