There are no references to Atlantis before Plato, there's all kinds of speculation about whether he heard about it from an existing story of the verbal tradition but that's highly unlikely. Erego academically applying occams razor, we stick to the most likely scenario, that an author of fiction made up a fictional location.

Not really, it's fairly well settled that Aristotle got the parable from Plato's work. And that Plato as the originator made it up.
