On November 18 and 21, 2011, I wrote about the megacontinent Gondwana in this blog. In those posts, I wondered if Lemuria Mu could have been a part of Gondwana. Well, in these maps of the earth, posted as illustrations of the U.K. The Telegraph‘s online article ‘Lost” continent Gondwana sheds light on formation of world today,” there does not appear to be any room for the lost continent of Lemuria. All the present-day landmasses of Antarctica, Australia, and India, which today are separated by the Indian Ocean, were at one time scrunched together to form the megacontinent. Although, I must admit, it is difficult to sort out the land masses from the present-day coastlines of continents. What do you think? Can you see a place, in the ancient maps, where a lost continent could have been located?
