The Olmec
via britannica.com
Once residing in the tropical region of Mexico, the Olmec were a nasty group who tended to favor human sacrifice and bloodletting. Though vicious, they also managed to invent a written language, potentially predating the Phoenicians. They managed to determine the number “0,” a concept that was groundbreaking mathematics for the time. The foundation of nearly all Mesoamerican culture, natural disaster or possibly their own reckless form of agriculture doomed them.
Khmer Empire
via unearthedsa.wordpress.com
The Khmer is a vast area that encapsulates what is now Angkor Wat, but was once the metropolis of Angkor. Sprawling and grand, Khmer died from overfarming, war, and droughts that caused scarcity of resources. The Thai people then claimed it, turning it into Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and other regions of Southeast Asia.
The Clovis
via bbc.com
Historically thought to be the oldest culture in North America, the Clovis have no written records, which is the only reason they don’t throw all of us out for trespassing. All we know of them are a set of stone tools found in New Mexico. Currently, there is some debate, as new relics have been found that pre-date the Clovis.
Anasazi
by Doug Meek at dougmeek.com
The name is commonly known, particularly in the southwest where many small cliff dwellings are carved out of the living mountain. Existing largely around the 12th century, BCE, the Anasazi didn’t disappear so much as suddenly leave their homeland in the 12th and 13th centuries, CE.
Mayans
via businessinsider.com
Former pride of the Yucatán with massive structures spreading across the land from Mexico into South America, there’s quite a bit known of Mayan teachings, as their complex calendar, mathematics, and engineering systems can still be seen in the scientific community. What isn’t precisely clear is why this powerhouse fell. The best guesses point to climate change and internecine warfare.
Mycenaeans
via youtube.com
Popping up in southern Greece around 1600 BCE, the Mycenaeans were known to be a powerful naval force and adept traders. How they declined is an unknown quantity, though invasion, regional earthquakes, or civil unrest.
Rapa Nui
via nationalgeographic.com
Capable of building impressive heads (Moai) that are attached to immense stone bodies, the Rapa Nui are better known as the Eastern Islanders. Clearly artists and artisans of grand skill they were also capable of island hopping around treacherous waters, proving they were nimble atop the sea. The best guess as to what became of these chiselers is that they used up too many resources and had to abandon their homeland for, literally, greener pastures.
Aksumite Empire
via thoughtco.com
The Roman Empire largely worked with the other major superpower of the time, the Indian Empire. Both these immense bodies traded heavily with the largely unknown Aksumites. The first major empire to convert to Christianity, they had a developed alphabet, and liked to build obelisks, like the Obelisk of Axum, which stands today.
Catalhöyük
via sci-news.com
Known to many as “the world’s oldest city,” this is the capital of a larger group that lived in lower Turkey. The reason this city is notable is because it is built like a hive. No roads or pathways mark the city, as has been the custom, because each home was entered by ladder or climbing hole placed in the roof. A sophisticated city, why its unusual architects left, never to create another like it is anyone’s guess.
The Cucuteni-Trypillian People
via pinterest.com
Neolithic humans who enjoyed patterned pottery, they also would burn their entire village to the ground every 60 to 80 years. They then would build atop the ashes a new place, which would be put to the torch a few generations later. Climate change or assimilation is decreed to be the downfall of the Cucuteni-Trypillian arsonists.
Nabta Playa
via internationalresearchsociety.wordpress.com
Likely the same group that would later found Egypt and major civilizations in the Mesopotamia region, architects and astronomers were certainly among these early geniuses. Nearly 11,000 years ago, these people were creating stone circles that helped diagram the stars. They laid the groundwork for the study of the night sky, but left when the region became too arid to support the people.
Minoans
via heritagedaily.com
We’ve only known about the Minoans for about a hundred years, which isn’t a lot of time to unravel much of their mysteries. Dedicated to living on the isle of Crete, they hit their peak in 1600 BCE, but were then rocked by a flurry of natural disasters, beginning with earthquakes and eroding from there. The palace of Knossos belongs to the Minoans, and is a nice spot to stop if you’re near Greece.
Cahokia
via nationalgeographic.com
In the midwest lies an oddity. It’s a small mound city of a people who existed circa 1250 CE. An extensive place, it is estimated that this metropolis probably held a maximum of 40,000 inhabitants at one time. Immense for the era.
The Harappan
via youtube.com
Pakistan was once the beating heart of the world, when the Indus Valley Civilization, called The Harappan during their power, held a huge city under their sway a couple thousand years before the common era. Sanitation systems, mathematics, engineering, and even basic dentistry seemed to be within the purview of the Harappan people. Another likely victim of climate concerns.
Silla
via archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.ca
It’s hard to guess exactly what the story of the Silla people is, since even their bones were largely consumed by the soil of Korea, where they lived. The one body that was found of the Silla was that of a female, with a grotesquely elongated skull that is guessed to be utterly normal among the Silla people.
The Nabateans
via wildfrontierstravel.com
Instead of disappearing mysteriously, it’s known precisely what happened to the Nabateans. They were hit by Roman expansion, broken apart, held under rule, shattered, Christianized, and broken up by multiple enculturation events. They aren’t gone, they were cannibalized.
The Sanxingdui
via edgeoftheworld.wordpress.com
A whole pop-up culture, the Sanxingdui appeared in China for a while, then huge earthquakes in the region altered the entire landscape, and these people dropped off the planet. A quick whack-a-mole society.
Moche
via latinamericanstudies.org
Residing deep in South America, we can glean much about the Moche, since they made exhaustive, detailed sculptures and buildings. The trouble is, without written records of any kind, their lovely, expressive renderings are pretty, and pretty confounding. El Niño likely killed them off, which is why it’s best to spay and neuter your children, per your physician’s instruction.
The Sea Peoples
via maritimehistorypodcast.com
A band of pirates that spent a century attacking the Hittite Empire and the Egyptians, generally terrorizing the Mediterranean, then disappearing to a secret location when their pillaging was done. Lost pirates from nowhere.
### Muses
• Thalia (“The Cheerful One”) was the Muse of Comedy and was often portrayed holding a comic mask or a shepherd’s crook;
• Urania (“The Heavenly One”) was the Muse of Astronomy, and you can often see her holding a globe;
• Melpomene (“She Who Sings”) was the Muse of Tragedy, and she is either holding a tragic mask or some other symbol of tragedy (sword, club, buskins);
• Polyhymnia (“She of the Many Hymns”) was the Muse of Hymns and sacred poetry, often depicted with a pensive look hidden behind a veil;
• Erato (“The Lovely One”) was the Muse of Lyric Poetry; naturally, she’s usually represented with a lyre;
• Calliope (“The One with a Beautiful Voice”) was the Muse of Epic Poetry; Hesiod claims that she was the foremost among the nine, since “she attends on worshipful princes”; Calliope can often be seen holding a writing tablet;
• Clio (“The Celebrator,” “The Proclaimer”) was the Muse of History, and, quite fittingly, she usually holds a scroll;
• Euterpe (“She Who Pleases”), was the Muse of Flute-playing, which is why she is time and again portrayed with an aulos;
• Terpsichore (“The One Delighting in the Dance”), was the Muse of Choral Lyric and Dancing; as expected, she is usually shown dancing and sometimes holding a lyre.

### Submerged lands
Main articles: Submerged continent and Continental fragment
The Sahul Shelf and the Sunda Shelf during the ice ages and today. The area in between is called "Wallacea".
Although the existence of lost continents in the above sense is mythical (aside from Zealandia[2] and Greater Adria[3]), there were many places on Earth that were once dry land, but submerged after the ice age around 10,000 BCE due to rising sea levels, and possibly were the basis for Neolithic and Bronze Age flood myths. Some were lost due to coastal erosion or volcanic eruptions. An (incomplete) list follows:
Sundaland, the now submerged Sunda Shelf.
Kerguelen Plateau, a submerged micro-continent which is now 1–2 kilometres (0.62–1.2 miles) below sea level.
Beringia, connecting Asia and North America.
Doggerland, the bed of the North Sea, which once connected Great Britain to Continental Europe before being inundated by rising sea levels during the Holocene.
A large island in the Mediterranean Sea, of which Malta is the only part not now submerged.
Maui Nui, once a large island of the Hawaii archipelago; several major islands represent residual high ground of Maui Nui.
New Moore Island, an island in the Bay of Bengal which emerged after a cyclone in 1970 and submerged in 2010.
Strand, an island off the German coast with the town Rungholt, eroded away by storm surges before being washed away by a final flood in 1634.
Jordsand, once an island off the Danish coast, eroded away by storm surges before being washed away by a final flood between 1998 and 1999.
Ferdinandea, submerged volcanic island which has appeared at least four times in the past.
Ravenser Odd, a large 13th-century town on an old sandbank promontory in East Yorkshire, which became an island and then vanished in January 1392.
Dadu Island, which was legally the southernmost point of the United States of America, located at Palmyra Atoll and still shown on the map (an incorporated U.S. territory), was a bare sand islet washed away by a storm in 2014. (It was named after a dog, "Dadu", that had lived at the atoll.[4])
Semyonovsky Island, an island that was discovered in 1770, it had rapidly decreased in size, 4.6 km2 (1.8 sq mi) to 1823, 0.5 km2 (0.19 sq mi) in 1936, by the 1950s it was just baydzharakh and when visited in the early 1960s it had been submerged due to erosion.
Lost continent
Zealandia, a scientifically accepted continent that is now 94% submerged under the Pacific Ocean, surrounding the areas of New Zealand and New Caledonia.
Greater Adria, a continent connecting between Italy and Northern Africa
Hypothetical lost continents
In the 1954 book Lost Continents by L. Sprague de Camp, he describes many modern writers who have speculated about ancient civilizations that existed on continents now deluged under the sea.[5] According to de Camp, there is no real scientific evidence for any lost continents whatsoever.
The most famous lost continent is Atlantis. Atlantis, like Hyperborea and Thule, is ultimately derived from ancient Greek geographic speculation and possibly memories of the Minoan eruption of the Thera volcano.
The name of hypothetical vanished continent Mu originated from the first attempted translation of the Madrid Codex, one of only four remaining Maya codices.
Lemuria was a hypothesised continent that was believed to have once connected India, Australia and Southern Africa.

### Tarot
- [Tarot Archetypes List (of the Major Arcana)](https://knowyourarchetypes.com/tarot-archetypes/#Tarot_Archetypes_List_(of_the_Major_Arcana) "Tarot Archetypes List (of the Major Arcana)")
### 1. The Fool
The Fool is the ecstatic traveler who views the world through the eyes of a toddler. Most tarot professionals agree that the Fool represents each of us – naive wanderers through life, off on a great expedition, out to learn everything the tarot wishes us to learn.
### 2. The Magician
The Magician is the talented and crafty master of all he puts his mind to. He represents a person who’s in charge of life’s methods and tools, such as those on the table in front of him. These tools are the wand, pentacle, sword and cup – the 4 symbols of the Minor Arcana.
### 3. The High Priestess
The High Priestess is the mysterious keeper of spiritual knowledge. Guarded and very secretive, she knows the secrets of life, but only reveals them to the wise.
### 4. The Empress
The Empress represents the mother-archetype that is known for nurturing and protecting all of creation – including mankind.
### 5. The Emperor
The Emperor is the ultimate provider and protector who rules over all creation. He is an authority figure that brings order from chaos so that mankind can experience prosperity.
### 6. The Hierophant
The Hierophant represents traditional influence and authority. He’s at the top of the family hierarchy, and is determined to uphold his cultural and religious beliefs.
### 7. The Lovers
The Lovers represent the twin principles of attraction and opposition. While an appearance of The Lovers may give hope to hopeless romantics, this card may also imply that a decision has to be made between two equally strong desires.
### 8. The Chariot
The Chariot facilitates forward movement and progression. A charioteer is believed to be in charge of his emotional and physical drives, even when they seem to be in opposition.
### 9. Strength
Strength is a lovely lady, who bears the heart of a lion. She soothingly holds on to the jaws of a lion, calmingly controlling a force that could otherwise end her life.
### 10. The Hermit
The Hermit is a recluse, far detached from normal day-to-day life. He ponders on various spiritual matters, and holds the light of wisdom as a beacon for others.
### 11. The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is the spinning wheel of fate and destiny. Because change is inevitable and nothing is promised, the Wheel of Fortune represents the fundamental principle of karma.
### 12. Justice
Justice is both the enforcer and giver of laws. As the final arbiter, she holds a 2-edged sword that acts as a reminder that Justice cuts both ways.
### 13. The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man gives up his passions and comfort for a time, knowing that there are better things ahead. He is the visionary that sacrifices fleeting pleasures for eternal rewards.
### 14. Death
The Death card represents transition. Like the Grim Reaper, who takes away from existence, this card represents the action of turning over to a new page, the end of one phase of life, and the beginning of a new chapter in your life.
### 15. Temperance
Temperance is the archetype that represents balance. With grace and dexterity, Temperance teaches that moderation can be a bridge to wholeness.
### 16. The Devil
The Devil is the shadowy and dark side of our existence. The Devil represents a self-centered commitment to material wealth and evil passions that can tie you down and prevent you from experience true happiness.
### 17. The Tower
The Tower is a powerful venting of pent-up energy. It’s resembles a lightning bolt that can bring down any tall structure to its foundation.
### 18. The Star
The Star is a glowing light in the dark that, like the goddess of the nights, represents guidance, inspiration and hope.
### 19. The Moon
The Moon is the eternal mirror of the sun, and a symbol of the unconscious mind. The moon represent the mysteries and secrets that mankind may not understand, or may be oblivious to.
### 20. The Sun
The Sun is a symbol of action and consciousness. It’s the source of life, light and warmth on earth, and also the center of the universe.
### 21. Judgment
Judgment brings everything to light, symbolizes the start of a new world, and acts as a reminder of the importance of forgiveness.
### 22. The World
The World represents the inexhaustible, spiral dance of life. This card symbolizes success and conclusion, as well as the opportunity to begin a new round.
