Atlantis - still interesting or played out?

There have been hundreds of books that have had at least something to do with the mythical land (both fiction and alleged non-fiction). There's a TV show, a few movies, and other pop culture that has been devoted to it.

So my question is - Does Atlantis still grab your interest or curiosity?

Since I was a young lad, I was always taken by stories of Atlantis. I loved it. From the old B movies to the Leonard Nimoy documentaries (remember the old “In Search Of” shows?) I ate it all up. As I got older and got interested in other things (like Voltron and Transformers – hey, I was a bambino!) the interest of course waned. It remained that way until I read a novel by Herbie Brennan back in the late 90’s called “Atlantis Enigma”. Typically, I don’t subscribe to crackpot theories. I am not a believer in Nostradamus or Edgar Cayce. I don’t know if I believe in Loch Ness or Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman.

However, with Atlantis in the title, I had to grab the book and see what it was about. It was a very entertaining read. Brennan built his case for Ancient Astronauts and how Atlantis did exist. It surmised that at the destruction of Atlantis that Atlantean culture ferreted out to the rest of the lands of the world, which created large leaps in the advancement of those cultures.

Stargate seems to have brought Atlantis back into the pop culture with the spin off series.

In Ancient Rising, my first novel, Atlantis is the ultimate goal for my heroes and will play an intergral part in the final two volumes of the story.

So, I’m just curious. When the name Atlantis is uttered, does it grab your attention or do you just have “Great…another one?” kind of reaction to it?

Have the stories with Atlantis as a centerpiece been oversaturated or is there room for more?
