Lemuria Comes Alive in this Book

Trying to prove that Lemuria actually existed is a daunting task for any investigator. But if Mark Williams' readers give its former existence the benefit of a doubt, the wealth of descriptive material he presents is sure to make even the most skeptical among them pause for reconsideration. Having traveled to many of the same places throughout the world he researched, I know his interpretations of these locations in the context of thelost Pacific civilization are correct. His book is not an airy-fairy re-hash of everything re-stated from the 19th Century onward. Instead, he gives us fresh information and credible insights that serve as a modern up-date on this perennially fascinating subject. As such, it at once serves as a superb introduction for readers unfamiliar with Lemuria, and a rich sourcebook more seasoned investigators will find invaluable. While writing "Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria" last year, I relied on some of his unique discoveries to support my own conclusions. Having read and re-read Mr. Williams' book, I felt closer to Lemuria than ever before. It should have the same effect on others.

As mystical as Atlantis yet far less well-known

In Search Of Lemuria: The Lost Pacific Continent In Legend, Myth And Imagination by journalist, editor, and freelance writer Mark Williams is a serious and fascinating look at the lost continent of Lemuria as reflected in the mythologies of Hindus, Australian Aborigines, Polynesians and American Indians. As mystical as Atlantis yet far less well-known, Lemuria's very existence is presented as an open question, and addressed in a thoughtful and well-reasoned discourse. A fascinating and spiritual treatise that embraces metaphysical understanding as well as that of hard science, In Search Of Lemuria is enthusiastically recommended to students of mythology, metaphysics, and paleoarchaeology.

Broaden your horizons

This is a book that really makes you think outside of the boundaries of the average scope of things. The history and archeology information is well worth reading in itself. The possibilities of things that could have happened are endless, and this version is very interesting and intriguing. The way the author describes all phases as related to different parts of our world is fascinating.. And all of it is based on fact and first hand reviews. Buy it!!

Not many books on Lemuria, and this is a good one.

There aren't many books on Lemuria, and this is a good one. Williams weaves his own personal "search" for Lemuria with various evidence and legends, plus discussions of other books as well. Williams takes on a balanced view as he travels the world in search of his lost continent and ancient civilization and keeps the reader interested.

The Power of Lemuria

Lemuria may or may not have been a "real" place, although the author presents quite convincing arguments for its existence. The true power of the book is in its belief in humankind - we become what we imagine and the Limurian mentality is a distinctly possible way of approaching our often discouraging world. We have the power to change our own energy certainly and the energy surrounding us. The author embarks on a true journey - a scientific/historical one and a soul-searcing one in the end. The research is brilliant and thorough, although sometimes difficult to get through. Don't rush this book. Well written with a sense of humor, skepticism and curiousity, it is a fantastic purchase. Brace yourself, you are in for many surprises.
