# The Lore of Atlantis

Long ago, an advanced civilization existed with technology that far exceeded our understanding, particularly in DeFi and artificial intelligence. The work of this great race, the Anunnaki, was lost to time during the Younger Dryas, as wars between otherworldly beings ravaged the Earth. Now, with the Monad main-net nearing, the long-lost but never forgotten kingdom of Atlantis rises again, bringing with it ancient knowledge and power hidden beneath the ocean’s depths.<br>

Atlantis is set to reshape the future of DeFi on the most advanced EVM chain ever known to man.

In the times before the Younger Dryas era, a great cataclysm laid an advanced ancient civilization. Once from a planet far away, which had succumbed to a deteriorating atmosphere known as Nibiru, the Anunnaki (an ancient alien race) made their way to Earth in search of a way to save their civilization, mining gold to try and help save Nibiru’s atmosphere.

The Anunnaki engineered a new dystopian civilization with gods and humans under the same sun. An advanced civilization now known as Atlantis was born. Led by the inscriber of the ancient Emerald Tablets, Thoth the Atlantean ruled a higher society powered by the pyramids’ zero-point energy and AI technology beyond anything you could ever imagine.

However, like all civilizations that rise, Atlantis met a terrible fate. Earth faced a great cataclysm and once again the Anunnaki fled before Atlantis sank to the bottom of the ocean, thought to be never seen again. As for humanity, only a few survived.

For tens of thousands of years, the lost civilization of Atlantis has been searched for, but the wait is finally over as Atlantis has risen from the depths to lead a new technological path on Monad!
