Judgment Day: Atlantis

Here is a rendering of the outskirts of Atlantis, 3,600 B.C.E. The situation is critical. According to Plato's telling of the legend, the inhabitants of the city (Atlanteans, as they are now known) became war-like, and were on the verge of destroying the neighboring country of Greece. The gods grew angry, and Poseidon- the god of the sea and whose island the city is upon, sent in a tsunami to obliterate the prosperous civilization. The moral is; conquering and destroying is a very bad thing. Alas, it is a lesson learned too late as the front watchman sounds a warning that will save few, if any. Rendered in Photoshop.
