Deep dives
The Origins of Lemuria
The concept of Lemuria originated in the 19th century, influenced by scientific discoveries and mysticism. It started with an ornithologist proposing a land bridge connecting South America, Africa, Madagascar, and India. This theory became popular and led to spiritual entities like Helena Blavatsky incorporating Lemuria into her theosophical ideas. The concept further evolved with the Shaver Mysteries, Hollow Earth theories, and the rise of the UFO mythology. Lemuria is now a versatile and malleable myth, used to support various beliefs and narratives in the New Age and alternative spiritual communities.
