==Theories==
Although there are a number of theories that attempt to explain our lack of knowledge of this period of time, most do not have significant enough clout to be seriously considered in a scientific sense. The Drought and Great War Theories,
[[Axdel#Prehistory and early history|Laqytian]] civilisation in western aurora also fell during the vanishing, although in the aftermath a significant amount of extant written material was lost and so evidence of a connection is sparse. Changes in the local climate and natural disasters are hinted at, although it has also been suggested that a weakening trade following the fall of other civilisations in the far east may have indirectly weakened the city states well before its fall. Invaders are also mentioned as the cause for several Laqytian cities suffering significant damage during this period, and these may have been from the far east. However genealogical studies offer little support to that theory though.
===Drought Theory===
The drought theory primarily attests to the shift in climate that often occurs within the Great Auroran desert as a result of the shifts in the temperature oscillations that occur in the
===Great War Theory===
The Great War theory attests that a significant civilization-destroying war befell the civilizations of the Chalcolithic Era, forcing them back into the Stone Age technologically. Many murals on ruins found buried under the Great Auroran Desert often depict battles not accounted for in our modern understanding of history, and as such historians and archaeologists alike place these murals as possible evidence of a devastating war. Stories passed down by the Melit'hasa also mention a major war that their people suffered long ago in their cultural history.
