Is Atlantis real? any real, solid proof?

[niki]

I have been wondering about this lately..

Many have talked about Atlantis, some said that it's real, and some said that it's just an invented myth (by Plato).
So, what do you all think?
Is Atlantis real?
if it's indeed very real, then is there any real, solid, concrete proofs? (as to provide to many of my skeptic, and 'realistic', 'worldly' friends).

And also another thing that I'm curious to know is:
If it's indeed really real, then was the Atlantis people lived after, on, or before the Dinosaurs era?
What is the ultimate connection between Atlantis and the pre-historic secular history that we've been taught about?

thanks.
