New Atlantis
New Atlantis is a prominent archaeological and historical site within the Siege of the Chrono-Lords universe, known for its mysterious origins and connections to the advanced dinosaur civilization, the Chrono-Lords. This legendary city is believed to have been a hub of ancient human civilization that vanished under enigmatic circumstances, possibly linked to the temporal manipulations of the Chrono-Lords.
Discovery and Significance
New Atlantis was first discovered during the early 21st-century excavations by a team of archaeologists exploring anomalies in the temporal fabric of Earth. Located beneath the Atlantic Ocean, the site revealed remnants of an advanced human society, suggesting a level of technological sophistication that predates known historical records.
The significance of New Atlantis lies in its potential connections to the Chrono-Lords Ascendancy, a period when dinosaurs, equipped with alien technology from the Uplift Asteroid, began altering timelines. Researchers hypothesize that New Atlantis could have been a focal point for these temporal alterations, which may explain its sudden disappearance.
Architectural and Technological Features
The architectural style of New Atlantis is a blend of ancient and futuristic elements, with structures that resemble both megalithic constructions and advanced technological designs. This fusion supports theories of interaction between early humans and the Chrono-Lords, possibly facilitated by the use of devices like the Chrono-Sphere.

Ethical and Historical Implications
The possible involvement of the Chrono-Lords in the fate of New Atlantis raises ethical questions regarding their influence on human history. This topic is a focal point in the ongoing Debate on Chrono-Ethics, which examines the moral responsibilities associated with temporal manipulation.
