No one knows, Plato first mentioned it in 360 B.C., but many believed he made it up to further his political career.
There is no concrete evidence that Atlantis ever existed. The story of Atlantis sinking is a myth from ancient Greek literature that has captured the imagination of many people. It is not possible to determine exactly when or if Atlantis supposedly sank.

Plato described Atlantis as a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time. He mentioned it in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias," where he described Atlantis as a wealthy island nation that ultimately sank into the ocean in a catastrophic event. Some scholars believe that Plato used Atlantis as a metaphor for the rise and fall of civilizations.
No God lived on Atlantis. Atlantis was ruled by twelve kings who all died when the island sank. After that nobody lived on or even in Atlantis.
Unless you are referring to a specific fictional universe or work of fiction, no. Mermaids do not exist and never did. There is no firm evidence that Atlantis existed either, and if it did it was simply populated by humans.
Atlantis was most likely made up by Plato. Scientist who study Atlantis believe it may have been in Antarctica, the Mediterranean Sea or in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. -------------------------------------------------- By gbaughma: This question pre-supposes that Atlantis actually existed. That has yet to be proven. The island of Atlantis was first mentioned by Plato in 360 B.C., telling stories of an island that existed about 9600 B.C. According to the story, the island sank into the ocean on a single night, after a failed attempt to invade Athens. There have been several stories about the location, but the name Atlantis indicates that it was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
