No. There is no location that is proven beyond doubt to be Atlantis. There have been written at least 20000 books about Atlantis (this number dates from about 1950) and almost each gives his own theory and claims to have evidence. Yet nothing was found and maybe never will - either because it never existed, or because everything vanished - which could prove that Atlantis was there. With kind regards, Harald Henkel
