Description: A compelling new portrait of the lost realm of Lemuria, the original motherland of humanity
• Contains the most extensive and up-to-date archaeological research on Lemuria
• Reveals a lost, ancient technology in some respects more advanced than modern science
• Provides evidence that the perennial philosophies have their origin in Lemurian culture
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.
Using recent deep-sea archaeological finds, enigmatic glyphs and symbols, and ancient records shared by cultures divided by great distances that document the story of this sunken world, Joseph painstakingly re-creates a picture of this civilization in which people lived in rare harmony and possessed a sophisticated technology that allowed them to harness the weather, defy gravity, and conduct genetic investigations far beyond what is possible today. When disaster struck Lemuria, the survivors made their way to other parts of the world, incorporating their scientific and mystical skills into the existing cultures of Asia, Polynesia, and the Americas. Totem poles of the Pacific Northwest, architecture in China, the colossal stone statues on Easter Island, and even the perennial philosophies all reveal their kinship to this now-vanished civilization.

Review Summary: Racist??? Are White people allowed to be the heroes of any story? |
Date: 2008-08-24 |
|
| |
Details: So it's hard for you to imagine an advanced society of White people in ancient times??? Hasn't there always been an advanced society of White people since, I don't know, RECORDED HISTORY??? Sure we had our Dark Ages when the Satanic State-Churchs kept us in ignorance.
So what if the whole book is true???
What if it was white people that spread across the globe with an advanced civilization?
Then maybe we might see the native tales of white bearded masters as a sign of EVIDENCE NOT PROPAGANDA |

Review Summary: Notes on notes. |

Details: Just some notes on some reviews. Two reviewers mentioned statues of what they thought looked like black Africans in the Americas. There are also statues that look like white Europeans. What's the point? I had a link to a site discussing how the black Olmec theory is based on bad science & continues to pull the theory apart. Unfortunately, the link is now broken, but I'm sure everyone here knows what Google is.
One of the two reviewers that mentioned the Olmecs also mentioned how Cayce stated the Atlanteans were partly of a "red" race. If Atlantis existed anywhere, it would be near the Canary islands & the Azores. The Azores were not populated when they were re-discovered & the Canaries were occupied by the Guanches, a proto-Berber people which were described by the Spaniards as being tall & fair with many blondes in their numbers. Hey, maybe Cayce "saw" some sun tans, but I think that's about it.
Explorers also had mentions of "White skinned" indians who themselves said they were descended from another civilization. Everything I've read on Lemuria mentions the inhabitants as being tremendously tall & fair skinned, so I don't see where this "possible discrimination" comes from. |

Details: Much has been made over the years about the myths of Atlantis while Lemuria is a far less discussed and potentially more intriguing legend. Now, with the release of The Lost Civilization of Lemuria, Frank Joseph, the editor of Ancient American, has written the definitive tome on Lemuria.
Lemuria was a great archipelagoe-based nation that was flooded when a massive tsunami hit the island chain some time before the end of the last Ice Age around 10,000 BC. The survivors then made their way around the world, sharing their scientific and mystical skills throughout Asia, Polynesia, and the Americas.
This book is a compelling read, well-written, and painstakingly researched. Joseph uses the latest archaeological findings, from the totem poles of the Pacific northwest, the stone monuments of Easter Island, to the enigmatic glyphs and symbols in Japan--as well as recent deep-sea discoveries and DNA analysis--to recreate a portrait of a socially and technologically advanced ancient civilization. Joseph's investigations reveal a culture that lived in harmony with nature while attaining a high level of science and spiritual sophistication, a mother culture that gave birth to the various Oceanic-Asian cultures.
One of the reasons why this may be the decisive book on Lemuria is Joseph's erudite and methodical analysis of the topic. Unlike most books about Lemuria, which dance fancifully with speculative theories and metaphysical nonsense, Joseph focuses on factual findings to build his hypotheses. He covers many mysteries that seemingly have Lemurian connections, such as the Yonaguni site off the coast of southern Japan, the magnetized basalt of Pohnpei, the rongo rongo script of Easter Island, and even Caucasian tribesman in ancient China and the Pacific Rim.
In the same manner that Graham Hancock and John Anthony West write with passion and intellect about ancient civilizations, so does Frank Joseph on this fascinating topic.

Review Summary: Good, but with a warped view of Lemuria |
Date: 2007-03-26 |
|

Details: This book provides excellent archaeological evidence that Lemuria exsited. However, I agree with Robert Muniz's review. I too found it odd that the author made "continued emphasis on caucasians as the central agents of early civilization in every location he discussed." Edgar Cayce stated that the Lemurians were a brown and black race, and that the people of Atlantis were of the red race and white race. Why did Frank Joseph write an entire chapter around Edgar Cayce's readings of Lemuria, not mention this statement, and then imply that the inhabitants were white?
Furthermore, it is scientifically proven that polynesians migrated to oceania from Madagascar and that polynesian languages have roots in African languages. This makes Edgar Cayce's theory have weight to it, that the Lemurians were a dark/black race.
Recently, scientists have found that chicken bones of Polynesian origin in what is today Chile. The chicken bones match those of the species found in Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, and SE Asia. Also, the Olmec statues in SE Mexico are distinctly black African in appearance.
If anyone has studied Huna, the ancient art of Hawaiian spiritualism, they would have known that the ancient Hawaiians were psychic.
It should also be known that in the 13th century a Japanese was shipwrecked in Hawaii and the Native Hawaiians called him the "white chief with an iron knife". For more documentation on how shipwrecked Asians were considered "white" by the polynesians, go to http://www.sacred-texts.com/pac/hhl/hhl14.htm and read about the first foreigners to Hawaii after the polynesians settled there.
I do admire the archaeological evidence of Lemuria that the author documented. Don't get me wrong. This book provides good hard evidence that the civilization existed. However, as far as race goes, I am inclined to believe that the evidence links the Native Americans, Asians, Polynesians, and people of African descent to Lemuria. |
