Original Note:
No written records of Atlantis exist outside of Plato [1][2]. Story was an allegory about the hubris of nations [3]. The story debunks itself bc it describes the "city" of Athens. Athens was in the pre-pottery Neolithic--no city--9,000 years before Plato[4]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critias_(dialogue) 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timaeus_(dialogue) 3. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Lords_of_the_Sea/z1iI-C4r09oC?hl=en 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Greece
