1963 begins
It may seem a simple matter to sort out the world's
cultural origins into Atlantis and Lemuria, but once one gets down to digging
into the facts the situation becomes much more complicated at the Pacific end
than one might have believed possible. To define the Atlantean culture zone is
straightforward. You draw a line from Corvo to Ascension Island, and describe
an ellipse connection these two points having a maximum diameter of four
thousand miles at the center point, which will bring it into contact with
Africa on one side and Central America on the other. But when one comes to the
other side of the world the matter is different. There are at least five
cultural centers in the area of which four were probably contemporary, and all
of which were struck by the same disaster which eliminated Atlantis. These were
Gondwanaland, Lemuria, Hawaiika, Nanmetal, and a hitherto unnamed culture which
we will dub the Tuamotu. We can rule Gondwanaland out on the basis of our
knowledge, as it seems to have existed far too early for our purpose, although
subsequent investigations may disprove this assumption. Lemuria lay in the
Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Ceylon, possibly the Maldive islanders and
the Tamils of Canday may be the present day survivors. We know very little
about this continent or its culture, but the survivors certainly put up an
excellent fight against the invading Hindus when

in the 1998 period and after discovered from a fisherman, or what looks to be
walls and monuments under the Okinawa region, which would fall under the region
of the Nanmetal which includes Japan, Formosa, Philippines, New Guinea, and
Nanmetal-Ponape areas. More is known today of certain Polynesian Cultures then
was studied in the early 1960's and there are many books on theories of their
distribution at various times in archaeology. It is still admitted to this day
not enough is known on those regions for there is many basins, or ridges
underwater yet unexplored. But, here is a thing to ponder on, the Australian
Aborigines supposedly arrived to Australia at 60,000 B.C., while in North, or
South America a group of people entered America now speculated between
100,000-50,000. There is evidence around 70,000 years ago a great migration
worldwide had occurred this being prior to some of the great ice ages. They
found in Japan on a volcanic ledge reported in BBC news 500,000 year old huts
made of stick lined wood, and with poles to secure them. It would seem that the
people were already starting to make a tent of wood that in several 100
thousand years could have easily been the partial techniques involved in
building a raft of some sort by say 200,000 B.C. based on scientific
progression. This must be noted it was not found in Europe, but Japan a land
surrounded by water later. We do not know if the 500,000 years was an
overstated date, but if man's great migration is between 70,000 and the 200,000
ago sea travel probably started to formulate in the idea of a log or raft in
order to travel by islands near each other. By at least 100,000 years ago the
rude raft for sea movement is extremely plausible. The case for proof would be
extremely difficult for wood in 100,000 would long since decayed unless placed
in perfect preserving conditions, like a cave with high calcification, or
temperature controls. The odds of even finding that old of a raft would be
insurmountable. The other form of evidence would pictographs on rocks that
would be known to be older then 50,000 B.C. of a raft, and would be difficult
to so assign in date of art, but easier if found in a cave. A good book on the
distribution of cultural language in this region in place names is called 'The
Key' by John Cohane in 1967 which has the above names of these cultures
reviewed in distribution of certain mother tongues in the Pacific. There are
some Pacific Island names that almost go back to 40,000 years, but are now lost
in the type of spelling, or added in pronunciations. What is clear is that
their earliest gods involved fire volcano and water sea worship, and animal
totems with assigned superstitions. There is no doubt the night sky they
assigned stars to in the form of our idea of constellations involved animals,
and land based symbols. It is unknown when these associations occurred, but a
clue is that in some of those every early cultures the Bear by 20,000 B.C. was
in the pantheon of the night sky when on some of those islands the bear did
not exist probably ever in those lands. The Bear Culture were mostly a
Northern Asian and Northern Polynesian type culture, and rarely appears in the
more southern regions in art or night sky beliefs. In regards to Lemuria many
writers have said or speculated that majority of it had sunk by at least
100,000 years ago and that its largest size was 500,000 to 1,000,000 years ago.
There is no geological evidence that yet has refuted this as a possibility, but
most of the geology does not support the size attributed to Lemuria as being as
large as some writers have so claimed. This is due to extremely deep basins in
various parts of the Pacific that take great periods of time usually to form
within. We may take this to mean that Lemuria might have been half the size
claimed not most of the Pacific but at best a 3rd of it, and even
then strung out various land mass thickness' and as at times narrowing into
pearl island chains. The reason Lemuria was exaggerated in its size is that it
was still much larger then Atlantis was in its largest form, and may thus
explain why in Theosophy circles Lemuria was once one of the mothers (in size)
of the Continents. It was possibly larger then Australia or rivaled South
America and Africa in total land mass size. When the worst of Lemuria did sink
we do not see evidence of massive migrations into Australia for the culture
does not appear to be there? When we look to Indonesia and into the other
Polynesians Islands and regions near China a complex culture does seem to in
the form of art appear. There are some Pacific Coast American tribes all the
way down the rim through Central and South America that are peculiar in
themselves and in some cases have many oceanic contacts with China before
Columbus was ever a dream in personage. If we ask the funny question whom along
the Americas as a tribe most appeared to be Indonesian like? It would fall in
the range from Central America to Northern parts of South America which this
tells us that Lemuria mass was mostly in its earlier stages above the equator.
But, geologically speaking the most easy region to build Lemuria up from is
below the equator!!!! The Island Chains are more common and prolific below the
equators in the pacific, which reveal ancient mountain ranges. If we were to
pull the center of this island chain up 15 degrees north it would be exactly on
the equator, so it seems that only 1/3rd of the northern portion of
Lemuria was ever on the equator. Yet 1,000,000 years ago it was a lot warmer
consistently upon those northern island chains, and it does appear to reason
that most of the Lemurians below the equator did not survive second or of the
last destruction. For the southern island chains with Lemurian people in
Australia, and South America do not show these groups very well. If the
destruction was even remotely modeled like atlantis destruction generally from
a south to north direction it would seem our Long Ears (long lobed) went
northward progressively instead of escaping into Australia. Because, we know of
no Long Ears in Australia at 60,000 B.C. This means that a place like Argentina
or Northwest region of the North American Coast and not Easter Island would
have had a better shot of showing some invading group of people like Long Ears
around 50,000 years ago. Ironically, that marks near an earlier period when an
asteroid possibly slammed into the side of eastern Argentina 100,000 years ago.
If the Long Ears remembered this event in superstition I do not think they
would comfortably stayed in this region at which point they would again trek
towards a region such as the Amazon then to Atlantis or Peru then to Bolivia.
It does seem that the Long Ears have only two melting pot locations, one is in
the Caribbean Complex, and the other is with Australian Aborigines in the
fringes of New Guinea, Formosa, Indonesia and Japan regions. The Long Ears are
better preserved in the Indonesian region then Carrib, and also brings up the
irony of the East and West Indies as not a Columbus irony, but a Long Ear
practice irony and India as another site of migration????? This is not about the
existence of Lemuria or not, but it is about the possibility that mans more
secretive origins may well be found in such regions. A case in point that the
Lemurian technologies must have elaborated somewhat over to Atlantis ones when
Atlantis became later more dominant, as India Mythology shows some carry over
of information:
"Vedic armoury:
Agenya was a flame projector
Agnihorta, an aircraft noted in the Brahamanas
Arhani struck like a thunderbolt, similar to the
Vajra
Dhupa, a kind of rocket
Gandharva was an acoustic weapon of some kind
Mohan had a form of magnetic attraction
Santapana was a weapon which scorched and burnt, like
napalm
Vimana, a general term applied to flying machines" 'The
Artificer Tradition in Ancient Times', E. Sykes
In the book by D.G. Panov, 'Proiskhozhdenie Materikov I
Okenaov' State Geographical Pub., Moscow , 1961 he states in page 174:
"During the Quaternary came the final destruction of
the hitherto existing dry land on the oceanic ridges and hills. Atlantis
vanished beneath the ocean waves; Lemuria disappeared into the Indian Ocean;
Polynesia and Melanesia sank into the Depths of the Pacific." Note that he
is saying that there was not one but three lost continents in the Pacific and
some how are culturally distinguished.
