Did Plato say it was a volcano that did Atlantis in? Just that "in a day of night of misfortune Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea"? One big dispute is the size of Atlantis, described as "Lybia and Asia Minor put together," well we know nothing is as big as that on the ocean floor. Of course the Minoan eruption could still be very well what was discussed and that's a good point about Solon being in Egypt.

Muck tried to use the Mayan Calendar before such a thing was popular and apparently got the date wrong anyway, I've read it should've been 8293 BC and not 8498 BC.
