Can someone tell me all about the lemurian continent?

Lemuria was a continent that people aren't really sure if it existed or not, kinda like atlantis. They were said to be peaceful people and largly agricultural. There continent was off the shores of greece but disappeared into the sea according to legend. Very little is known about this continent, if it even did exist. Its vagely mentioned in early greek writings, but then again they were known for creating mythology.

Lemuria was a theoretical lost continent. The theory (which came about in the 19th century) was that some large land mass must have existed at one time in the Indian Ocean in order to account for unexplained (at the time) differences in biodiversity in that region of the world -- specifically, how lemurs could be found in Madagascar AND India, but NOT in the lands connecting them around the Indian Ocean. These bio-geographical issues were explained later by plate tectonics, so the theory that a Lemuria must have existed became obsolete. In any case, there was never any evidence for such a sunken continent anyway.

But your question is more on the mythology of Lemuria. The concept of Lemuria jived with the ancient Tamil legends of a lost continent in the Indian Ocean called Kumari Kandam, which came to be regarded as "the cradle of civilization." Here's the Wikipedia article on Kumari Kandam:

Also, just as with Atlantis, the fascination for the idea of such a lost world lived on even though the theory didn't. Lemuria has cropped up in pop culture numerous times. You can review it all at another Wikipedia article:

Lemuria (pronounced /lɨˈmjʊəriə/)[1] is the name of a hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The concept's 19th century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities in biogeography; however, the concept of Lemuria has been rendered obsolete by modern theories of plate tectonics. Although sunken continents do exist — like Zealandia in the Pacific and the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean — there is no known geological formation under the Indian or Pacific Oceans that corresponds to the hypothetical Lemuria.

Though Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis, it has been adopted by writers involved in the occult, as well as some Tamil writers of India. Accounts of Lemuria differ, but all share a common belief that a continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of a geological, often cataclysmic, change. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims.
