Atlantis only exists in the mythical continent. There are similar narratives in the Mexican Indian civilization: four generations of humans have appeared on the earth. The first generation of humans was a generation of giants. They were not residents here, but came from the sky. They were destroyed by hunger. The second generation of humanity was destroyed by a huge fire. The third generation of humans were the ape-men, who were destroyed by cannibalism. Later, the fourth generation of humans appeared, that is, humans in the "sun and water" stage. Human civilization at this stage was destroyed by huge floods with huge waves.
So, was it greed or restraint that led to the final disaster.
