Much better is up in the Andes.
You have several clues. First of all there's a city, in a lake, that meets all the requirements. Secondly that city is in the area where coca was first domesticated to provide high levels of cocaine. Thirdly, Egyptian mummies of the time have cocaine in the body's tissue cells.
We also find a similar site in Southern Portugual. It's laid out just like the place in the Andes.
Quite logically the Andean dope dealers sought markets around the world. They built settlements to support the transport of their product.
The business was so successful it's still operating!

What does a physicist know about under-sea archeology and for that matter....under sea geology? What makes this Physicist such an expert that he disputes the American?

In 360 B.C. Plato described an island he called Atlantis. Swedish geographer Ulf Erlingsson believes the Greek philosopher based his geographic description on Ireland (shown above in a satellite image).

"Much better is up in the Andes. " You're not the only one who thinks this. Jim Allen has the below linked site, a book and a pretty good one hour documentary on this. There was a lot more going on in South America in prehistory times than most can/will admit.
Historic Atlantis In Bolivia
I would choose SA or the Caribbean as a site for Atlantis over anything in the Mediterranean or Europe. I'm leaning toward Sundaland these days though.

Nothin'. But there are a host of people who will saddle on his "findings" right away, and of course, it gets his name in the papers. :')

I tend to think Atlantis was in Southeast Asia, Sundaland. I always think there was a lost civilization that pre-dates the first known civilization, which was very advanced.
