I see the
author claims to be Lemurian, omg, why would you claim you come from a place of
well known fiction?
Lemuria (/lɪˈmʊriə/), or Limuria,
was a continent proposed in
1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater, theorized to have
sunk beneath the Indian Ocean, later
appropriated by occultists in supposed
accounts of human origins. The theory was discredited with the discovery
of plate tectonics and continental drift in the 20th
century.[1]
The hypothesis was proposed as an
explanation for the presence of lemur fossils in Madagascar and India but not
in Africa or the Middle East. Biologist Ernst Haeckel's suggestion in
1870 that Lemuria could be the ancestral home of mankind caused the hypothesis
to move beyond the scope of geology and zoogeography, ensuring its
popularity outside of the framework of the scientific community.
Occultist and founder of Theosophy Helena Blavatsky, during the latter
part of the 19th century, placed Lemuria in the system of her
mystical-religious doctrine, claiming that this continent was the homeland of
the human ancestors, whom she called Lemurians. The writings of Blavatsky had a
significant impact on Western esotericism, popularizing the myth of Lemuria and its mystical
inhabitants.
Theories about Lemuria became
untenable when, in the 1960s, the scientific community accepted Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, presented in
1912, but the idea lived on in the popular imagination, especially in relation
to the Theosophist tradition.
