Higher civillizations have short existence

[Anaximander]

Atlanteans
Sythians
Egyptians
Sumerians
Babylonians
Hellenes
Romans
Indus walley
Angkor
Akkadians
Mayans

Where have they gone?

It seems every civillization reach it's peak and slowly destroy itself.

Western (Anglo-American) culture seem to follow the same path.

Hellenes live until today. Their civilization may have been transformed , but the people are almost identical.

Every nation has it's end.

Western Anglo-American world will also end, it's just question when, 20,50,100,200 years..

Genetically speaking yes, culturally no.

"Atlanteans", lol.

The vast majority of the civilizations you mentioned were not short lived. They lasted centuries, some even thousands of years. Decay is inevitable though. One of my favorite authors on the subject has got to be Oswald Spengler (German historian and philosopher), he wrote the Der Untergang des Abendlandes which theorizes that any culture is a superorganism with a limited and predictable lifespan.

I remember reading a theory about how civilization relates to geography in a cyclical way?like it moves back & forth to specific geographies. Do you know anything about it?
I've tried finding something similar but no result..

In 50 or 100 years Albania and Bosnia will be high civilizations

Maybe

I have never heard about that theory. It concerns the previous civilizations or an hypothesis for the future? Thinking about it though, I would not say that is impossible for higher cultures to flourish where previous ones existed, but we live in a such globalized environment nowadays that it is unlikely for "new" higher cultures to spawn on a regional level as it used to in the past (imo). Likely in the future there will be one or two major civilizations and most of the social constructs will be uniform.

Regarding the past civilizations, geography and environment did play a roll in the downfall of certain civilizations across history. The Indus Valley began its downfall due to severe droughts that phased out a sustainable water supply. That is actually an interesting topic to reflect on how climate changes might affect us in the future, possibly even turning flourishing regions\continents into inhabitable wastelands.

as long as Constantinople exists we will always be High civilization.

Situation is very bad atm, but who knows what will happen in years to come.
