(urth) vanished people=Hieros

[Sergei SOLOVIEV]

To me, the green moon of Urth was a result of some "geo-engineering" 
(or, rather,
luna-forming) in the period of maximal technological development of 
humanity.
An atmosphere was created, the trees planted, and then all connection 
was lost.

Even our Moon,
given an atmosphere once,  will hold it for several  million  years 
(maybe tens or hundreds).
