While there are fakes, some OOPArts (out-of-place artifacts) seem to be genuine. There's also too many strange references, eg Vimanas, which seem to represent advanced technology that was confuddling for ancient authors. Then there's the antikythera mechanism, an analog computer from Ancient Greece which could calculate astronomical events and so forth -- it's proven genuine, and it's likely a relict of Atlantean technology. The Ancient Greeks were brilliant, but for them to invent such a thing out of whole cloth is a bit of a stretch, you have to admit.
Keep in mind that there's alot we don't know even about the Bronze Age. Our knowledge of the Minoans, for example, is limited to ruins, artifacts, written references, myths, and fragments. We can't read Linear A (although Linear B encodes archaic Greek), just bits & pieces, a few words and concepts here & there. Point is, the Minoans were a major civilization lasting a couple millennia within our own cycle, and our understanding of it is dim -- which only goes to show how much more obscured the pre-Bronze age civilizations are, shrouded by the mists of time.
Also, if Atlantean technology reached 1900, does that make them steampunk? lol
