They have three other candidates narrowed down for the precise year, though.
When I took a very easy Natural Disasters course my freshman year of college to nail a science credit, they were using the 1628 B. C. date.
Who knows, maybe with such precision they'll be able to examine the nine layers of city wall at the Troy site that they've excavated since that rich con-man Heinrich Schleimann dug up the place in 1870, to see whether or not the Trojan War really did come to an end on April 24, 1184 B. C. They'd stand a better chance of solving that one than Atlantis, of course! That, or figuring out which volcano erupted in 536 A. D. that made that year "the worst year to be a human."
