The Younger Dryas climatic event destroyed Atlantis roughly 11,700 years ago (Plato says 9,000 years before his time in Critias so roughly 11,300 years ago on his estimate). The rapid sea level rise and change in the stress on the Earth's tectonics plates (ice on polar regions melting and becoming evenly distributed across the plates) led to its destruction, leaving the Azores as its only remnant. It leaves other traces as well, like the Aztlan of the Americas and in the distribution of the R1b haplogroup.
