-Lost Continents & Civilizations-

Lost continents, islands or other regions, are believed by some
to have existed during prehistory, but have since disappeared as a result of
catastrophic geological phenomena or slowly rising sea levels
since the end of the last Ice Age.
Lost lands, where they ever existed,
are generally thought to have subsided into the sea,
leaving behind only a few traces or legends by which they may be known.
The term can also be extended to mythological lands generally,
to underground civilizations, or even to whole planets.
The classification of lost lands as continents, islands,
or other regions is in some cases subjective; for example,
Atlantis is variously described as either a "lost island" or a "lost continent".
Lost land theories may originate in mythology or philosophy,
or in scholarly or scientific theories,
such as catastrophic theories of geology,
that may later be picked up by writers and individuals outside academia.
Occult and New Age writers have made use of lost lands,
as have native peoples such as the Tamil in India.

As the study "Lost Continents" by L. Sprague de Camp seeks to show,
many modern occult or New Age writers speculate about
ancient civilizations that dwelled on continents now deluged under sea level.
According to de Camp, there is no real scientific evidence
for any lost continents whatsoever.
It is a great theme for fantasy and science fiction writers;
De Camp himself wrote some stories on this theme.

* The most famous lost continent is Atlantis.
Atlantis, like Hyperborea and Thule,
is ultimately derived from ancient Greek geographic speculation.

* The name of hypothetical vanished continent Mu
originated from the first attempted translation of the Madrid Codex,
one of only four remaining Maya codices.

* Something similar seems to have happened upon the discovery
of the Sanskrit literature by Europeans.
Louis Jacolliot claimed to have learned from this literature
about a sunken continent called Rutas.
This in turn seems to have influenced Madame Blavatsky
and her speculations about Lemuria.
Speculations about Kumari Kandam also seem to be linked to this field.
The name Lemuria originated from the scientific hypothesis
about a land bridge between India and South Africa.
With the discovery of the continental drift,
however, this hypothesis is now completely obsolete (?).

In addition to these myths about lost continents
there also are various regional legends about lost lands;
e.g. Lyonesse, Cantref Gwaelod (also known as Lowland Hundred),
or the legend about Lomea, located at the Goodwin Sands.
Unlike the lost continents mentioned above,
whose location has been a matter of speculation,
these lost lands are associated with specified places.

"I see my task, or maybe my mission, to bring to the knowledge of people today
what the ancient people knew and believed in.
To do so by being able to go to their sources and their writings and their depictions,
and treating that material not as a myth but as a true story.
Now, my writings have become a basis of quite a substantial literature.
There are two dozen or more books that are based on my books.
These are in theology, astrology, and so on and so forth,
and I am sure there are many more about which I don't know.
They refer to my writings or are based on them.
I provide the facts as I see them,
and everyone is free to interpret them as they wish."
-Sitchin-

Sitchen believes that we are not alone in the universe.
Going back over half a million a years the planet has been visited by UFO's
and aliens who come here every 3,600 hundred years, from a place called Nibiru.
These entities were not reptilian in nature, but were humanoid,
genetically altering the hominid race that existed on the planet at that time,
to look like them, think like them, and to learn from them.

Zecharia Sitchin was born in Russia and raised in Palestine,
where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew,
other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament,
and the history and archeology of the Near East.
He is one of the few scholars who is able to read and understand Sumerian.
Sitchin attended and graduated from the University of London,
majoring in economic history.
A leading journalist and editor in Israel for many years,
he now lives and writes in New York.
His books have been widely translated,
converted to Braille for the blind, and featured on radio and television.

The Earth Chronicles series is based on the premise that mythology is not fanciful but the repository of ancient memories; that the Bible ought to be read literally as a historic/scientific document; and that ancient civilizations--older and greater than assumed--were the product of knowledge brought to Earth by the Anunnaki, "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came." ...I trust that modern science will continue to confirm ancient knowledge.

The ancient cuneiform texts - some of the earliest known writing, dating back some 6,000 years - told the story of a race of beings called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from a planet in our solar system called Nibiru, according to the Sumerians via Sitchin. If you've never heard of it, that's because mainstream science does not recognize Nibiru as one of the planets that revolves around our Sun. Yet it is there, claims Sitchin, and its presence holds great importance not only for humankind's past, but our future as well.
The peoples of ancient civilization, Sumerians, Egyptians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hittites, Hebrews etc., in their sacred writings all describe gods that physically dwelt on Earth. This was aside from their writings on philosophy and mysticism.
According to the Sumerians these gods came from the planet Nibiru 'Planet of the Crossing.' The Assyrians and Babylonians called it 'Marduk', after their chief god. Sumerians said one year on planet Nibiru, a sar, was equivalent in time to 3600 earth years. They also said Anunnaki lifespans were 120 sars which is 120 x 3600 or 432,000 years.

The Lost Continent's of
MU, Atlantis & Lemuria

The idea of Mu first appeared in the works of the antiquarian Augustus Le Plongeon (1825–1908),
a 19th century traveler and writer who conducted his own investigations of the Maya ruins in Yucatán.
He announced that he had translated the ancient Mayan writings,
which supposedly showed that the Maya of Yucatán were older
than the later civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt,
and additionally told the story of an even older continent of Mu,
which had foundered in a similar fashion to Atlantis,
with the survivors founding the Maya civilization.
(Later students of the Ancient Maya writings have found that Le Plongeon's "translations"
were based on little more than his vivid imagination.)

This lost continent was later popularised by James Churchward (1852–1936)
in a series of books, beginning with Lost Continent of Mu (1931, not 1926).
The books still have devotees, but they are not considered serious archaeology,
and nowadays are found in bookshops classed under 'New Age' or 'Religion and Spirituality'.

Actual publications in Turkish Press point out that Turkey's Independence War leader
Ataturk took great efforts in the later 30s in gathering information considering the lost continent MU
in the hope to find the missing link between the cultural parallelities between the
source of Turkish Civilizations, the Nyghur and Indian - Maya and Aztec culture.

Atlantis & Lemuria

The story of Atlantis begins quite literally with two of Plato's dialogues,
Timaeus and Critias.
These accounts are the only known written records which refer specifcally
to a lost civilization called Atlantis.
Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction,
the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument.
Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events
which may have destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera.
Still others maintain that the story is an accurate representation
of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land.

Lemuria was an ancient civilization which existed prior to and during the time of Atlantis.
Physically, it is believed that Lemuria existed largely in the Southern Pacific,
between North America and Asia/Australia.
Lemuria is also sometimes referred to as Mu, or the Motherland (of Mu).
At its peak of civilization,
the Lemurian people were both highly evolved and very spiritual.
While concrete physical evidence of this ancient continent may be difficult to find,
many people "know" that they have a strong connection to Lemuria.

The Ascended Masters
Ascended Masters, in the Ascended Master Teachings is derived from the
Theosophical concept of Masters of Wisdom or "Mahatmas".
They are believed to be spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations
were ordinary humans, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation.

Originally presented by H. P. Blavatsky in the 1870s, and further developed by
C. W. Leadbeater, Alice Bailey, Helena Roerich, Manly P. Hall.
Later on many others in theosophy-based organizations,
especially in the United States, developed the concept of Ascended Masters
which departs from the theosophical one in several aspects.

It is believed that Ascended Masters are individuals who were formerly embodied
on the Earth and learned the lessons of life during their incarnations.
They gained mastery over the limitations of the matter planes,
balanced at least 51% of negative karma, and fulfilled their Dharma (Divine Plan).
An Ascended Master, in such an understanding,
has become God-like and a source of unconditional "Divine Love" to all life,
and through the Ascension has united with his or her own
"God Self," the "I AM Presence."

It is further claimed by various groups and teachers that the Ascended Masters
serve as the teachers of mankind from the realms of Spirit,
and that all people will eventually attain their Ascension
and move forward in spiritual evolution beyond this planet.
According to these teachings,
they remain attentive to the spiritual needs of humanity,
and act to inspire and motivate its spiritual growth.
