If there is a society, culture, or civilization that is representative of all such “lost civilizations” it is Atlantis! Was it real or just a myth and if so where did the story begin? Bsically Atlantis is the name of a legendary island first mentioned by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. Few of Plato’s fellow Greeks took his depiction of Atlantis literally. His own chief disciple Aristotle thought he made Atlantis up. Yet Plato’s story is so detailed and circumstantial that many readers, even before the modern interest, found it hard to dismiss totally.
In Plato’s account, Atlantis, lying “beyond the pillars of Heracles”, was a naval power that conquered many parts of Western Europe approximately 9500 BCE. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean “in a single day and night of misfortune”.
Grandma Chandra knows the Atlantis stody is true and I believe her.
In their book, the Orion Prophecy, Geryl and Ratinckx peg the exact date that Atlantis sunk below the ocean as July 27, 9792BCE. And their basic premise is because of a uniques alignment of Venus and other planets. Guess what! That same alignment will happen once again December 21, 2012.
If you want to know the truth, I think all civilizations today are lost, have lost their way, and I’m betting that the events leading up to 2012 will give us an opportunity to exponentially have a jump in consciousness much like the Axial Age. We surely need a change in life before life as wse know it changes us and not for the better. We are still co-creators, so let’s get about doing our part of life. Whatcha say?

I doubt that 2012 has any significance beyond being the start of a new Mayan calendar cycle, like the turn of a millennim.
The date of Atlantis’ destruction was actually less than 5-thousand years ago. It was a supervolcanic island off Portugal that exploded and sank in the 17th century BC. (See Roots of Cataclysm, Algora Publ.NY ‘09)
