The Great Cheesecake Enlightenment

Before cheesecake, Atlantis was very different. It was an agrarian society that had little in the way of culture. But when the Atlanteans started moving out of Atlantis into the wider world, they started bringing back ideas from outside. One place, Kaasland, was already well skilled in the making of dairy products when the Atlanteans first encountered them.

A dessert they made was called luntako (dessert of ripened milk). When it was brought back to Atlantis in 145 AF, it was an instant hit. Its name in Atlaans is kaasgatou, which literally translated means "divine dessert". King Gerhard, on his deathbed, proclaimed that to honour all kaasgatou had given Atlantis, all future kings would take the name Kaasgatou.

This is shown in the famous William Wikkelgabel (William Shakefork) play "Hon Let" (The Diet) (corrupted into English as Hamlet). The story of the development of Hon Let, and its effect on Atlantean society can be read here.
