Throughout history, people tend to look back at an exclusive age of perfection; a time when human achievements were larger, happier life and the world was generally a better place.
In religious terms, this often meant a time when the gods lived on the Earth. In secular terms, it has led to theories of prehistoric civilizations whose technologies exceeded, or, at least matched that of the modern world.
Because none of these early civilizations convincing remains visible, have left the theories which concerns them to lay their almost total disappearance. Most have done by finding them on continents which then sank under the oceans, never to be recovered.
Personally, I feel that everything, including civilizations are cyclic. And that man high degree of science, civilization and religion has reached many times in the past only that they destroyed. I think we many "Golden eras" have had in the past and will again in the future.
Atlantis:
There are three main lost continents from the past. Atlantis, located in the Atlantic Ocean, has attracted the widest conviction. Stories about Atlantis were recorded by Plato (c428-347 BC), his Timea/Crimea. These stories have since held the popular imagination. Plato, Greek philosopher, described Atlantis as an advanced civilization, which was destroyed because it is more than the borders stepped and became evil.
A number of authors during the nineteenth century, wrote extensively about this subject. They featured many religious, occult (great use of "mind power" do the work that our machines are doing today) and anthropological theories. Research suggests today that historical references to Atlantis may originate from a civilization based on the Mediterranean coastline.
Lemuria:
The second continent, Lemuria may have been the original garden of Eden. Some theories say that it was located in the Indian Ocean and some in the Pacific Ocean. The British zoologist Philip Sclater and German biologist E.H. Haeckel named the continent "lemuria" after the lemur, which is found in Africa, India and Malaysia.
Life on Lemuria found generally not to have reached the advanced civilization of Atlantis. Helena Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner believed Atlanteans were descendants of the Lemurians.
The third main lost continent, Mu, was located in the Pacific Ocean, according to discoverer, Colonel James Churchward, it boasted a very advanced civilization that was destroyed by natural causes.
A slightly different set of theories places such lost civilizations "within" the Earth, which is said to have been hollow, with holes at the ends.
There is the Hawaiian Huna beliefs, the theory of "Ancient astronauts", by Erich von Daniken in his book "Chariots of the Gods" (1971). This theory argues that extraterrestrial creatures in the ancient earth, possibly mating with people and teaching them amazingly advanced technological and esoteric knowledge visited.
This would explain the extremely refined early feats of construction and engineering such as the Egyptian pyramids.
Although this theory is scoffed at by many, there are old pictures of creatures who seem to wear space suits (for example, in the Val Camonica cave paintings in Italy). They can be seen in Europe, Africa and South America as well.
