The USA was written to draw parallels between Atlantis and our current civilization. The similarities concerning use of technology, social pathways and political aims are unnerving. According to archeologists and researchers the ancients did posses a high level of civilization that became their downfall possibly causing the cataclysmic changes on Earth. Shouldn?t we heed history? Following in their footsteps will only recreate the same outcome. It's as if we are caught in a time loop. Twelve thousand years later we are repeating the same mistakes. As the year 2012 draws near and the Mayan Calendar ends will we see a new, enlightened era as many prophets predict, or will doomsday win out and the ?end days? befall us?
