Lemuria Introduction
  According to various esoteric sources, the first civilisation arose 78,000 years ago on the giant continent known as Mu or Lemuria, and lasted for an astonishing 52,000 years. It is sometimes said to have been destroyed in earthquakes generated by a pole shift which occurred some 26,000 years ago, or at approximately 24,000 B.C.

While Mu did not reach as high a technology, supposedly, as other later civilisations, it is nevertheless said to have attained some advanced technology, particularly in the building of long-lasting megalithic buildings that were able to withstand earthquakes. However, it was the science of government that is sometimes said to have been Mu's greatest achievement.

Supposedly there was one language, and one government. Education was the keynote of the empire's success, and peace reigned supreme. It is claimed that the Elders of Lemuria, known as the thirteenth school, moved their headquarters prior to the cataclysm to an uninhabited plateau of Central Asia that we now call Tibet. Here they supposedly established a library and school known as "The Great White Brotherhood". When the cataclysm came this, and a scattering of survivors, was all that was left of the once great empire.
