William Scott-Elliot

The Lost Lemuria (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A theosophist and believer of the Occult, Wlilliam Scott-Elliot gives us in "The Lost Lemuria", first published in 1904, a description of Lemuria, along with what he considers evidence of this.
The Theosophists believed they were descendants of the Aryans, and that the Aryans had originally come from Atlantis and Lemuria. Atlantis and Lemuria (also called Mu) were continents in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that were supposedly destroyed in great catastrophes in prehistoric days and sank beneath the sea. They were said to be highly advanced civilizations, capable of many things not possible in later days.
The object of "The Lost Lemuria" is not so much to bring forward startling information about the lost continent of Lemuria and its inhabitants, as to establish by the evidence obtainable from geology and from the study of the relative distribution of living and extinct animals and plants, as well as from the observed processes of physical evolution in the lower kingdoms, the facts stated in The Secret Doctrine and in other works with reference to these now submerged lands.

Autorenporträt

William Scott-Elliot (sometimes written Scott-Elliott) was a theosophist and esoteric author whose works contributed significantly to the mystical and occult landscapes at the turn of the 20th century. Notably, he is known for his elaborations on theosophical teachings, particularly regarding lost civilizations. His book 'The Lost Lemuria' (1904), which is sometimes bundled with 'The Story of Atlantis' (1896), delves into the speculative continent of Lemuria, a hypothesized landmass said to have sunk in the Indian or Pacific Ocean. In this work, Scott-Elliot heavily relied on clairvoyant investigations, especially the seer-abilities of Madame Blavatsky, a founder of the Theosophical Society, and her successors. Scott-Elliot's literary style is marked by an intricate blend of theosophical doctrine, vivid imagination, and pseudo-scientific commentary, which was typical of esoteric writings of the era. He has been considered an influential figure among those interested in the arcane, despite the critical perspective of mainstream science and academia towards his works. His contributions continue to be referenced by enthusiasts of theosophy, ancient mysteries, and the occult.
