Davezilla linked to this Update on Underwater Megalithic Structures near Western Cuba...

Ah, pseudo-archaeology at its best... This has some interesting moments, but the quality of the report is just what I'd expect from a pseudoarchaeologist.
This is most likely a lost MesoAmerican society, rather than Atlantis (which has shifted locations more often than a bored nomad).
The author jumps to conclusions, linking extremely simple shapes & characters to Western European societies (the example of the American Cross -- two ovals crossing each other is an extremely basic drawing... to claim it came from the Minoans is, well, a ludicrous claim at best).
One of the most offensive parts of this article, from an archaeological point of view is Frank Joseph's statement, "Where did they [the Etruscans] get written language? It's possible that what we're looking at in Etruscan is a variation of the Atlantean language."
Is it not possible that they were smart enough to develop it on their own? The Egyptians did; so did the Mayan. Not to mention the Chinese, who developed written language over 4000 years ago. Arguments like this devalue the worth of the society they're used against; it's like saying there must have been aliens in Egypt, because how could they possibly have built those huge pyramids on their own?
