I am not an expert on ancient civilizations, some things make me wonder that is all.
There is much lively debate as to whether Atlantis really existed and where it might have been situated. What is less discussed is what the mother civilization might have been like to live in—how did it rise and fall?
There must have been a first city-state that set the foundation and blueprint for all that was to come. History appears to show that civilizations rise and fall at an ever-accelerating pace. So the first city could have been active for thousands of years. As it has completely disappeared, it must have collapsed a long time ago.
What did the city look like? Could it have had the same design as the ancient cities we know of? Some kind of pyramid in the center of town. A city wall enclosing houses and shops in a grid pattern?
Did she become a brutal colonial power? Corrupt and decadent at home, cruel and brutal abroad. Is that how she fell? That, with some variation, is how just about every civilization has fallen since.
