The people of Atlantis had become complacent in their wealth and power, and had grown arrogant and selfish. They had forgotten their humble beginnings and had become obsessed with material possessions and power.
The gods had grown angry with the people of Atlantis and decided to punish them for their arrogance and greed. They sent a great flood to the island, which destroyed the cities and wiped out the population.
The survivors of the flood were scattered across the world, and the island of Atlantis was lost beneath the waves. The people of Atlantis had been punished for their arrogance and greed, and the once-great kingdom was no more.
The legend of Atlantis has been passed down through the generations, and many people still search for the lost kingdom. But it is unlikely that anyone will ever find it, as it is believed to be lost forever beneath the waves.
