Atlantis and Lemuria - A Preface
Ok, guys, this has been coming up lately, and since the Heavenly Host and its' associated hierarchy is taking a little more time to organize than I'd anticipated (Josh ran off with my notes, I just know it) I figured now would be as good a time as any to clear this up.
Yes, there was an Atlantis and Lemuria.
Yes, they were where you think they were. Atlantis was a floating, manufactured 'continent' in the Atlantic Ocean which then sank and briefly became an underwater city before it too collapsed. Ireland is where the smart Atlantian's went, briefly ruled, and then essentially said, 'fuck this world, let's go wreak havoc in the Spiritscape.' Lemuria was an actual continent in the Pacific Ocean which got its' fool self blown up. The last remnents of it's civilization live on, slightly distorted, in Indian, Japanese, and Chinese culture, as well as in parts of Southeast Asia and a very little in Russian folktales and architecture.
And the big question - Why Can No One Find Indisputable Evidence of Their Existence?
BECAUSE THIS WAS SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS AGO!!!! The fact that ANYONE remembers them is astounding (though the Atlantian's descendants, the Fey, have always been pretty good about slapping people into remembering whenever it seems like they're about to forget). You can say that 'oh, well, the dinosaurs left evidence and they were around even longer ago than these civilizations, so you must be wrong.'
My dear, stupid naysayer, the dinosaurs did not blow each other the fuck up with war machines that make the A-bomb look like a spark of a match. Added to that, there are oceans where these countries were. Think of the Titanic. The Titanic has been submerged for less than a century and is nearly completely deteriorated. There are other ships that have been submerged for longer that seem to be able to hold on considerably longer. Depth, temperature, and salinity all aid in the duration period of anything underwater. Added to that, the places that survived being blown apart sank into subduction zones; places where the ocean floor sinks under tectonic plates of the continents and is melted back to magma.
I'm attempting to persuade Mathias to write a brief history of Atlantis and Lemuria. He lived through them and was involved in their destruction while I was still a child during the wars.
Expect a brief overview of the Heavenly Host and the Spiritscape whenever I can get around to it.
