I'd say that I'm 99% certain that Atlantis, if one existed, was the island of Thera where a rich and advanced Minoan trading hub was blasted to bits by a volcano that not only left a big hole where their city once was but probably led to the end of the Minoan civilization. It fits a whole lot better than any of the other suggestions that I've seen.

Let me see if I understand: Ireland is Atlantis, and the idea that Atlantis sank, comes from Dogger Bank, which is a shoal, northeast of England, which sank 6000 years ago.
Wouldn't that make Dogger Bank Atlantis?

"Atlantis, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote in 360 BC, was an island in the Atlantic Ocean"
Plato never said that it was in the Atlantic, he said that it was "before the Pillars of Hercules" that people assume means beyond the Strait of Gibraltar. However, others think that the Pillars of Hercules refers to another location, possibly closer to Greece.
"Just like Atlantis, Ireland is 300 miles long, 200 miles wide, and widest across the middle. They both have a central plain surrounded by mountains."
Problem is that Ireland would have been larger that Atlantis at the time Atlantis was around. It is the same size now due to erosion of the coastline.

If Ireland is Atlantis, does that make Fat Ted the lost price of Atlantis?
Just a lost Oldsmobile, not a lost continent.

Nope--the stories of Atlantis came out of a paganized account of the Flood.
