Research & Sources

To create a mythological, historic, epic you need familiarize with the topic. If you don't know what you are writing about, your readers will know. I refuse to make stuff up without the common knowledge. So I must learn it!

The Lost Civilization of Lemuria

Research for Chapter 4

The Lost Civilization of Lemuria

Before the Indonesian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina’s destruction of New Orleans, there was the destruction of Lemuria. Oral tradition in Polynesia recounts the story of a splendid kingdom that was carried to the bottom of the sea by a mighty “warrior wave”--a tsunami. This lost realm has been cited in numerous other indigenous traditions, spanning the globe from Australia to Asia to the coasts of both South and North America. It was known as Lemuria or Mu, a vast realm of islands and archipelagoes that once sprawled across the Pacific Ocean. Relying on 10 years of research and extensive travel, Frank Joseph offers a compelling picture of this mother­land of humanity, which he suggests was the original Garden of Eden.
