Indonesia
Several groups independently advocate the seas around peninsula Malaysia as a site for Atlantis, which was a large unsubmerged plain known as Sundaland during the Wisconsin glaciation, which ended around 10,000 BC, and connected also to Indonesia. Key to this argument is that the Ocean of Atlantis refers to the ocean which encircles Eurasia and Africa, which was the historical understanding until Christopher Columbus. Natives of Sundaland who fled the rising waters or volcanic explosions eventually had contact with Ancient Egyptians, who later passed the story onto Plato who gets some but not all of the details correct, including location and time period. Some proponents argue that Atlantis myth is seen as a growth of, or in combination with Lemuria and other eden myths. The main advocate of this theory is the Brazilian professor of nuclear physics Arysio Nunes dos Santos.
