It's Atlantis - with the Cast of "300"

This waterlogged bit of history could be fertile territory for ficlet-izing:

The legend of Atlantis, the country that disappeared under the sea, may be more than just a myth. Research on the Greek island of Crete suggests Europe’s earliest civilisation was destroyed by a giant tsunami…

A group of scientists have uncovered new evidence that the island of Crete was hit by a massive tsunami at the same time that Minoan culture disappeared.

“The geo-archaeological deposits contain a number of distinct tsunami signatures,” says Dutch-born geologist Professor Hendrik Bruins of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.

Of course, this leaves Aquaman without a home. But then, no one said history does not have its victims, whether it be comic book characters or an entire culture.
