When did Plato disover atlantis?

Plato himself never was in Atlantis. Most scholars say today that Plato invented Atlantis. But a minority grants the possibility of a distorted historical tradition in the Atlantis story. Where did Plato get this story from, if it is not fully invented? Basically, from Egypt, as he says. Either via Solon the Sage, as Plato says, or Plato was personally in Egypt and got it there directly, only claiming Solon to be the source in order to gain more authority - well, this is, what scholars discuss. No one knows for sure. So, Plato never "discovered" Atlantis.
