A compelling new portrait of the lost realm of Lemuria; the original motherland of humanity• Contains the most extensive and up-to-date archaeological research on Lemuria• Reveals a lost; ancient technology in some respects more advanced than modern science• Provides evidence that the perennial philosophies have their origin in Lemurian cultureBefore the Indonesian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina’s destruction of New Orleans; there was the destruction of Lemuria. Oral tradition in Polynesia recounts the story of a splendid kingdom that was carried to the bottom of the sea by a mighty “warrior waveâ€--a tsunami. This lost realm has been cited in numerous other indigenous traditions; spanning the globe from Australia to Asia to the coasts of both South and North America. It was known as Lemuria or Mu; a vast realm of islands and archipelagoes that once sprawled across the Pacific Ocean. Relying on 10 years of research and extensive travel; Frank Joseph offers a compelling picture of this motherÂland of humanity; which he suggests was the original Garden of Eden.Using recent deep-sea archaeological finds; enigmatic glyphs and symbols; and ancient records shared by cultures divided by great distances that document the story of this sunken world; Joseph painstakingly re-creates a picture of this civilization in which people lived in rare harmony and possessed a sophisticated technology that allowed them to harness the weather; defy gravity; and conduct genetic investigations far beyond what is possible today. When disaster struck Lemuria; the survivors made their way to other parts of the world; incorporating their scientific and mystical skills into the existing cultures of Asia; Polynesia; and the Americas. Totem poles of the Pacific Northwest; architecture in China; the colossal stone statues on Easter Island; and even the perennial philosophies all reveal their kinship to this now-vanished civilization.

It is saved from "coffee table" status by some penetrating insights into such things at shipbuiding methods; or the composition of the Admiralty administration. It left me with the need to follow up many subjects; and I count that a plus for this type of book. I was a little disappointed that there was so little nexus between the sections of the book; and O'Brian's stories. One of the joys of O'Brian's work is that it seems closely related to fact; and I'd hoped for the little tingle of pleasure when the fact and the fiction are joined together.on a very minor point; it seems to me that the cover illustration shows a ship whose sails are not properly set...some are on starboard; and some on port tack. If I'm wrong; someone please show me my blunder.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. For Every Aubrey FanBy Kindle CustomerThe 2 people I bought this for just love it. They have all of the Jack Aubrey books and both music CD's (based on the books); plus other relevant books. They were both happy to add this book to round out their understanding of the series..2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Royal Navy - Jack AubreyBy jbchenelleThe book is quite well researched and comprehensive. It covers the subject of the Jack Aubrey Royal Navy very thoroughly and is very readable. Could use some more detailed and informative drawings in the sections describing the details of ship design and rigging; however.
