Paleo-scientists study lost places, times, and species. Similarly, lost, hidden knowledge and places are important to occultists. By the nineteenth century, only a tiny territory on earth was left unexplored; however, to the occultist, submerged, subterranean, extraterrestrial, and astral planes were still available for exploration. Unlike archaeologists and historians, who have a limited archive of historical material to recreate human history, occult groups rely on clairvoyance, channeling, and psychic readings.
By accessing psychic abilities, occult groups can draw on unlimited historical resources to complete the record of human history. For those involved in occult history, humankind’s history is spiritual, not biological, and goes back to creation; for scientists, creation begins with fossils in the Quaternary period, about two million years ago.
Occultists try to provide a complete record of human history, not part of it. Madame Blavatsky argued that civilizations are similar because they are the descendants of a single ancient one. For example, it is not a coincidence that the pyramids in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, and Mesoamerica are outwardly similar. Blavatsky believed all pyramids were the result of a prior civilization. And therefore, the Lemurians and their Atlantean ancestors are responsible for human evolution and achievements.
