Everyone assumes Atlantis if it even existed was destroyed by a volcano. Though this theory run contrary to the large amount of "flood" stories that are found all over the globe about the destruction of a great civilization, nearly all these stories hint at a celestial event and not just a volcanic one. Is it possible that a meteor impact in the Atlantic ocean could have triggerd volcanic explosions and earthquakes in the volitle Atlantic region off the coast of spain? Thus causing Atlantis to be sunk by the volcanic means that Plato gives account of, and also providing for the fundemental basis of a global celestial event that has been past down through hundreds of cultures on all continents of the globe.

Plato doesn't mention any volcano at all, and Plato knew volcanoes.
