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. To read more about a similar theory about the destruction of Atlantis please see Asteroid Impact Destroys Lemuria The Nineteenth Century Zoological Theory was purported in an effort to explain the widespread distribution patterns of the lemur, a small primate which can be found in Africa, India, Madagascar, and the Malay Archipelago.
Nineteenth century
zoologists and other scientists conjectured that the lemurs might have come from
a large Indian Ocean island that existed millions of years ago somewhere between
India and Madagascar that acted as a landbridge for them. Philip Sclater, a
geologist, decided to call this landbridge, Lemuria, since it was the ancient
home of the lemurs.
Another theory about Lemuria was Madame Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine Theory. The founded of Theosophy, Madame Blavatsky, asserted in her book, The Secret Doctrine, that an Atlantean book shown to her by the Mahatmas called The Book of Dzyan placed Lemuria in the Indian Ocean about 150 million years in the past. Madame Blavatsky did note, however, that Philip Schlater had come up with the name Lemuria. Madame Blavatsky also spent time in India where there are Indian Sanskrit legends about a sunken continent called Rutas. Madame Blavatsky depicted the Lemurians as a bisexual, egg laying race with a third eye that gave them psychic powers and dubbed them the third root race. When Lemuria sank, they migrated to Atlantis were they evolved into the fourth root race. The Garden of Eden theory was put forth by James Churchward. When he was in India, James Churchward learned an ancient language called Naacal at a Tibetan monastery at Brahmaputra. He used his knowledge of Naacal to decipher the writings on ancient stone tablets hidden in the temple there which told the story of Mu. According to the tablets, a refined race of humans lived on a beautiful tropical continent that was around 3,000 miles wide and 5,000 miles long. Their civilization, which was in many ways superior to modern day life, evolved to the point where their populace included around sixty four million healthy, telepathic people who used astral projection and teleportation as a means of travell and lived together in peaceful harmony.
Most of these people were
killed during a cataclysmic eruption which left only some of the mountain peaks
of the Lemurian continent remaining above water. The survivors of this
catastrophic event became the progenitors of the the present planetary races...
