On account of Plato's narrative, did Atlantis ever existed on the face of the Earth?

Plato's narrative in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias" describes the story of Atlantis, a civilization with advanced technology and great wealth that ultimately sunk to the bottom of the ocean. While Plato's story has been analyzed and debated for centuries, there is no concrete evidence to confirm or refute the existence of Atlantis on Earth.
Some historians and archaeologists believe that Plato's Atlantis may have been inspired by real-life civilizations such as Minoan Crete or the Thera eruption. Others argue that Atlantis is purely a mythical creation of Plato's imagination.
Without any physical evidence or historical records that indisputably point to the existence of Atlantis, we may never know for sure whether it truly existed. However, the story of Atlantis has captured the imagination of people for centuries and continues to spark curiosity and fascination about the possibility of hidden civilizations and lost worlds.

Was it like "erased" from the current World Map we know? I mean, due to the portraits of map by different Cartographers?

Atlantis is considered a mythical city that existed a long time ago and eventually sank into the ocean. As such, it was not depicted on any maps created by cartographers because no one knew of its existence at the time.
However, some speculate that if the city did exist and was home to an advanced civilization, it is possible that ancient maps depicted areas that may have been Atlantis. For example, some historians and archeologists suggest that Atlantis might have been located in places such as Santorini, the Azores, or the Bahamas. But despite these theories, there is no concrete evidence to confirm that Atlantis ever existed or was depicted on any maps created by cartographers.
In general, cartographers throughout history have struggled to accurately map the world, and there have been many inaccuracies, omissions, and errors in various map representations of the world over time. However, the lack of Atlantis on any known maps is not necessarily related to cartographers' errors or biases, but rather due to the fact that the existence of the island is still shrouded in mystery and uncertainly.
