INTRODUCTION
`Atlantis`—the very name conjures up fantastic images in the mind. A magical island, paradise on earth—home to an enchanted race of gifted and highly intelligent beings. Artists and craftsmen who sculpt exquisite works of art, scientists and innovators capable of devising technology far beyond their times!
All lost forever beneath the turbulent waves of a watery grave.
Without doubt, all this is quintessential material for a myth to end all myths. It exemplifies the essential formula for all good stories: the conflict between good and evil, the terrible fate of an arrogant people, the damsel in distress, and of course—the heroic journey.
The Atlantis myth probably forms the origin of traditional myths such as the knight`s quest for the Holy Grail or the Wandering Jew eternally searching for his paradise. In any case, the legend of a mighty deluge, which wipes out a degenerating civilization—finds echoes in most religions.
