H.P. Lovecraft's short story, "The Doom That Came to Sarnath", made the thought of a entire civilization being destroyed in a single night could unexpectedly happen at any moment. The accomplishments of Sarnath became useless against the return of an ancient conquered enemy, Ib. The falling of the city could happen to any city or civilization. The effects of the attack of the people of Ib rippled through the lands around Sarnath. The disaster inside a country today causes other nations to send aid for the victims. The loss of the resources and trade from the towns hurts places around the world. The effects may be worse and cause destruction inside bordering countries and continue to spread.
"The Doom That Came to Sarnath" made a thought that no civilization can avoid or predict the downfall of itself. Sarnath was home to worry free citizens and nobles who never thought the actions of the past would affect their success in the world. The real world has seen many empires and civilizations fall to the ground. Some dwindled slowly while others vanished in months. Sarnath contained riches and wonders with achievements the rest of the world could never accomplish. The city seemed to be eternal yet fell quickly and without warning. The world now many be very different in the next 500 years.
