The Two Forgotten Continents That Came Before Atlantis | Relaxing History Documentary

Long before Atlantis captured the imagination of the world, there were tales of two even more mysterious lost continents—Lemuria and Mu. Were these ancient lands real places, submerged beneath the waves? Or were they symbols of something deeper: forgotten civilizations, ancient memory, or mythic origins?

This documentary unravels the full story of Lemuria and Mu—from 19th-century scientific speculation and colonial pseudoscience to esoteric lore, spiritual movements, and fringe archaeology. Explore how Victorian scientists, occultists, and mystics constructed entire histories of sunken lands to explain human origins, cultural diffusion, and global mythologies.

What began as a zoological theory turned into a vast tapestry of lost worlds—populated by advanced beings, ancient wisdom, and cataclysmic destruction. Today, Lemuria and Mu live on in New Age beliefs, pseudo-historical theories, and alternative history circles.

This is the story of how two nonexistent continents changed the way people thought about the past—and why the myth refuses to disappear.
