The Lost Lemuria. Evidence Supplied : p. 1 THE LOST LEMURIA EVIDENCE SUPPLIED BY GEOLOGY AND BY THE RELATIVE DISTRIBUTION OF LIVING AND EXTINCT ANIMALS AND PLANTS. It is generally recognised by science that what is now dry land, on the surface of our globe, was once the ocean floor, and that what is now the ocean floor was once dry...
The Lost Lemuria. Probable Durati : PROBABLE DURATION OF THE CONTINENT OF LEMURIA. A period--speaking roughly--of between four and five million years probably represents the life of the continent of Atlantis, for it is about that time since the Rmoahals, the first sub-race of the Fourth Root Race who inhabited Atlantis, arose...
Untitled : THE LOST LEMURIA BY W. SCOTT-ELLIOT [1904] Title Page THE LOST LEMURIA Maps Evidence supplied by Geology and by the relative distribution of living and extinct Animals and Plants. Evidence obtained from Archaic Records Probable Duration of the Continent of Lemuria The Maps Reptiles and Pine Forests...
The Lost Lemuria. Religion : RELIGION. With so primitive a race of men, at the best, there was but little in the shape of religion that they could be taught. Simple rules of conduct and the most elementary precepts of morality were all that they were fitted to understand or to practise. During the evolution of the seventh...
The Lost Lemuria. Origin Of The Pithecoid : ORIGIN OF THE PITHECOID AND THE ANTHROPOID APES. The anatomical resemblance between Man and the higher Ape, so frequently cited by Darwinists as pointing to some ancestor common to both, presents an interesting problem, the proper solution of which is to be sought for in the esoteric explanati...
The Lost Lemuria. Evidence Obtained : EVIDENCE OBTAINED FROM ARCHAIC RECORDS. The further evidence we have with regard to Lemuria and its inhabitants has been obtained from the same source and in the same manner as that which resulted in the writing of the "Story of Atlantis". In this case also the author has been privileged to obt...
The Lost Lemuria. Maps : THEOSOPHICAL MAPS OF LEMURIA Map 1: Lemuria at its Greatest Extent Map 2: Lemuria at a Later Period
The Lost Lemuria. Origin Of Language : ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE. As stated in the stanzas of Dzyan above quoted, the men of that epoch, even though they had become completely physical, still remained speechless. Naturally the astral and etherial ancestors of this Third Root Race had no need to produce a series of sounds in order to convey...
The Lost Lemuria. The Maps : THE MAPS But not even geological epochs, it will be observed, are assigned to the maps. If, however, an inference may be drawn from all the evidence before us, it would seem probable that the older of the two Lemurian maps represented the earth's configuration from the Permian, through the Triassic...
The Lost Lemuria. The Human Kingdom : THE HUMAN KINGDOM. Before making any reference to what must, even at this early date, be called the human kingdom, it must be stated that none of those who, at the present day, can lay claim to even a moderate amount of mental or spiritual culture "can" have lived in these ages. It was only with...
The Lost Lemuria. The Arts : THE ARTS. To trace the development of the Arts among the Lemurians, we must start with the history of the fifth sub-race. The separation of the sexes was now fully accomplished, and man inhabited a completely physical body, though it was still of gigantic stature. The offensive and defensive war...
The Lost Lemuria. Teachers Of The Lemurian Race : p. 34 TEACHERS OF THE LEMURIAN RACE. But now there occurred an event pregnant with consequences the most momentous in the history of the human race. An event too full of mystical import, for its narration brings into view Beings who belonged to entirely different systems of evolution, and who...

The Lost Lemuria. Reptiles And Pine Forests : REPTILES AND PINE FORESTS. From this statement it will be seen that Lemurian man lived in the age of Reptiles and Pine Forests. The amphibious monsters and the gigantic tree-ferns of the Permian age still flourished in the warm damp climates. Plesiosauri and Icthyosauri swarmed in the tepid marshes...
The Lost Lemuria. Great Cities And Statues : GREAT CITIES AND STATUES. During the later part of the sixth, and the seventh sub-race they learnt to build great cities. These appear to have been of cyclopean architecture, corresponding with the gigantic bodies of the race. The first cities were built on that extended mountainous regi...
The Lost Lemuria. Lemurian Races Still Inhabiting : LEMURIAN RACES STILL INHABITING THE EARTH. It may be as well again to repeat that the almost mindless creatures who inhabited such bodies as have been above described during the early sub-races of the Lemurian period can scarcely be regarded as completely human. It was only after the separati...
The Lost Lemuria. The Arts Continued : THE ARTS CONTINUED. Under the guidance of their divine teachers the people began to learn the use of fire, and the means by which it could be obtained, at first by friction, and later on by the use of flints and iron. They were taught to explore for metals, to smelt and to mould them, and instead...
The Lost Lemuria. Destruction Of The Continent : DESTRUCTION OF THE CONTINENT. Unlike the subsequent fate of Atlantis, which was submerged by great tidal waves, the continent of Lemuria perished by volcanic action. It was raked by the burning ashes and the red-hot dust from numberless volcanoes. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it is true...
The Lost Lemuria. The First Taking Of Life : THE FIRST TAKING OF LIFE. The first instance of sin, the first taking of life--quoted above from an old commentary on the stanzas of Dzyan, may be taken as indicative of the attitude which was then inaugurated between the human and the animal kingdom, and which has since attained such awful...
The Lost Lemuria. Size And Consistency : SIZE AND CONSISTENCY OF MAN'S BODY. The evolution of this Lemurian race, therefore, constitutes one of the most obscure, as well as one of the most interesting, chapters of man's development, for during this period not only did he reach true humanity, but his body underwent the greatest physical...
The Lost Lemuria. Processes Of Reproduction : PROCESSES OF REPRODUCTION. After instancing the simplest processes of propagation by self-division, and by the formation of buds (Gernmatio), Haeckel proceeds, "A third mode of non-sexual propagation, that of the formation of germ-buds (Polysporogonia) is intimately connected with the formati...
The Lost Lemuria. A Lodge Of Initiation : A LODGE OF INITIATION. Naturally it was not for the benefit of the Lemurian race that the Lodge was founded. Such of them as were sufficiently advanced were, it is true, taught by the Adept Gurus, but the instruction they required was limited to the explanation of a few physical phenomena, such...
The Lost Lemuria. Organs Of Vision : ORGANS OF VISION. The organs of vision of these creatures before they developed bones were of a rudimentary nature, at least such was the condition of the two eyes in front with which they sought for their food upon the ground. But there was a third eye at the back of the head, the atrophied...
The Lost Lemuria. Description Of Lemurian Man : DESCRIPTION OF LEMURIAN MAN. The following is a description of a man who belonged to one of the later sub-races-probably the fifth. "His stature was gigantic, somewhere between twelve and fifteen feet. His skin was very dark, being of a yellowish brown colour. He had a long lower jaw, a strangely...
The Lost Lemuria. Founding Of The Atlantean Race : p. 42 FOUNDING OF THE ATLANTEAN RACE. In concluding this sketch, a reference to the process by which the Fourth Root Race was brought into existence, will appropriately bring to an end what we know of the story of Lemuria and link it on to that of Atlantis. It may be remembered from previous...
The Lost Lemuria. Sin Of The Mindless : SIN OF THE MINDLESS. The shameful acts of the mindless men at the first separation of the sexes had best be referred to in the words of the stanzas of the archaic Book of Dzyan. No commentary is needed. "During the Third Race the boneless animals grew and changed, they became animals with bones...
