Throughout history we have civilizations that rose and fell. We find their remains in both ancient structures and writing; some of which we have relatively little knowledge of their culture. With time swallowing their remains up with the ruthlessness of the elements its possible many older civilizations have gone unnoticed, and their lessons not available to is now. With every passing year we find more and more 'sunken cities' under the waves. Proving that even in the days of the ice age there were civilizations of man building and teaching. Although water being the true element of destruction; these truly ancient cities lasted over 15 thousand years of corrosion. No more than rocky skeletons they show that ancient man had more going for them than wearing loin cloths and picking berries.
Throughout time man has chosen to make their capitol cities on the water, for both travel and trade. That bein true there are likely many more undiscovered cities slowly eroding with the tide; completely cutting a big chapter out of the rise of man. Like in the past our oceans will rise until all of our great coastal citperished perished beneath the surface of the ocean and civilization will retreat to the higher grounds. Of course the planet will then move into the ice age state and the oceans will receed and wither as the polar caps freeze it up and grow in size. This great cycle has no end, and has always had a major impacr of civilizations, and will always continue to do so.
After the waters rise man will retreat to high ground and lose almost all the markers of thir high civilization to the sea. Their gathered intelligence will be no more. It wouldn't take long for the massive oceans coverring the globe to reflect enough solar heat to start the caps freezing and the oceans receeding. From generation to generation of survivors the tales of once mighty and seemingly magical beings would be told. As the coast line drops man will follow. Rediscovering the lost empires; along with the technologies and knowlede spared by the lifeless.and currentless oceans that stagnated over it.
Soon the next generations will be more adept with the lost knowledge, doing their best to recreate them from the remains. Soon enough things like electricity would become available again in small doses and various techniques. Mammoth aized machinery like tanks and bulldozers will be reconstructed or repaired; underground sealed facilities will be ceacked open and the science inside reborn. Man will slowly begin to reclaim the vast encyclopedias of knowledge they had lost centuries before. As time continued the weather would get colder and the oceans lower. Eventually everything would be under a chill and the sea level will be to where it was during the last ice age. This isnt the end of mans struggle but only the beginning; for as the water level freed the even more ancient structures below the waves, something awoke.
For all of mans triumphs and discoveries the most important one lost was about to be found again. Apparently ice age man was a great deal more intelligent than previously thought. For they had created sentient and concious beings from metal and named them gods, and they had turned on man and sought to control and dominate them. Our current history is vividly alive with tales of Gods and their awesome powers, and every culture has the story of when the gods flooded our planet in anger. That anger also trapped them within the confines of their bases, unable to breach their sanctuary without flooding it and destroying them.
Of course with the drop in sea levels the lost doors to their kingdom were no longer covered by the ocean and they flooded out like a storm of glowing silver locusts upon man. And this is where the story really begins; with the Gods embarking on a mission to enslave man once more. Its up to man to use both their own rediscovered technology and the techonology of the Gods to remain free.
Choose a side. Choose a weapon. Choose mans destiny.
