Among theories about Atlantis, me dino leans toward the volcanic "climate change" that both blew up and drowned the Minoan civilization around 1600BC.
Methinks Plato (c. 428-347BC heard of conflicting histories written on scrolls and/or sung by bards about its location and chose the one that placed it in the Atlantic beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" we know as the Strait of Gibraltar.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to discover what type of govt Atlantis had. I bet it was socialist too since they fell to climate change.
