Lemuria – the land of elves, gods, and lemurs
The myth of the Great Glorious Past is one of the most persistent narratives among virtually all peoples. It is built on a simple cognitive distortion, which can be briefly described as "things were better before." And one of the most interesting examples of this mythologization of the past is the legend of the ancient continent of "Lemuria," which supposedly sank many thousands of years ago. Vladimir explains the origins of the Lemuria myth, how it is exploited by modern esotericists, alternative historians, and Ren-TV, and the role of several prominent 19th-century scientists in this.
