I don't know what it is that causes these reactions in people who feel they have found Atlantis.  Nikas and Mario  have used almost the exact same words even.  To reveal the island would be dangerous.  That everyone is totally wrong.  They both were in a panic over the Swastika.  They both thought their lives were in danger because of what they found.  They both jumped from one subject to another and it was hard to get any cohesion or fluidity into the theory.  Nikas has calmed down a lot since then, and I hope over time Mario can stay grounded as well. 

That sounds like conspiracy theorist thinking!  You have to wonder why people would be wondering why anyone would be out to "get" them for uncovering Atlantis.

The only thing I could think of is that it would have some super secret technology or that the discovery of it would upset religious fundies who thought that civilization began in the Middle East.
