Troy really Atlantis?

I wanted to do a little more research on what exactly this place Troy is. In this video at 2:55 you should start it talks about how Homer's Odyssey and Plato's Story are talking about the same place Plato calls it Atlantis and Homer calls it Troy. They both talk about the armies and they are almost just alike, and the weaponry is talked about exactly alike. This gives me more evidence that Troy is really located on the west cost of Modern day Turkey. Also helps assist in the location of which most research should be done on to really know what Troy was like in 440 B.C.E.

It's also interesting to hear how Plato and Homer wrote during the same time period about atlantis and Troy, and they ask the question once Plato found out that Homer was writing about the same place that maybe Plato decided to stop writing about Atlantis... Plato continued to write books but never mentioned Atlantis ever again.
