'''Lemuria''' was an ancient continent in south-east [[Asia]], [[Australia]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]] that gradually subsided well over a million years ago, according to both 19th century geology and the doctrines of the [[Theosophical Society]]. It was named after the [[lemur]], a species of primate that exists in these regions, but also shares its name with the ''Lemuria'', the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] festival of the dead on 9, 11, and 13 May. It's name also appears to contain the element [[Mu]], the name given to a lost continent in some versions of [[Maya|Mayan]] mythology. Lemuria was said to have been the place where early and primitive species of human beings first evolved, but gradually subsided into the sea in a series of cataclysms over millions of years, eventually giving way to [[Atlantis]].
