That's what I was thinking.
It does make sense. If Pato or the ones who told him the story of Atlantis were off a few thousand years, then that would put the eruption on Santorini right in the time frame for the destruction of Atlantis.
It just makes sense.
If only the Greek government would permit an archeological research in the area. There may be lots to find underwater near Santorini.
Plato was quite explicit as to the location of Atlantis and it was not in the Mediterrean.
