One of my friends is insisting that Atlantis is real, kind of want to save him before it's too late. Any chance I could get some sources to convince him otherwise?
Give up. There's no saving them once they get that far. I've met people IRL who think the moon landings were fake and they're just as thick as the people online who think it.

>doesn't believe Atlantis existed
I can't tell if op is baiting. OP, it's common knowledge, not to mention historical fact, that Atlantis did indeed exist. Just ask the Greeks, those guys knew their shit. Seriously op, how would you even disprove this?
Its not on you to prove that atlantis doesnt exist. There is no evidence that it doesnt exist just like how There isnt evidence god exists. the burden of proof is on the assertion that atlantis DOES exist.

this is correct. there is historical information that a city of "atlantis" did exist. but there isnt unformation that a city under the water exists today.

People were sure that Troy didn't exist until one faggot went out and found it.

Atlantis is a tad further in the spectrum of fantasy than Troy.

What if Atlantis is America? Maybe even located under Atlanta.

i know this. i have read his works. I should have expanded on the point more but i was trying to say that there was an actual city that fits the descriptuon which was quite possibly the inspiration for Atlantis similar to how gotham was based heavily off Chicago

Take him on a "scuba trip" to the Atlantic. Its for the best.

Read the book. It is called Critias by Plato.
Spoiler : Atlantis was a made up place used by Plato to test the Republic theory.
Great reading. It's the basics of politics today.
