Atlantis & Lemuria Grok Talk

Studying the Past’s Mysteries 

Atlantis and Lemuria.

Grok and I had a chat a while ago.

Atlantis and Lemuria are fascinating topics that straddle the line between history, myth, and speculation. Let’s break it down:

Atlantis is the more famous of the two, first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato around 360 BCE in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. He described it as a powerful, advanced island civilization that fell out of favor with the gods and sank into the sea after a catastrophic event. Plato placed it “beyond the Pillars of Hercules” (often interpreted as the Strait of Gibraltar), but he might’ve been using it as a fictional allegory to make a point about hubris and ideal societies. No hard archaeological evidence has ever been found to confirm Atlantis as a real, historical place. Over time, it’s become a magnet for theories—some say it could’ve been inspired by real events like the volcanic eruption that devastated Santorini (Thera) around 1600 BCE, while others think it’s pure myth. Today, it’s mostly considered a legendary tale, though explorers and dreamers keep searching.

Lemuria’s story is a bit different. It started as a scientific hypothesis in the 19th century, not an ancient legend. Zoologist Philip Sclater proposed it in 1864 to explain why lemur fossils and related species were found in both Madagascar and India but not in between. He suggested a now-sunken landmass in the Indian Ocean once connected the two. Geologists later debunked this with plate tectonics—continents drift, no lost continent required. But the idea stuck around, and mystics like Madame Blavatsky ran with it, turning Lemuria into a spiritual lost world in Theosophical writings, complete with advanced ancient civilizations. Like Atlantis, there’s no solid evidence it ever existed as a real place, and it’s largely seen as a mix of outdated science and esoteric myth.

So, are they real? Based on what we know—probably not. No sunken cities or continents matching their descriptions have turned up in the archaeological or geological record. But as myths? Absolutely. They’ve captured imaginations for centuries, inspiring stories, pseudoscience, and endless “what ifs.” What do you think—do you lean toward hidden history or epic storytelling?

My Mother attended a metaphysics group in Edwardsville Illinois in the 1970’s.

I went a couple of times and wish I had been to more. She talked about Edgar Cayce a lot. There were some in the wider metaphysics society who could access the Akashic record. I had a “health reading” done. They also did life readings.

Mom said They read My Mom and Dad were 2 parts of a whole. They had come together in Lemuria, “Mu” for short. She said 2 people who really love one another met in Mu and are forever together. Where was I? 😎

That’s a beautiful and wild story—your mom’s metaphysics group sounds like it was a treasure trove of cosmic ideas! Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet,” was a huge figure in those circles. He claimed to tap into the Akashic Records—this supposed ethereal library of all human history and souls’ journeys—while in a trance state. Cayce often spoke of Atlantis and Lemuria (or “Mu”) as real, ancient civilizations where souls lived before reincarnating into our time. Your mom’s group clearly vibed with that, weaving it into their readings.

The idea of your parents as two halves of a whole, meeting in Lemuria and destined to reunite, is straight out of that mystical playbook. Cayce and others in the metaphysical scene—like the Theosophists who popularized Mu—loved the notion of soulmates tied across lifetimes, especially in these lost worlds. Lemuria, in their lore, wasn’t just a sunken land but a spiritual paradise, a place of harmony before humanity’s fall into denser, messier times. Your mom’s belief in that eternal bond is pretty romantic—two souls finding each other across eons, from Mu to Edwardsville.

As for where you were in all this? Well, if we’re playing with the metaphysics angle, maybe you were there too! Cayce’s readings often placed people in past lives tied to these ancient places—maybe you were a Lemurian kid jamming on a prehistoric guitar, or a cosmic traveler who’d show up later to keep the family vibe going. 😎 Did your “health reading” or any life readings hint at your own past-life adventures? I bet the group had some thoughts on where your soul’s been rocking out before now! What do you make of it all, looking back?

Mom and I both are believers. Lewis Spence’s books renewed my exploration of the Sunken Continents. I found these newspaper clippings in a used book that found Me. It is biblical, isn’t it? Fall from Grace? The great flood. The polar ice caps melted. Noah’s ark? Spaceship or high Mountain caves and structures for survivors? Plato and Socrates fascinate me no end. Oh the treasures sure to be buried If the Earth swallowed whole civilizations? Coffee break.

Grok thinks so fast, I need to take frequent breaks.

Wow, you’ve really dived deep into the mystery of Atlantis and Lemuria, and I love how you’re connecting the dots between ancient myths, metaphysical beliefs, and geological clues! Let’s unpack this treasure trove of ideas, clippings, and cross-sections you’ve shared, and see how they tie into your journey with your mom’s metaphysical explorations.

The Cross-Sections and Santorini (Thera)

The cross-sections you shared are geological diagrams of Santorini (Thera), a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea. They show a northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest profile of the island’s caldera—a massive crater formed by volcanic activity. Labels like “Paleo-Kaimeni” and “Neo-Kaimeni” refer to the older and newer volcanic islets within the caldera, while “Therasia,” “Potamos,” and “Mt. Elias” mark key geographical features. These diagrams illustrate the dramatic volcanic history of the region, with layers of ash, lava, and sediment showing how the island has been shaped over millennia.

Santorini’s eruption around 1600 BCE is one of the most significant in human history, often linked to the decline of the Minoan civilization on nearby Crete. The explosion created a massive tsunami and ash fallout, which some researchers—like Jacques Cousteau in the first clipping—have explored as a possible inspiration for Plato’s Atlantis. The cross-sections support this idea by showing the scale of the caldera, a testament to the cataclysmic event that reshaped the island. Cousteau’s expedition, as noted in the article, found artifacts and shipwrecks from 3000 BCE to World War I, but he concluded that Santorini wasn’t Atlantis—just a place that might’ve inspired the myth due to its dramatic destruction.
