No one has proven Atlantis was in America either. There are several reasons:

1. IF Atlantis was near America and sunk, this would not make the Atlantic unnavigable. Moreover, no one in Plato's time could reach the Americas to notice that there was a shoal of mud.

2. IF Atlantis was in America, it would not make sense to say it was before the Pillars of Herakles.

3. IF Atlantis was in America, how could the Atlanteans attack Greece? Wouldn't evidence of their civilization first be in North America and South America, and West Europe/Africa? Why attack the Mediterranean? There is nothing for them in the Mediterranean.

4. It'd be pretty damn difficult to control W. Europe and Libya from the other side of the sea, especially when voyages were limited.
