That is a question folks have been asking since 350 BC! The easy answer is to look where Plato said it was, "opposite" the Pillars of Herakles (Straits of Gibraltar) and in the Atlantic, below the sea. Most of the people searching for Atlantis are looking onland and in some very far-distant places or in the Mediterranean and Aegean sea islands where several late Bronze Age civilizations existed and fell. The final verdict is not in as to the true location, but since Schliemann found Troy by following the text of the ancient Greek poet Homer, Helike by the words of Pausanias, I believe that Atlantis will only be found by following the text of Plato.
It is not inconceivable that Atlantis might turn out to be the lost city of Death Valley, but I hope we will see enough evidence to prove it to the skeptics before we start celebrating.
