Hmmm. Seems strangely familiar.
So what your saying is, if there wasn't physical evidence of it's existence, like Troy or maybe Atlantis, we declared it never existed.
There was no written record about Gobleki Tepe which is probably one of the most important archeological sites in the world and when it was discovered, it changed everything we thought we knew about about man from 12,000 years ago.
All I'm saying is just because we don't have any other written record of Atlantis doesn't mean there weren't written records that didn't survive. It probably didn't exist, but it's not a zero percent chance it didn't exist.
Things like evidence or written records have a tendency being getting lost or being destroyed due to a variety of factors. Plato existed less than 2500 years ago. Gobleki Tepe is 12,000 years old. That's almost 10,000 years in between Gobleki Tepe and Plato. How much has been lost to use since Plato so ask yourself how much has been lost since Gobleki Tepe?

Before they found it but after it actually existed.
