Scientist discovers followers of Lemuria

I think it's an interesting story

He seems a bit manic to me.

I am quite fond of stories and have several books he seems to have read himself in his profuse mania. Le Plongeon's Works (A FREEMASON), The Lost Continent of MU, A Dweller on Two Planets, An Earth Dweller's Return, and The Sun Rises (Direct from Lemurian Fellowship), are interesting stories but so is Heinlein’s Stranger In a Strange Land. Even in the later, ideologies and movements seem to have arose...albeit without much hubbub about it being an actual account.

Stories provide growth and mind expansion as do many texts. Even if they were/are real accounts, the mind expansion and growth is something I feel comes closer to grokking and TAGging than any factual account. I believe this is something many forget in the wash of supposed factuality in religions, alternative history, conspiracy, myths, etc that can seem to be latched onto and propounded without much depth of thought.

It's just an observation and my opinion, but I believe early man created wonderful stories of magic, myths, legends and gods because of the harsh and unforgiving conditions in which he found himself.

Life was short and brutal, you would be constantly hungry, always moving, pain and death stalked everyone – you were very lucky to reach thirty in the stone-age of Europe.

You had no real understanding of medicine or why someone suddenly died, partially children, the infant mortality rate must have been high and with no developed concept of disease control, combined with basic scientific ignorance, the stone-age survivor must have viewed his existence with some fear.

Hence, the stores of magic that can cure ills, raise the dead, provide food, then the stories became more complicated, God's appeared – they controlled the uncontrollable (nature), some gave life after death – most appealing to a people who had very short life-spans by today's standards. Then as mankind progressed and life became more complicated for the average human, so the stories became more elaborate to appeal directly to the awaking intelligence of humans.

That's how I believe it all started, religion, legends etc. all from the fertile imagination of man – simple to start with, like a child. Then far more complex and demanding, like an adult.

I believe (IMHO) that man's evolution began with his imagined view of the environment in which he found himself and how it could be controlled – all from fear, doesn't that sound like how many of the 'desert' religions began?

Just my thoughts.....

Bringing back people to previous lives, way back, most arrive at Atlantis or Lemuria, male or female archetype.
I'm pretty sure they once existed as countries / continents and / or cultures and that Lemuria / mu existed before Atlantis. If I were to find remnants of Lemuria I would look in and around easter island, beneath the ocean floor, because it is more likely a few hundred thousand years ago (not 12 thousands years ago) that Lemuria existed so almost impossible to find anything.
To me the 'scientist' wants to make a buck in the future selling books on healthy 'Lemurian' food.

It seems some russians are opening up to ancient mysteries, but threw the process of making money off open minded/ gullible people.

But as to Lemuria, certainly think it existed. svaha check out this older post, i know others have posted on it sense. I do believe this is some of the remains of Lemuria, and that the Japanese, and likely the Chinese are decedents of that culture. but more so Japanese.

Is the Yonaguni Monument the Remains of Lumaria?
The Atlantis of the pacific?, subject of lore and alternative histories...

The Yonaguni monument, sometimes incorrectly called a pyramid, lies in about thirty meters of water, south of the Japanese island of Yonaguni; in fact Yonaguni is much more closer to Taiwan than Japan, see the bottom picture. The monument, 150 meters in length, looks like a multi-layered platform, with all kinds of connecting "staircases", that seems to have some ceremonial purpose; around it are many other, smaller constructions that look equally artificial. The following picture collage, from a German website, provides a quick overview of the main features that make part of the monument and its surroundings. These pictures look slightly electronically sharpened compared with the other underwater images (or else they had almost perfect diving conditions), but they do not really modify what is there. A further look at the monument and its site is best started with overviews and maps of the site to make sense of what you see in the more detailed galleries.

Yonaguni, one of the Yaeyama islands, is here an invisible speck at the left of the box. In fact, it is the most western point of official Japan. The big island to its left is Taiwan, which is visible from it some days of the year.

Since underwater pictures have a limited range of visibility, it is difficult to get an overview of the entire monument. The ones that could be found have been collected below, together with maps of the island and its location. Note that there are substantial differences between the different overviews of the monument. The relation between the large scale structure and the detailed pictures is given on the link map page.http://www.altarcheologie.nl/index.html ... ramids.htm


A schematic overview of the main monument.

A schematic topview with some of its surroundings.

This corresponds to the lower left quarter of the monument as depicted above. Most of the pictures are of this part, because it has the most detail, and even here the features are measured in meters. The even larger dimensions elsewhere are difficult to photograph due to the limited range under water. (sketch by Kihachiro Aratake, the discoverer of the monument)

This is a slightly larger overview of the area, with the monument itself outlined in red. Features denoted as Gosintai, Nakagusuku, Minami sinden (South Shrine), and Stadium are not part of the main monument, and are featured on the Other submarine finds page. Iseki Point is the location of the site at Yonaguni, see below.

"Stadium" is part of the underwater ruins area, so one can see the area is quite large. Tachigami-Iwa (some kilometers away) and San'ninu-dai are features above water that are possibly related to the underwater finds,

Ah yes, Lemuria. Mu.

Anyone want to know the true origins of the hypothetical continent of Lemuria?

The name Lemuria resulted from a Nineteenth Century controversy over Darwin's Origin of the Species. Defenders of Darwin had trouble explaining how certain species became distributed over large areas. Zoologists had a particularly difficult time explaining the distribution of the lemurs. The lemur is a small primitive form of primate found in Africa, Madagascar, India, and the East Indian archipelago. Some zoologists suggested a land mass in the Indian Ocean, between Madagascar and India, millions of years ago. An English zoologist, Phillip L. Schlater, proposed the name Lemuria (LEMURia) for this former land of the LEMURS in the Indian Ocean.

Sorry folks!
(for the record I DO believe in the Atlantis possibility)
