  • Trans-Atlantean oceanic trade routes once islandic, now submerged?

Consider the global pretense:
-Pacific island chains regularly being created by the formation of igneous rocks,
mostly after volcanic activity and volcanic eruptions, in the state of Hawaii
-Atlantic coastal regions undergoing catastophic flooding events, often reducing
neighborhoods to uninhabitable submarine areas, due to the Mississippi river

Lost, or archaeic, documents from Atlanta,
(and it's speculation that the documents would have been produced in Atlanta)
are most often referenced by Mediterranean scholars citing the ruins of Atlantean civilization.
Given that we're aware of the propensity for island chains to be tidally submerged,
is there any chance of finding significant information in documents that might have been
transferred, through tidal currents that would redirect any of the preserved documents?

On the attached image from an aerial (or satellite image) depiction of the globe (the Earth),
the markings in red suggest areas where island chains may have been tidally submerged.
The yellow liner notes may reveal locations where documents could be found

Would there be any commentary, refutation, or evidence about this claim

I think you mean Atlantis, not Atlanta. Until convincing archaeological evidence is uncovered, I shall stick with the mainstream view that Plato was using Egyptian accounts of the eruption of Thera, the Trojan War (most likely, this was a localised, short-lived conflict and not as Homer and later writers described), and the catastrophic invasion of several nations by the Sea Peoples towards the end of the Bronze Age (1177 BCE and earlier) as well as the failed invasion of Sicily by Athens and the destruction of the polis of Helike nearer his own time. Timaeus and Critias are seen as allegories about the hubristic behaviour of nations rather than historical accounts.

It's hard to find somewhere now that hasn't been proposed at the location of Atlantis:

If I had to choose the most likely candidate for the location of Atlantis, it would be the Souss-Massa plain in Morocco:

The following resource might also be of interest to those who think Plato is describing a real place, now lost:

Atlanta trade routes are just fine. I was on Interstate 75 earlier today. Minor traffic jam near Chattanooga, but that's always the case.
