I'd say that I'm 99% certain that Atlantis, if one existed, was the island of Thera

That was what the Doctor said in the Dr Who story "The Time Monster"

A claim given reserach credence as the makers of the program made as creditable an attempt to portray Minonian female formal costume as the constraints of 70s BBC Childrens Programming would allow. (basically 2-3" of material added to the ..er, neckline)

The problem was that Plato mistranslated the story.

You see, Atlantis (Ireland) was an advanced civilization that sank beneath the whiskey, not the waves.

And I have to admit, this has happened to me on more than one occasion.
