until they find conclusive proof, we can only speculate. as far as i know, the only things suggesting the existence of a large island civilisation in the atlantic are some vague lines from plato's dialogues and some other references.

so the myth is that there was an island civilisation in the atlantic that predated egyptians and mesopotamians and it got destroyed by some earthquake/volcanic erruption

There are sunken cities off the coasts of Zimbabwe, Cuba, India and Japan, all with a claim to being Atlantis (I don't think the name means it necessarily has to be in the Atlantic).
