That would imply that Atlantis was an island to begin with.

Atlantis never existed.

It was a vehicle for Plato to explore his philosophical ideas.

Atlantis was probably inspired in the Minoan civilization which was a very advanced maritime civilization and historical evidence shows it was destroyed by a series of volcanic explosions. (Thera, Santorini)

The Minoans had clay piping and even their lowest classes could read and write in the 2000 BC, which made the Mycenaean antecesors of the Greeks seem almost like barbarians in comparison.

It's no wonder their strange society, long gone by the time Plato was writing, must have seemed utopian to the Greeks.

That statement would carry more weight if we didn't have sources about Atlantis predates socrates.

Ok, my wiki warrior.

People didn't have historical knowledge and books readily available in the ancient world. Most things spread by legend and word of mouth.

It's very likely that Atlantis the legend was inspired in Minoa the historical fact, the story of a prosperous maritime civilization that existed before the Greeks and was wiped out by volcanic activity and tsunamis being mutated into the legend of Atlantis, which Plato then latched onto to explore his ideas.

You didn't anything but highly circumstantial evidence. High Culture and disappear all over history. The Minoans interesting as they are still existed after the eruption.
> which made the Mycenaean antecesors of the Greeks seem almost like barbarians in comparison
And yet they conquered the Minoans with ease.

Yes, it is highly possible that Plato describes the downfall of Atlantis according to the reports on the Santorini eruption. This however does not mean that Santorini was Atlantis especially since you chose to ignore the parts the description doesn't fit at all.

I mean yeah there are tons of other suggestion all with some probable evidence:

Oh and I actually am a historian and never watched the history channel. But nice projection there.

I don't know why you are so mad most of those conferences seem to suggest a relation to the Minoan or early Egean Civilizations, in agreement to what I'm saying.

I will concede to you that the talk on the study of Tamil legends seems interesting though.

If it was inspired by it, it was very loosely inspiration since the only things akrotiri shared with Atlantis are that it was rich and got partially sunked after an explosion
