One of the possible explanations that resonates fairly well with the truth about the destruction of the large continent of Lemuria "Mu" located in the Pacific Ocean, as recorded in the Cosmic Archives are those put forth in Hindu stories about the fiery destruction of the "Pure Land". This paradisiacal garden continent was according to legends the real birthplace of humanity and the cradle of civilization. The Polynesians told of the destruction of their beautiful and wondrous home by a devastating volcanic eruption or cataclysmic destruction. Recent genetic studies have indicated that sometime in the past there was an monumental, environmental catastrophe that greatly reduced the population and available gene pool, which produced a population bottleneck that significantly curtailed genetic variability. This lends some scientific credence to the fact that some calamitous occurrence affected the planetary populace sometime in the past. This theory has been bolstered by the fact that gigantic tidal waves swept over the oceans when the Sumatran Mount Toba erupted 71,000 years ago. It has also been speculated that asteroids that either passed dangerously close to the Earth or actually impacted the planet might have been the cause of intense vulcanity, as well as, glacial meltdown, and the rise of the sea levels.
There has been a similar theory postulated in regard to the destruction of Atlantis outlined in a book by Otto Muck called, "The Secret of Atlantis". In the book, he purported that an asteroid strike on the planet around 8,500 B.C. was responsible for the destruction of Atlantis. He speculated that the asteroids were miles wide and hit with the explosive force of thousands of hydrogen bombs. Muck proposed that a particularly large asteroid impacted the primary segment of Atlantis which was situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The shock of the asteroid collision caused massive tidal waves which engulfed the entire sector, triggering earthquakes, and splitting the Atlantic Ocean apart along the line now known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Two smaller asteroids hit the Caribbean sea floor near Puerto Rico creating depressions 23,000 feet deep.
Muck also suggested that a
rapid shifting of the Earth's poles ensued which resulted in a new geological
age with markedly different seasons. A cool but habitable Siberia
was suddenly plunged into an icy Artic cold; and, thousands of healthy mammoths
and wooly rhinoceroses were flash frozen.
