Lemuria is a hypothetical lost continent, said to have existed in the Pacific Ocean, long before Atlantis. It doesn’t come from ancient myth (like Atlantis via Plato) but emerged later through a mix of 19th-century science, spiritualism, and esoteric revelation.

19th-century science | Early zoologists like Ernst Haeckel speculated a lost continent in the Indian Ocean to explain how lemurs were in both Africa & India. They called it “Lemuria.” |
Theosophy (Blavatsky) | Turned Lemuria into a full-on ancient civilization of a Third Root Race—telepathic, spiritually advanced beings |
Churchward (1920s) | James Churchward claimed Lemuria (or Mu) was a vast Pacific continent with advanced humans 50,000+ years ago |
Located across the Pacific Ocean (some say it stretched from Hawaii to Easter Island to parts of Asia)
Existed hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago
Home to tall, peaceful, spiritually advanced beings
Deeply connected to nature, intuition, emotion, and the divine feminine
Communicated telepathically; lived in harmony with Earth and cosmic rhythms
Eventually sank due to natural disasters or a shift in planetary consciousness

Location | Pacific Ocean | Atlantic Ocean |
Timeframe | Older (1–5 million+ years ago) | Later (~50k–10k B.C.) |
Polarity | Yin (feminine, intuitive) | Yang (masculine, technological) |
Focus | Heart-centered, spiritual, harmonious | Mind-centered, powerful, experimental |
Fall | Gradual, with some ascending | Sudden cataclysm, due to hubris |
Survivors | Said to have seeded Polynesian, Andean, Indian, and Tibetan cultures | Said to have influenced Egypt, Mesoamerica, and Europe |
Said to be high-vibration beings, some of whom "ascended" to higher dimensions
Believed by some to have left behind crystals, sacred knowledge, and energy grids
Mt. Shasta (California) is often claimed as a portal or refuge for surviving Lemurians, now living in a higher dimensional city called Telos
Frequently connected to Pleiadian starseeds, Atlantean reincarnates, and lightworkers
People drawn to Lemuria often:
Feel deeply connected to the ocean, animals, plant medicine, and feminine energy
Are empaths, intuitives, and healers
Are interested in soul memory, light language, and earth-grid work
Have past-life memories or dreams involving crystal temples, water rituals, or oceanic cities
Scientifically? No solid evidence—continental drift and plate tectonics don’t support a sunken continent in the Pacific the way these stories suggest.
But spiritually or symbolically? For many, Lemuria represents:
A golden age of peace, unity, and soul harmony
A memory of a lost paradise where we lived closer to Source
A blueprint for a new Earth consciousness
