Map of Magdeologers' Re-creation of the ancientSea of Memnosia around 12,000 AS which is before the Flood of Aturyanda. Sites of ancient cities according to Kalaman and Shelekhumbian Myth are shown. The antediluvian Sea of Memnosia, in contrast to the modern Memnosian Sea, had no outlet to the ocean and was entirely land-locked.

Drameggin (DRA-meggin) is the Midretassene name for an antediluvian civilization thought to have existed in the region of the Memnosian Sea. Drameggin Civilization is the name given to the putative cultures that existed in this region before its coasts and islands succumbed to the flood. These cultures were not part of a single state, but probably gave obeisance of some sort to the Aarokinian Titans who held sway over Asdar before the Flood of Aturyanda. Some scholars believe many of the cities of the Drameggin Civilization rest to this day in the depths of the Memnosian Sea, such as Kathyasundi, a place-name given in the Aturyandakumi.

Drameggin Civilization is about fifteen thousand years or more old. For this reason, artifacts from this time are extremely rare and are usually made of heavy, colossal stone. Scholars today believe that the Jathya-Dhumi peoples and languages were roughly coterminous with Drameggin Civilization.

Legends of the later Kalama civilization give fantastic accounts of a race of sorcerers called the Hezzoumet who transformed beasts and men into therianthropes and who gated in beings from other realms.
