There is so much talk about shifts and changes on both physical and mental planes, so I wanted to stir everything up with my own spoon. I want a piece of this action too.

I've always been fascinated in Lemuria. A legendary string of islands in the Pacific. No certain location, but there are two probable sites, just underneath India or then in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Both locations hold the requirements to fulfill the assumption. Theories have always been based on fauna and flora and the relations on neighboring areas.

Somehow I've always considered the mid-Pacific to be a greater, more suitable spot. The location is perfect if you consider the legend. According to it the continent or island group should have vanquished beneath waters after tectonic catastrophes.

The location would be inside the Ring of Fire. The Ring has probably always been a very active ground for both earthquakes and volcano eruptions. Almost right in the middle is the biggest volcano on the planet. What if the whole ring of fire sank down at one point? Plate boundaries on all sides opened up just enough for this tectonic giant to slip under? And now it has been 'caught in the middle' for quite some time giving indications of it existence on daily bases.

What if there is a pressure from both sides pushing it up to level, as it was before? And what if this action was a result of some cosmic relationship/cycle that we haven't (our culture hasn't) had the chance to observe?

So, if there is a time window of major earthquakes happening simultaneously on both sides, and then with a burp from Hawaii following the quakes, I'd fantasize of the rise of ancient Lemuria.

Hmm, as a matter of fact I wasn't the only one thinking of this Lemuria thing. When the idea came to me I just wrote it off, but there seems to be similar articles around the web. And they all indicate that the Pacific plate would be rising quite a lot at the moment.

I will try to find some hard evidence on this an I'll throw links here when or if I find some...

The idea of Lemuria was to explain the distribution of lemur fossils. After the discovery of plate tectonics the need for a land bridge to explain fossils distributions went away. I believe the land in the Pacific was called Mu. it too was invented to explain language issues. It has less merit than the nonexistent land bridge invented to explain fossil distributions.

Interesting idea.
