"Either Plato (and possibly others) invented the story, or else it is based on fact."

Heinreich Schleimann was ridiculed terribly for using the writing of Homer in his quest to find Troy. The ridicule ceased when he uncovered Troy by following the 'myths' of Homer. I expect something similar will be true of Atlantis.

There will always be skeptics - look how many today that don't believe that we put men on the moon. But there are a lot of "unsolved" mysteries still to be explained.
