Could Atlantis really exist?
Plato the Philosopher
Scene of Utopian Atlantis by Sir Gerald Hargreaves date. N/A
Atlantis is said to have sunk in the "Pillars of Hercules" known today as The Strait of Gibraltar inbetween the Rock of Gibraltar and Mount Hacho near Ceuta Spain
Rock of Gibraltar
If Atlantis ever existed was most likely based off of another society called the Minoans and their destruction. The Minoans was said to have been destroyed by a tsunami or a volcanic erruption just like Atlantis.
Was it really destroyed?

I do not think that Atlantis exists based on my reseach and the very few recorded documents.
Mount Hacho
Plato's dialouges Timaeus and Critias are the only known Atlantis evidence in existance. They focus on the topic of Atlantis and the knowledge of Atlantis that has been lost in time.
