there were great cities died to natural disasters prior Plato, Atlantis is either amalgamation of those stories or over-glorification of a single one.

We have surviving architecture from the time period and nothing even comes close to the grandeur described.

Well, Plato was describing it as a fictional place, so I guess it didn't exist then.

If you actually read the dialogs in question, it is clear that the Atlantis story is just an allegory. Plato is not trying to describe actual historical events.

This is a history thread.

Plato does not tell the Atlantis story as a fictional story. Yet it cannot be literally true at the same time -- but this we know only today. It could be a distorted historical tradition. As demonstrated e.g. on http://www.Atlantis-Scout.de/
