Santorini is Atlantis - I went to a for profit museum on the island that proved it and until I go to another museum disproving it that’s what I’m going with.

agree. also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis  

"While present-day philologists and classicists agree on the story's fictional character,[9][10] there is still debate on what served as its inspiration. Plato is known to have freely borrowed some of his allegories and metaphors from older traditions, as he did, for instance, with the story of Gyges.[11] This led a number of scholars to investigate possible inspiration of Atlantis from Egyptian records of the Thera eruption,[12][13] the Sea Peoples invasion,[14] or the Trojan War.[15]"  

Thera eruption = Santorini.

It is clearly stated that Atlantis is past the pillars of hercules aka the rock of Gibraltar. There is a site in Spain that is a current possibility.
