No, I don't think it's real and the evidences of its NOT being real are many.
There is nothing in antiquity about Atlantis except that one mention of Plato. There is no mention of it anywhere in ancient Egypt (the "sea kings" are Phoenecians; not Atlanteans.) There's no tales of its destruction in other civilizations.

Is it not true (I forget where I heard this) that Plato heard the story of Atlantis from a Greek traveller who was told the story by an Egyptian priest?

I like reading your posts as you seem learned on the subject of ancient civilisations. However I must disagree with you.

If Atlantis dissapeared beneath the sea, would not all traces lie at the bottom of the Atlantic
However the traces we do see of the survivors knowledge and influence are scattered throughout the world.
The pyramidal structures in S. America, Egypt, Far East, for example, along with similar legends, beliefs, mathematical knowledge, similar level of understanding of the cosmos, etc.
