Atlantis

**The Kingdom of The Atlanteans**, or simply known as **Atlantis**, was an advanced Empire on Earth in The SScythian Legends. It was Located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Africa and North America.

Before the events of the story take place, Atlantis would be invaded and destroyed by the Anunnaki, creating the Greek legend of the city we know of today.

They would come into contact with an alien species, where due to on running conflicts and aggression, would result in a deadly war they would ultimately lose.

Their capital, Central Island, would be a man made port in the center of the channel between the Eastern and Western halves of the country.

## History

### prehistory

Atlantis would gain its first settlers during the early Neolithic period, when Arian expeditioners would lost contact with Scythia, who would then go on to settle everywhere from Siberia to Ireland, going native and creating the ancient ancestors of modern day Europe.

While they would remain isolationist, they would take in a number of people from Carthage, a Semitic Phoenician people from the Levant to the far east, on the condition that they were not allowed to return to Carthage, as to keep Atlantis safe from outside invasion.

Soon Atlantis would become self sufficient, relying on no other nations for trade and even avoiding many of the plagues that'd severely damage the rest of the ancient world.

### First Contact

At some point the Atlanteans would meet a species called The Elohim, an alien force physically taller than most humans with six "genders" that were engineered to be political castes rather than anything biological. The Elohim would go planet to planet, harvesting its inhabitants in a period of intense turmoil known as the Kali Yuga.

The Elohim would harvest a planet's inhabitants for human abdominal fat, oxidize Adrenaline into Adrenochrome, and use the resulting compound as a drug. They were known to be extremely aggressive, in that if you looked at one in a bad mood, they'd more than likely kill you on the spot.

One way to survive was to appease them, and many around the ancient would emulate the Elohim's practices and brutality. Despite this, the Elohim still considered humans to be no more than chattle, and when humans would interact with them, humans would have to follow their 613 laws.

One of these many laws included taking flea baths and bathing yourself in certain amounts of oils, making approximately six liters of alcohol a day to give to them, give them silver coinage as was the Elohim's currency, and even burn the abdominal fats of children they'd kill in their raids as offerings.

### War.

Tired of suffering under the yoke of their brutality, the Atlanteans would go to war with the Elohim, demanding an end to their subjugation and that humans be treated as equals. The Elohim would refuse these demands and war would break out between them, with the Atlanteans eventually being facing entire genocide, and being harvested, with both of their islands being sunken into the ocean to be lost to time. This would then be extended to the rest of the ancient world as well, to leave a message about rebellion not being tolerated.

This would be later known in history as the Bronze Age Collapse, and invasions by the Sea People.

After Earth's first Kali Yuga, the Elohim were said to have left and never returned, but the harsh, oppressive nature of the Elohim, and their intimidating presence, this would influence many religions all over the earth, as can be seen with how brutal and hedonistic gods in Greco-Roman, Mesoamerican, and Norse mythology are.

### Trivia

* Its believed that the Elohim are related to the Anunnaki and were either a separate faction from the same planet, or reinforcements to further consolidate power
* By the actual events of the series, Earth is actually in its *fourth* Kali Yuga, with the entirety of World War 2 being the second Kali Yuga, and the Cuban Missile Crisis up to the September 11th terror attacks being the Third, although the Elohim didn't show up
* While there's no one "leader" or "head" of the Elohim, one person they seem to mention is someone named Baal.
