Plato also drew america way before it was found.

ANd it shows that altantis is in the atlantic ocean just like the name.

The more likely theory is that it is there where plato discribed it on the map. It is said to be a land of wealth and beuty.This is th emost likely location of it because it is where he destribed it and it would form a continent if the water level was off by a little bit.

Ummm.... Plato never mentioned America. And he never drew anything, he only wrote about it. Once. In a book that he never finished properly. Based on something that his grandfather supposedly heard about in Egypt, but which has never been verified. Hell, there are no records of the tale that Solon heard in Egypt, there is no record in the ground in the form of trading wares and other archaeological finds anywhere in the Med...
Haven't we shot this down already?

One of the problems with that theory is that "it would form a continent if the water level was off by a little bit".

It is needed more than a "little bit" to put that region above sea level.

As you can see here most of the area needed to make a continent is pictured in green. Looking at the scale you can see that "green" is around 2,000 metres under the sea level, not just a "little bit".

If the water levels were so low then the Mediterranean sea would have been closed and so the boats from Atlantis could not enter it.

As for the map, if you are referring to this map (I couldn't see anything with the other link) then this map was made in the 17th century and it shows Atlantis "according to the description of Plato", so it has nothing new to add to that description.
