Part 7: The Fall of Atlantis The Last Queen of Atlantis
Sections (Navigate sections)
The fall of Atlantis was a slow and painful process. The people of Atlantis had grown complacent and arrogant, believing that their great city was invincible. They had forgotten the warnings of the gods and had become too focused on their own wealth and power.
The first sign of trouble came when the sea began to rise. The people of Atlantis had built their city on a low-lying island, and the rising sea levels threatened to submerge it. The people of Atlantis tried to build sea walls and dams to keep the water out, but it was too late. The sea continued to rise, and soon the city was completely submerged.
The people of Atlantis were forced to abandon their homes and flee to higher ground. They took with them whatever possessions they could carry, but most of their wealth and treasures were lost forever.
The fall of Atlantis was a tragedy for the people of the city, but it was also a warning to the rest of the world. The gods had warned them, but they had not listened. They had become too focused on their own wealth and power, and had forgotten the warnings of the gods.
The last queen of Atlantis, Queen Amalthea, was the last to leave the city. She was determined to preserve the legacy of her people, and so she gathered up all the books and scrolls she could find. She then set sail for a distant land, where she hoped to find a safe haven for her people.
The legacy of Atlantis lives on in the stories and legends that have been passed down through the generations. The fall of Atlantis serves as a reminder to us all to never forget the warnings of the gods, and to always be mindful of the consequences of our actions.
