概要
In the 19th century, scientists were puzzled. Identical lemur fossils and ancient plant species like Glossopteris were found across India, Madagascar, and Africa. To explain it, zoologist Philip Sclater proposed a lost continent beneath the Indian Ocean: Lemuria.
But long before that theory, Tamil tradition spoke of Kumari Kandam — a vast southern land where ancient Sangam assemblies were said to flourish before being swallowed by the sea.
In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore where mythology, colonial-era speculation, and modern geology intersect. We examine Helena Blavatsky’s later pseudoscientific “root race” claims, the revolutionary theory of Continental Drift, the discovery of the Mauritia microcontinent, and how rising sea levels after the last Ice Age reshaped coastlines.
Were these lands real continents, cultural memory, or misunderstood science?
And as sea levels rise again today, could history repeat itself for modern coastal civilizations?
Follow Deep Dive for science that respects tradition, questions assumptions, and separates myth from measurable reality.
