The Straits Times (Singapore) published a report on the lost civilization of Lemuria last week. Lemuria (otherwise known as Mu) is said to be situated in the Pacific Ocean between Asia and America. It is a sunken continent, believed to be buried when earthquakes struck. According to an American explorer, Colonel James Churchward, the catastrophe struck some 50,000 years ago. Other reports put the date between 12,000 to 25,000 years ago. The rocky islands scattered over the Pacific Ocean were once a part of the continent.
Diving surveys have shown that land bridges once
linked the Chinese continent to the Kyushu Island of Japan via Taiwan and
Okinawa. There is a chance that archaeological findings near the coasts of
Taiwan might confirm that the island was once linked to the continents of
America. So far, various types of stone architecture have been found
beneath the sea along the Ryukyu Islands. A pyramidal structure of stones
was discovered off the west coast of Yonakuni, one of the islands that
make up the Ryukyu Arc, which includes Okinawa. Its formation resembles
the Mayan pyramids in Mexico. Taiwanese researchers are excited about the
find because Yonakuni is very near Ilan, a county of Taiwan.
Indeed, the lost continent of Lemuria may be the key to prove that Taiwan
is linked to the Americas geographically and not China.
