An Ancient Atlantean Relic or what?

Here’s an excerpt from an intriguing article chronicling the craziness that developed over an object found in the California desert. A ceramic cylinder surrounding a metal screw-like object fired people’s imaginations. It became known as the Coso Artifact with speculation that it could have been a relic of Atlantis or something left by aliens or even an artifact from before The Flood. It turned out to be a spark plug for a Model T or Model A Ford from the 1920s. The author of the article goes on to bemoan the gullibility of people:

The Internet, with its unique ability to elevate bogosity and cheapen fact, is awash with this stuff: video footage of underwater Atlantean “roads” near Bimini; engineering diagrams of Noah’s ark; evidence linking the “face on Mars” to the Pyramids of Giza and the Old Testament.

Archaeology from the dark side

So, which one are you? Are you one of the ones who would have thought that the Coso Artifact was probably an ancient Atlantean relic or are you the type who would assume it had to be something easily explainable by science or common sense?
