Technically speaking the thread was about making your own culture that died "without history to remember it", and since history remembers the Mayans. Well.
But my post was actually a tongue-in-cheek one, aimed at a long running theme of Vil never being one for the rules in competition threads, so don't take it too seriously. As far as I'm aware the Mayans and the Atlanteans are at least somewhat in-keeping with the idea of the thread, so I'd never really try and discriminate.
In fact, I wouldn't discriminate anyway - It's for Chobek to say what would and wouldn't be acceptable. But as I said, my original post was a jokey one, so don't worry yourself so much hmm?
Of course, if there are any Ancient Egyptians left nowadays, why, that sure would be surprising. ;}P
