Customer Reviews

One of the best books on Lemuria!

The author is a a well known authority on Atlantis and Lemuria, and has written an excellent book on the subject. For those who are students on Lemuria or lost civilizations, you will learn a lot from this book. Another book on Atlantis that agrees with this author is Revealed: The Secret History Of Atlantis: The Final, Explosive, Fully Documented Story! Both books are well worth reading!

Excellent Book on Lemuria

This is excellent book ancient Lemuria (Mu). This book contains a wealth of interesting information on the subject and was well-researched. It should be noted that there were many different races living on the vast continent of Lemuria peacefully for thousands of years and to argue which particular race was "better" back then as is is today is ridiculous.

Definitive Look at Lemuria

I have more than a passing interest in Lemuria, and Frank Joseph's new book is a definitive look at the subject. Or I should say subjects, as the book examines a plethora of fascinating topics in a rational, almost scholarly fashion. That's refreshing, because many Lemuria books are filled with wild theories and metaphysical speculation that leave the reader frustrated. Joseph is especially strong in the areas of Yonaguni and other Japanese sites (I was surprised to read about a Mu Museum in Japan) and the mysterious Nan Modal on Pohnpei. He posits a very interesting theory explaining its magnetized basalt. Lemuria presents so many mysteries, from white races in the Pacific to the rongo rongo script of Easter Island, that one can become easily confused. Joseph is skillful in separating fact from fiction, yet he still leaves room for imaginative theories. For example, he agrees with geologists in ruling out an actual continental landmass, but makes a good case for an archipelago spanning the Pacific. I was especially intrigued by his connecting Lemurian mysticism with the ancient religion of Shinto and even the Bohn or Boenpo sect of Tibet, which was a forerunner of Buddhism. In short, this book will keep Lemuria buffs intrigued for many hours and is thoroughly recommended.

Uses recent deep-sea archaeological studies, symbols and records to re-create the ancient civilizati

Before Hurricane Katrina there was the destruction of Lemuria, a kingdom carried to the bottom of the sea. Joseph, editor of several other books on Atlantis, uses recent deep-sea archaeological studies, symbols and records to re-create the ancient civilization and its rare technological achievements. So what happened to the Lemurians? Other accounts presume all was lost: Joseph charts the course of survivors who journeyed to other parts of the world to disseminate their scientific skills to existing cultures. Diane C.

The search for Lemurian evidence

Very well researched with a vast bibliography. The theories offered regarding the function of the odd megalithic structures encountered in the Pacific are very, very interesting and they make more sense to me than the absurd and often sloppy explanations by conservative archeologists. It is very hard to deny that such a primeval culture did not exist.
