The Lost Civilization of Lemuria
Long before the Indonesian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, legend tells of another great catastrophe: the destruction of Lemuria. In Polynesian oral tradition, a magnificent kingdom was swallowed by the sea in a powerful âwarrior wave,â or tsunami. Stories of this lost land also appear in indigenous traditions from Australia and Asia to the coasts of North and South America. Known as Lemuria or Mu, it was said to be a vast chain of islands and archipelagoes stretching across the Pacific Ocean. Drawing on 10 years of research and extensive travel, Frank Joseph presents a vivid portrait of this ancient homeland, which he proposes was the original Garden of Eden.
