Yes, that makes more sense, I'd lean towards a descending order (or at least, regular sequences). Venus is the shining one, so that's a different and better interpretation, and as you said, Lemuria was in the tropics, which also fits. The other planets make sense too, especially self-destructive technology and a fading out. We certainly shouldn't ignore Uranus & Neptune (which would be 2 and 1 respectively) -- the ancient astrologers didn't have the benefit of knowing them, but their influences would be there regardless.
One more time:
the Moon -- Polarians (infancy) Mercury -- Hyperboreans Venus -- Lemurians (the shining one) Sun -- Atlanteans (golden zenith) Mars -- current 5th cycle/Aryans (some might object, but by any name, we're an unruly lot. Mars fits our love of warfare) Jupiter -- the 6th cycle, yet to come Saturn -- the 7th cycle, yet to come (limits, longevity, legacy, possible senescence) Uranus -- the 8th cycle, possibly yet to come (advanced, short-lived, self-destructive) Neptune -- the 9th cycle, possibly yet to come (gradual fading-out)
Thus, 9876543(21). Alternatively, 6789543(21).
One more thing, an idea popped into my head, that you could describe the civilizational cycles as a day: dawn (Polaris), early morning (Hyperborea), late morning (Lemuria), noon (Atlantis), early afternoon (Aryans/you are here), late afternoon (Jupiter), early evening (Saturn), late evening (Uranus), night (Neptune).
