By the early 20th century, Lemuria was being identified with the 15th century story of Kumari Kandam. The land was touted as the birthplace of all humankind and the home of the Pandiyan, who had been rulers of the entire Indian subcontinent.
Presenting the Tamil people as the oldest civilization in the world and its language as the world's first was key to nationalistic sentiments of the time. It was the now-expanding conception of Lemuria as the birthplace of the human race that brought it to the attention of occult circles. By the s, the idea of Lemuria was appealing to Helena Blavatsky, the co-founder of the Theosophical Society, a mystical occult organization founded in in New York.
According to Blavatsky, humanity had evolved — and was still evolving — through a series of seven stages. Blavatsky claimed that the current human race was the fifth race, while the Lemurians had been the third stage in humanity's development.
Later Theosophists picked up on Blavatsky's ideas and further expanded the concept of Lemuria. Perhaps the most notable theosophical writing on the subject was the work "The Lost Lemuria" by William Scott-Elliot, which included a map showing that the current conception of Lemuria was far more than the simple land bridge that Sclater had proposed.
Scott-Elliot's Lemuria was a vast continent stretching from India to New Zealand, of which Australia was a surviving piece. He also posited that Aboriginal Australians were descendants of ancient Lemurians. Theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater, who claimed to have gained knowledge of Lemuria through "astral clairvoyance," describes the Lemurians as egg-headed creatures walking lizards on leashes. Central to the concept of Helena Blavatsky's evolution of the human race are what she called the seven root races, which are the different stages of human development across time.
According to Blavatsky, humanity now stands at the fifth stage, of which the root race is the Aryans. Yes, this is some nonsense that the Nazis ate up like delicious pudding. Theosophy World explains that, under this belief system, the first race was the Polarians, ethereal, non-corporeal beings who reproduced asexually like amoebas. The second race was the Hyperboreans, who lived at the North Pole — which was tropical at the time — and reproduced via balls of sweat.
The Lemurians were the third race, and they were foot-tall, four-armed, hermaphroditic beings that laid eggs and coexisted with dinosaurs. Originally they had only one eye, but they then developed three eyes, and then eventually the third eye turned into the pineal gland. Also, they eventually invented sex about The fourth race was the Atlanteans, of whom you may have heard.
The Theosophists believe that the Atlanteans were the first humans to develop speech, and that their language was the basis for Sanskrit. They were also evil wizards, which is why they had to be destroyed by a flood. The fifth race was of course white people, and the sixth race will be androgynous ghosts who live in Baja California. Nothing is known about the seventh, final stage of human development. The original conception of Lemuria was clearly in the Indian Ocean, spanning from Madagascar to the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent, but as time went on and the idea was conflated with other lost mystical lands, the physical area of Lemuria expanded until it covered a good chunk of the Pacific Ocean as well.
One other such sunken continent that was soon identified with Lemuria was the lost continent of Pan, which is described in the Spiritualist text "Oahspe: A New Bible," by John B. California, like Madagascar, has its own hard-to-explain flora and fauna, and so the idea of California as a surviving chunk of a lost land only increases in popularity after Newbrough.
Newbrough, by the way, was a dentist. Got Questions explains that he wrote "Oahspe" through the spiritualist technique of automatic writing, in which the medium enters a trance and lets an external force — in this case "the angel hosts of heaven [ In the late 19th century, Le Plongeon had been studying Mayan hieroglyphics at Chichen Itza and claimed to be able to read them.
He stated that the glyphs told the story of a princess of a lost continent, which he presented in a book with the inarguably scientific-sounding title, "Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx. Perhaps needless to say, Le Plongeon's ideas were pretty roundly ignored by the legitimate archeological community.
They were not, however, ignored by the occult writer James Churchward above , who picked up on Le Plongeon's ideas in his own work. Churchward claimed to have found and deciphered a set of tablets in the lost fictional Naacal language, which told the story of the sunken continent of Mu, which Churchward moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. He presented his ideas in his book "The Lost Continent of Mu," which described Mu as an enormous continent in the Pacific, south of Hawaii.
Needless to say, moving Mu to this location led to its being conflated with that other eastern hemisphere sunken continent, Lemuria. Finding the enclave of deep rocks that, according to the author's inference, bring them to the surface during an eruption would be much more convincing evidence. Learn what's inside the Earth. The zircons "produce a range of ages, but all yield ages older than million years, and one is almost 2 billion years old," he added.
Based on the new findings, Mac Niocaill and others think other vanished microcontinents could be lurking beneath the Indian Ocean. In fact, analyses of Earth's gravitational field have revealed other areas in the world's oceans where the rock appears to be thicker than normal and could be a sign of continental crusts.

Words by rebeccathoughts Do you feel you could have experienced a past life in Lemuria? In that case, we are descendants of the great society of Lemuria. Do I believe any of this stuff?
Of course not. What do you think? Are you as fascinated with Lemurians as I am? Let us know in the comments! Coincidentally, it seems this was typed up very recently. They came to me, gave me a pink diamond necklace and revealed to me that I was one of them.
Then, they guided me to a cave where they scanned me with an extremely high technology scanner that made me disappear into another society filled with other Lumerians. They explained to me that I was a mermaid and sent me to get thick books about my history from some sort of mystical library. Then, when I got home, I saw someone flying a mermaid kite. This was the most random thing, ever. Of course I believe I have had a past life there because the same exact thing happened to me with Apollonia.
After that, I came to the conclusion that it was actual me in my original form of life, in another dimension. I was also contacted via dream by the Sirians. I was surrounded by dolphins and whales in the dream and they were all staring at me in the water waiting for me to direct them.
It was very strange. So, 10 years later, this lady who gives intuitives readings about where each of us comes from gave me a reading and she does this by channeling and looking at the energy of the eyes.
