The Kircher, Donnelly, and Critias relate to Atlantis, the Year Without A Summer to volcanic eruptions and from there possibly to Atlantis, and the Voynich Manuscript could probably be tied in, but I look forward to seeing what in the world you're doing with the Rosetta Stone and Hagia Sophia.
And "a new novel"? Does this imply there are old novels? If so, where?
Critias, I assume, was the give-away but figuring out Donnelly brings you kudos (not the candy bar, the Greek word for glory). You sir are spot on.
The Kircher Society is the biggest Kircher site on the web that I can find but still doesn't have any actual translations. Luckily the library here has the actual manuscripts, dating back to the 1660s. Time to actually learn Latin, y'know.
As for old novels: I have about 200 pages of a fantasy novel from high school which I am legitimately afraid to look at for fear it is terrible. Someday I shall return to it when I am more convinced of my writing.
Good luck with the whole 'my company is evil and imploding' thing, sounds like a good time!
Not that good, just share some of the same interests with you. Except that you're more dedicated. I'm writing something about ancient Greece now and have zealously avoided any actual Greek, despite technically having a base in the language. Plus, my abandoned fantasy novel from high school that I'm afraid to look at for fear it is terrible is only about 100 pages.

And, since you mentioned Kircher, check out The Athanasius Kircher Society.
