DL, do you mind if I treat your questions as prompts for stories, I can give you credit or not -it's up to you.

Higher Purpose question is an excellent one. This will require a deep dive, Thanks for going wide on this one.

Atlantis self-destruct is a good one. I'd say no and yes. So more discourse on this question.

Other civilizations. At least one before Atlantis Lemuria that ended differently.

Thanks for the upcoming three stories. You art Queen of the Most Excellent Questions aka prompts. 🙏
