Atlantis and Lemuria, Lost Continents

Atlantis and Lemuria, Lost Continents

by Tom T. Moore

Sixty thousand years ago there existed two additional continents, Atlantis and Lemuria; each about ten to twelve percent larger than the continent of Australia. One located in the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Africa, was named Atlantis. The other was located in the Pacific Ocean, near present day Japan, and named Lemuria, or Mu. Why are Atlantis and Lemuria no longer there?

Scientists have estimated that the oceans of the world are 300 to 400 feet higher than in the past. Ruins of a city have been found submerged off the western coast of Cuba, another on the coast of Spain, and there’s a road off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas. Giant ruins of a civilization have been discovered under the sea near Yonaguni-Jima, Japan. Legend has it (and most legends are rooted in actual events, as I’ve discovered) that the Atlanteans destroyed the remaining six islands warring against one another after the continent was destroyed by earthquakes 18,000 years earlier (as it sat in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge). The Lemurians also sank their continent of Mu during a climactic war 5,000 years after the last islands of Atlantis were destroyed.

Plato wrote about Atlantis in his Timaeus and Critias dialogues, in 360 B.C. These works have been commented upon, but with no proof, many think of them as legends. And Edgar Cayce, known as the “sleeping prophet,” received extensive information about Atlantis and Lemuria while giving “life readings” to people beginning in the early 1900’s until his death in 1945.

The people from Atlantis and Lemuria were just like you and me. If you can imagine the differences in daily life between, say, the people of North America and Europe or Asia, or if you live in Europe or Asia, the differences between you and people living on other continents, that will give you an idea of the sophistication these two societies from Atlantis and Lemuria had achieved over 50,000 years. We have not yet caught up to their advancements in energy and medical treatments. The few Atlantean survivors (and those that migrated prior to the final destruction) traveled in all directions, including Egypt, Guatemala, and the Yucatan, where they integrated with the much less developed local populations.
