Yeah, I think so, too. Numenor was named Atalante (the sunken isle) after it sank into the see. Atalante is quenya and he certanly was inspired by Atlantis...
There are also disscusions if middleearth was real and I believe that Tolkien at least constructed ME as it could have been real in the past of the earth; so I think Atlantis 'could' have been Numenor.
