This sounds like Ra's description of the manipulations of the Egyptian hierarchies to the teachings Ra wanted to share with all the people. Although in that case, the outcome was misuse of the pyramids and teachings, rather than physical destruction of the whole territory.
It seems that the process of hiding information from most people, so the elite can gain power and dominate the masses, is something that has happened around the world and throughout history. One question about this is how much this is human nature, and how much it is manipulations from outside of humanity.
I have seen conflicting information about the location of Atlantis; how much of the ruins are intact; whether the technology artifacts and designs of Atlantis have been recovered by contemporary people; whether it might return to the surface.
As I read the Law of One material, it seems to me that what is most important is not to focus on the history of how the material has been distorted through history. What is more important is to focus on the fact that each person and each moment can be loved right now, as a vital part of the One Creator's variety of expression, and able to connect to the Creator's love within. This connection does not require any outward mediator or hierarchy to control that connection.
