The Lemurian demise is often described in myth as a catastrophic event where the once-thriving continent sank beneath the ocean, leaving only scattered remnants behind. Rosicrucian Harvey Spencer Lewis writes that as the Lemurian continent sunk in the eastern portion of the world, now Asia, the islands east and north of Australia remained remnants of the Lemurian continent. All the races of man throughout the world had one origin in Lemuria, and from this one point, they moved in all directions to cover the face of the earth. Man had his origin in many places throughout the world practically simultaneously.
There are two possible scenarios:
- Humans have one ancestor where genetics and environment caused differentiation
- Humans were created in many separate locations, resulting in multiple creations.
Either way, the descendants of Lemuria are found in present-day California and Oregon.
