No. Atlantis was a sunken city that supposedly existed;however, no concrete evidence exists to support such claims--it is simply a myth, or a legend. On the other hand, Pompeii did very much exist. It is a partially buried Roman town near Naples today. It is buried under ash and pumice, due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It was lost, then rediscovered in 1748. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site today.

Did Atlantis and Pompeii get destroyed at the same time?
No they were not. Pompeii was destroyed in 79 BC. It is now thought that Atlantis was the Greek island of Santorini, which in antiquity was called Thera. It is a volcanic island. Most of the island collapsed into the sea in a Volcanic eruption which is thought to have occurred in the mid-second millennium BC. But we have to keep in mind that the philosopher Plato in a book he wrote came up with the concept of an "ideal" society he called Atlantis and which according to him was sunk into the ocean as a punishment by the Gods right after they had supposedly tried to attack Athens. So Atlantis may also have been completely made up by him.
