From what I understate Plato says that: Atlantis was outside the Pillars of Hercules, had concentric rings of land and water. Double walled canals, with the Temple to Persidian in the middle.
It was close enough to Athens to wage a sea war.
There colors were red, black and white.

There is another far more facinating possiblity... it has pretty much been proven that around 7,000/6500 BC, in other words the late neolithic...

the ice age ended around 9500bce
the late neolithic was the period that immediately preceeded the bronze age
the bronze age began in 3600bce in mesopotamia
the black sea flood theory has been debunked besides which
the flood story that you know today is derived from the mesopotamian flood stories which the hebrews picked up while they were slaves there
and the Sumerians never lived on the shores of the black sea
nin addition no neolithic ruins have been found under the waters of the black sea
iirc the closest they got was to having some anomalous side scan sonar readings which could have been anything but a neolithic site
Although the scientific discussion is still continuing, the support for the theory of a catastrophic flood as hypothesized by Ryan and Pitman has substantially eroded in recent years, especially in light of the Russian data that has been made available in the 2006 volume on the topic.

Before Troy was descovered everyone believe that there was no Troy and Homer was a fiction story teller, as today we say there is no Atlandis and Plato is a fiction story teller. Heinrich Schliemann is the one who descovered Troy and the sceptics closed their mouth off. History repeats itself so no big words. Atlandis will be found... and people will see that Plato told the truth.

In ancient times, the only reference to Atlantis comes from Plato.
