OLD ATLANTIS
Atlantis (àt-làn´tîs),
in Greek mythology, a large island in the western sea.
PLATO describes it as a UTOPIA destroyed by an earthquake.
Questions as to its existence have provoked speculation over the centuries.
One theory holds that it was a part of the Aegean island of THERA that sank
c.1500 B.C.

CAPSULE
Some scientists predict
that Holland could disappear into the sea in the next 15 years! If Atlantis

the New Atlantis?
project:
What would you put in a time capsule for a future generation
to discover your civilization? Here
are some ideas for stories or pictures:
- If you would only leave a list of important questions to define your culture,
what would they be?

FLOODS & TSUNAMIS Many
cultures have survived great floods. Holland has a tradition of innovation
in dealing with water. The flood in 1953 in Zeeland saw the dawn of many advances
in underwater architecture, and new ways to control the water level. Japan
is also an island with advanced ways of knowing the water. They have built
the most elaborate wall that can listen to the ocean floor, to warn them of
a tsunami.
project:
- If you could save only 3 things from a tsunami, what
would they be?
All responses,
whether they are fantastic, science fiction, serious or comic, are welcome.
