It was actually covered up in a gradual rise in the sea levels that took place at the end of the ice age, about 12,000-10,000 years ago. There were
probably people living on the strip of land between Europe and England, but it doesn't match Plato's story.
Plato's story says that the Atlanteans were defeated by Athens, and Athens wasn't around some 10,000 years ago. He puts Atlantis as a sort of
idealized Greek city-state, but one that falls prey to the sin of "hubris" (pride.) This was a major theme in Greek literature at the time, and
their plays and poetry and songs and artwork were full of stories of great ruling houses and so forth that fell because of hubris.
So no. No match.
(by the way, Atlantis is fiction by Plato. If it was true, there'd be other Greek plays about the place (as there were about Troy.))
