I have also been contacted by the author of this website, which connects the
Parthenon with Atlantis. He is very polite.
http://www.mistral.co.uk/hammerwood/elgin.htm

Excerpt:
"The Frieze contains all the elements of Plato's Atlantis texts and suggests
that the Parthenon was built to commemorate Athena and Hephaestus having
championed the Athenians in the epic War between Athens and Atlantis. The
construction of the Parthenon for this purpose proves that the stories told
by Plato were common knowledge and were considered by all to be true
history. The frieze identifies the nature of the debate to which Plato
referred at the end of the Critias text."

It's a good read, although I haven't looked too closely.
