Lemurien: Aufstieg und Fall der ältesten Weltkultur

by Frank Joseph

Ein riesiges Inselreich erstreckte sich einst im Pazifik, von dem weltweit Legenden berichten. Der Autor forschte und reiste zehn Jahre lang, bis sich durch neue Funde der Tiefsee-Archäologie, uralte Inschriften und Symbole sowie historische Dokumente das Bild einer hoch entwickelten Zivilisation ergab, die in Harmonie lebte, das Wetter und die Schwerkraft beherrschte, sogar Genforschung betrieb. Nicht eine, sondern gleich drei Flutkatastrophen führten ihren Untergang herbei. Die Überlebenden brachten ihr Wissen nach Asien, Polynesien und bis tief ins Innere Amerikas. Indianische Totempfähle, Thailands Architektur, die Steinstatuen der Osterinsel zeigen alle diese Verwandtschaft zu Mu oder Lemurien.

Alles begann auf dem Kontinent Mu, der Wiege der Menschheit. Es gab dort ein hohes Maß technologischer und wissenschaftlicher Kenntnisse, die unser heutiges Wissen in vielen Bereichen weit überragt. Nicht eine, sondern drei Flutkatastrophen sorgten schließlich für den endgültigen Untergang. Den einstigen Bewohnern verdanken wir die Ursprünge aller Kulturen der Welt, gleich ob asiatischer, europäischer oder afrikanischer Prägung, und kurz vor dem Ende war Mu oder Lemurien nicht so sehr ein bestimmtes Land, sondern ein Volk und seine Kultur, und es erstreckte sich über zahlreiche, zum Teil Tausende Kilometer voneinander entfernte Territorien im und entlang des Pazifiks.

"Eine längst überfällige historische Aufarbeitung aller wesentlichen, uns heute zugänglichen Quellen über den untergegangenen Kontinent. Vermutlich das wichtigste Buch über die Urheimat aller Menschen, das je geschrieben wurde."

Mit umfangreichem Bildteil!

About the author

Frank Joseph is the pen name of Francis Joseph Collin, a former activist with the American Nazi Party/National Socialist White People's Party and the founder of the National Socialist Party of America. In 1979, Collin was convicted of child molestation and sentenced to seven years in prison, and he lost his position in the party.

Upon his release from prison, Collin reinvented himself under the pseudonym of Frank Joseph, a New Age writer and a pagan worshiper. In 1987, he had his first New Age book published, The Destruction of Atlantis: Compelling Evidence of the Sudden Fall of the Legendary Civilization.

He wrote articles for the magazine Fate, and between 1993 and 2007 he was also an editor of Ancient American. This magazine focuses on what it considers to be evidence of ancient, pre-Columbian transoceanic contact between the Old World and North America, with the implication that all complex aspects of North America's indigenous cultures must have originated on other continents.

Fascinating theory on Lemuria/Atlantis (yes there where 2 mysterious continents), the technology using the tectonic plates & how they could control the weather with the ancient sites they built. Completely outside of the box thinking but supported nicely by archeological and linguistic facts! I'd say this one will definitely make you think! Could do with more visual mapping tho, it's hard to keep track of all the place references with out an atlas, because the Lemurians basically seeded all the major ancient cultures. Nice pictures of relics but unless your a geography major, the flow from location to location is hard to keep track of. But over all I loved this book!

Edit to review:

Out of curiosity, I looked up the author after finishing reading the book. I discovered that Frank Joseph is the pain name of one, Frank Collins, pictured even here, in Nazi branding and was once a leader in the Nationalist Socialist White People's Party. I should have been more critical when I noticed how many times he mentioned "white" people in his writing. It made me uncomfortable, but I gave it a pass at the time because it was obvious that he was going up against the known narrative. Now, however, I feel that everything I read is of dubious veracity. I remain interested in the subject, as I was before I picked up the book, but feel I need to scrub all of this from my mind and start over. There was clearly a racist motivation behind the research and that leaves it entirely suspect.

________

The text was dense, the name dropping intense. And sometimes, I felt the conclusions were crammed in or forced to fit. However, the preponderance of examples weighed heavily in the author's favor and I found myself continuing to read.

In the end, I'm not totally satisfied that ancient Lemuria is a forgone conclusion, but I am intensely curious and believe that history as it is concluded in our textbooks today has some serious holes. For one, discounting the oral history of so many people groups seems like cutting off our nose to spite our face in the search for the origins of cultures.

Together with information from my earlier readings in The Book of Enki by Zecharia Sitchin from the Sumerian texts and also the writings by Rudolf Steiner on the Spiritual Evolution of Earth and Humanity-from the beginnings of Mother Earth to the start of humanity and it's various root races of the past including the Lemurias and Atlanteans. I can't helped but be amazed at how the puzzles seem to synchronize and fall into place!

Definitely one of the best books I have ever read.
Very well documented,written and very believable.

Im only a few pages in and I find it creepily, purposefully inaccurate.
Nan Madol according to him, "had no market place, temples, or storage areas, not even a cemetery to bury its dead." Also " not a single carving, relief, petroglyph or decoration of any kinds been found at Nan Madol....nor has a single toiler weapon so far been discovered" That can not be further from the truth. In 1986 three field seasons were planned to establish the overall Nan Madol developmental sequence and to clarify its relationships to other Pohnpei sites. The project has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, private matching funds, and substantial donated field time by myself and other participants. The Historic Preservation Offices of Pohnpei State and the Federated States of Micronesia have been centrally involved in these projects.

Portable artifacts recovered at Nan Madol number several thousand and include shell tools and ornaments, pottery, and stone tools. Food remains that provide a basis for dietary and activity pattern reconstructions have been collected from a variety of contexts. Nan Madol ceramic collections show considerable variability suggestive of major stylistic changes and non-local production sources typical of chiefly exchange. The results of islet mapping and testing provide chronological control over intra-site stylistic and functional variation in ceramics and shell artifacts. Representative samples of the site's major architectural clusters and of other sites which represent different functional and temporal variations are available. Patterning studies indicate a correlation between high status remains (artifacts, food remains, and architecture) and certain islets.

NanDowan was a tomb, that of the first San Deleur king, the first of their dynasty.

Pls see the evidence presented by Mark D. McCoy and Helen A. Alderson using 230 th/U coral dating and geochemical sourcing megalithic architectural stone in Quaternary Research, vol 85, issue3 pp 295-303. Among many, many others.
If the very first thing he decides to write about is such abject crap how will the rest be?! The guy clearly picks 'references' suitable to his agenda ignoring the rest of data and embellishes. If the book had been written in the 70's or 80's it may be forgivable due to lack of data but in 2006 it just seems ridiculous.
I wanted to believe, you just made it impossible Frank Joseph. No wonder main stream science view most of these theories are crackpot dribble.

Oh, hahaha just read your bio adjacent.. .A peado Nazi! hahahahahahahahahahaha

I only ever heard whispers of Lemuria from new age circles. I was expecting this book to be full of myth and fancy. But I am absolutely floored by the amount of hard evidence for an advanced civilization that exists from Japan to New Zealand to Alaska to Peru. The more I read about the ancient world, the more mainstream archaeology is confirmed for me to be not a science, but a cult. Only one star lost for the dubious and repeated logical leaps a la, "And this is obviously evidence of Lemuria".

If you are a Legend of Zelda fan you are going to love this book! Learning about the land of MU is literally Hyrule!!!

Frank Joseph presents a most interesting theory on cultures, agriculture and other other exchange within the Pacific Rim community. I thought some of his 'guess work' was a bit of a stretch in times but the amount of information throughout the book lends itself to serious consideration of a common thread between peoples separated by the big blue Pacific. It's well worth the read and especially about an archaeological site I had known nothing about: Nan Modal.

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

As far as similar architecture between China, Egypt, South America, and elsewhere in the Pacific is concerned, this book does a good job of explaining how they are all connected through the lost continent of Lemuria. It even goes to show the Mu-Atlantis connection and how they were separate, yet related.

I really like this book! It gives great insight into the human race and all the wonders of the world.
