A.) because they became greedy and petty and “morally bankrupt”, and the “ gods” became angry because the people had lost their way and turned to immoral pursuits. Order says. As punishment, he says, the gods sent “ one terrible night of fire and earthquakes” that caused Atlantis to sink into the sea.
