@Bickle121 I know. I used to point out that Atlantis is a myth. Just a philosophical allegory written by Plato to discuss his views on Ideal Republics. But that has little effect on True Believers.
So now I try to point out how their various theories don't make sense.
Once Upon a Time: Solon went to Egypt in 600 BC and the Egyptians told him about a War between Atlantis & Athens in 9,600 BC! Thousands of years before either civilization existed! lol.
They somehow preserved this story for 9,000 years. Orally, I guess, until they invented hieroglyphics. How many walls did they need to record the 5,000 word story in picture writing? The Declaration of Independence has 1,300 words. But the Critias dialogue has an unnecessarily detailed, overly elaborate description of Atlantis in minute detail.
The Egyptians must have really cared about Atlantis to record everything about them. Funny how no other ancient civilization ever mentions them. Nothing in the annals of recorded history from the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, Minoans, Hebrews, Assyrians, Lydians, etc or anybody else.
Then Solon returns to Athens but keeps the Astonishing Tale of Atlantis as a family secret for 200 years. He tells one dude, Dropidus, who tells his son Critias the Elder, who waits until he's 90 years old to tell his 10-year old grandson Critias all about this Legendary Tale of Athenian Heroism & Bravery. Then Critias waits 40 years until he grows up and Socrates asks him a question, during a festival, about how ideal states deal with corrupt states.
Critias: "Hey, Plato. Get some papyrus and a quill. You're gonna dig it. Write this shit down. I'm about to school Socrates."
