How Much Reasearch Would be Required For...

I should point out that even surface structures, exposed only to air and weather, also deteriorate considerably in a couple thousand years, and the sea is a considerably more hostile environment.

 

Well the prologue would be the history part.
The actually novel will take place in the future.
So I have to make the prologue believable.

 

Um. TELL me you aren't going to write an infodump as a prologue!

 

Yuck, god no.

It probably be more like someone's diary or something.
Something far more interesting then that.
Yuck, infodump prologues are the worst.
I put myself to sleep while writing it.

 

Really, really, really thick glass? Lets hope it doesn't cave in.

 

I wouldn't call it Atlantis, because Plato first wrote of Atlantis way before the 1600's

 

Yes, and part of every "gentleman's" education included a large chunk of the "Classics," i.e. old Greek and Roman writings.

Atlantis would actually be a very apropos name for them to think up themselves.
