Info
Like Atlantis, the lost continent of Lemuria is believed to be the home a lost advanced civilization. To many, Lemuria is a hypothetical land bridge said to have once existed in what is now the Indian Ocean, a land bridge joining India, Madagascar and Australia. Modern day occult and new age believers suppose that it was populated by a race of enlightened magical beings from a pre-historic peaceful Utopia in contrast to the equally advanced but lame populace of Atlantis.
What happened next is anyone’s guess. It is believed that Lemuria sank due to some global cataclysm, a sudden pole shift, a severe shift in the earth’s crust due to the gravity of a large object flying by the earth, the melting glaciers of the ice age, etc. Survivors of the catastrophe are alleged by believers to have spread around the globe and exist to this day either in dimensional pockets or an actual network of tunnels beneath the earth accessed at Northern California’s Mount Shasta.
