@@TheLilKon Elaborate, please. Also, North America does have Tropical Rainforests in the southern parts, like the Caribbean Islands and Central America (Which is generally classed as part of North America.) Now, I’m unsure whether there are some Tropical Grasslands in North America, but given the diverse landscape, I wouldn’t doubt that. And if your argument is based on saying that Asia also has the same diversity in climates, well I should remind you that Asia has a lot less diversity than you’d expect once you look at a biome map. Just because something is bigger, doesn’t mean it has a wider variety of attributes, and Asia is a very wide continent, resulting in large and less diverse regions.
Actually an interesting one. The rush to nuke Japan at the end of WW2 in the timeframe they did it was to screw the Russians out of getting any of the spoils from Japan's defeat because of a pre-negotiated declaration of war by Russia on Japan that the US organised, but the vaguely pro-russia folks in the Roosevelt administration were swapped out for Truman's people who were extremely anti-soviet (IIRC the big one was Truman's chief of staff, but don't quote me on that one I might have my positions mixed up) and the people who had negotiated the former deal were out the door. If Roosevelt had survived to finish out his term the ending of WW2 may have gone rather differently.
The neatest part is, once sonar allowed us to map the ocean floor, we might not have found "Atlantis" or "Lemuria" but we've still been able to find submerged micro-continents and fragments. Such as Zealandia and Doggerland.
@@lawjef This might surprise you, but just because a schoolkid notices something doesn't mean it's necessarily true. _Some_ of the continents (mostly just South America and Africa TBH) looking like they fit together doesn't mean much without some idea of how they might have been forced apart and evidence that can most easily be explained by moving continents. Which, on the face of it, is a pretty ridiculous concept! Continents are big, and (appear to be) rooted to the Earth itself. But by the same token, a vanishing continent is also pretty silly.
@@lawjef Hindsight bis always 2020 m8. Remember Rolls theorem's actual meaning is literally childish and yet it takes upto highschool calculus to actually write it down.
@@lawjef Ironically, Science isn't as clear-cut as it seems. Today we look at history and we go "Of course it's this! How stupid must our ancestor's be to think otherwise!" but it's not that simple. The Scientific Community is filled with people who have biases towards certain theories. Anyone can sound like their knowledgeable. So it really becomes a game of politics when one theory gains popularity. The only way to prove or disprove a theory is to either empirically show someone, or prove it through equations. This is what happened during the Galileo affair. Galileo's arrest and heresy wasn't because the Church tried to stamp out reason. It was because Galileo couldn't prove the parallax shift. Neither his models nor his equations were convincing because Aristotle had already refuted his explanation millennia ago. His Heresy, was that he questioned the authenticity of the scriptures. Of course, Galileo was somewhat correct, however it would take until Newton to fully prove Heliocentrism. There's the Caloric theory which was believed to be the explanation of heat up until he mid-19th. Which, get this, heat was from a weightless fluid. This got disproven by our development in understanding thermodynamics. We often take for granted the technology and math that we have. Science is just another game of politics of people trying to refute each other while claiming their smarter.

Did you know that Atlantis is probably based off an actual island. In the bronze age, what we now know as Santorini (Thera) had a much bigger volcano in the middle. This volcano was an island surrounded by a ring of water and on that island there was a city (we know this because of ancient paintings in the area). Then, at around 1800-1700 BC, there was a huge eruption that caused this island to sink. The eruption may have also caused the downfall of the Minoans on Crete, leaving Linear A as a long extinct writing system. Plato's inspiration probably came from this island.
I thought Helena was just some random rich russian lady that had some generic 'oh shes a mage' tossed into her background, with a cheap bunch of team steroids and several good six digits.

I've been studying history for twenty plus years and never even heard of Lemuria....and now I'm glad I did. Thank you for bringing this lost continent up from the depths for our enjoyment.
It would be intresting to see what history would have been like if lemuria , Zealandia , Doggerland , green greenland/ antartica/sahara where a thing ...
Actually Wegener didn't come up with the tectonic plates theory, he did come up with the Theory of Continental drift, but he couldn't explain which forces caused the continents to drift so most other scientists didn't belive him at the time. Only after his death was he proven right when the tectonic plates and forces were discovered.
Glad to see Jimmy is back after the sudden and long disappearance. What happened to him anyway and why appeared now? And may you, Cody, get settled in peacefully and safely. Suggestion: What if the Golden Horde never fell?
How odd. Few hours before you released this video my wife was talking about muskrats. Which led to lemmings, then lemurs, and finally to lemuria. Didnt even know about this continent til today and then you cover it.
What about Old Zealand because there an actual scientifically theorized for about 20 years now sighting its huge heights and tectonic plates leaning towards its prior existence
It wouldn’t be called Old Zealand though, New Zealand was named after a place in the Netherlands. Hence why the Dutch originally called Australia “New Holland” too, after another Dutch region.
was Madagascar India and Australia but india broke from Australia and Madagascar and started drifting upward until it crashed into Asia forming the himalayas and to this day India is still slowly moving upward into Asia making the Himalayas taller
I got a "What If" suggestion. What if the SCP Foundation was real and a Broken Masquerade scenario appears where the entire world finds out that anamolies are real and that multiple global secretive organizations are real?
Considering the SCP Foundation has anomalies capables of rewriting the past and stuff like that, nobody would even notice. Things would get back to normal after some time.
@@thorshammer7883 Ah well, yes it would be. Although I'm certain they (and the majority of GoI) will try to maintain everything hidden the longest time possible, so there might be knowledge of a few anomalies and not of the anomalous in general. If, for some reason, everything leaks, things would definetly go diferently. It would be an interesting turn of events for sure.
@@Ditidos Imagine how major authoritarian governments would react to an organization with far more then them with technology beyond ordinary comprehension.
@@thorshammer7883 I mean, technically in the Foundation universe, the ONU does know about the anomalous stuff and uses it to an extent. After all, the GOC is part of the ONU. So, goverments are quite aware of the anomalous. It's more of a surprise to the general public and the reaction, I'm sure that a broken masquerade will make both the anomalous religions, the Serpent's Hand and the Mana Charitable Foundation will become much more powerfull. That said, Marshall Carter & Dark could react in diferent manners and those are one of the people I would be more interesting to know, after all, they are a monopoly far more powerfull than most nations on Earth combined.
I like how all the "scientists" though that Wagner's theory of moving continents was just too imsane but hermaphrodite 4 armed giants on a lost continent made more sense.
You compared two things that aren't comparable. You compared a new and frankly wild theory that at the time was unsubstantiated against another theory that whilst unsubstantiated was of a much lesser scope so it's easier to accept on Occam's razor, but you seem to have conflated it with what nutjobs started to say about this theory. That's like saying "wow, geologists study the properties of crystals? Do they really support crystal healing and magic wands using crystals? What a bunch of mororns"
I think there is evidence coming out proposing that the North Poll is potential a continent below the Ice sheets. What's crazier is as it melts they are finding elongated heads with more volume than human heads.
It's easy to forget just how recent plate tectonics was accepted, I (as of commenting 27 years old) back in university (yes for geology) had a professor who had to relearn everything when he entered university because, yes he was at that age when plate tectonics became the accepted norm. (he was in his mid 70s when we spoke of this)
So you are telling me that these Lemur fossils traveled thousands of miles from their origin point? I guess you can say these Lemurs liked to Move it Move it
Considering continental drift wasn't even fully accepted until over a 100 years later, not surprising science thought this was the most plausible explanation. Although I have to admit it was fun hearing about Lemuria again. I think the first (and last) time I heard about it was some crappy audio cassette "documentary" about Atlantis from the late 80s I had convinced my parents to buy me in some local bookstore. The interview with a psychic who claimed Atlantis would rise from the ocean in the mid-90s was a highlight lol
As a Californian, I know my state will eventually subduct completely under the North American plate. What drives me crazy is when people refer to that as California sinking under the ocean. We aren't. We're climbing under the land like a blanket and building a crazy mountain range in the process.
I have an astronomy book from the late Forties, I think, which has a chapter about Earth - The author thinks Continental Drift is something like "The worst kind of fanciful poppycock", and if I remember correctly, thinks mountains and earthquakes come from the Earth slowly cooling, and it's 'skin' wrinkling like that of a cooked apple.
Ah yes, Lemuria. A name I've heard cropping up in all sorts of fiction. Honestly, the closest thing we have to an actual Lemuria is the Kerguelen Plateau, the only land of which is the Kerguelen Archipelago, otherwise known as the Desolation Islands, along with the Heard and McDonald Islands. Speaking of which, the plateau itself would probably be an adequate venue for moderated land reclamation, since it's a big plateau of shallows in the middle of an otherwise deep ocean.
@@SportyMabamba Assuming that France and Australia are cool with that. Since France owns the Kerguelen Islands and Australia owns Heard and McDonald. So if anyone's gonna build up the Plateau, it's gonna have to be a collaboration between those two. As for desalination, I was gonna suggest mangroves, but I dunno if actual mangroves can survive at that latitude. So maybe synthetic mangroves. Also, artificial mountains would be a wise project to invest in when engineering a microcontinent, since hills and mountains cause warm air to rise, cool, and shed their moisture, which leads to the formation of river drainage basins.
@@GmodPlusWoW mangroves are exclusively tropical plants, they don’t grow further north than florida at least in the americas. kerguelen, while it’s in the south, has a climate equivalent to that of iceland. only shrubs, herbs, and grasses growcthere, and there’s feral herds of reindeer that were established on the biggest island, to feed shipwrecked sailors should they get stuck there. besides, the soil is not only frozen for part of the year but its also too rocky.
There was also legends sunken city of South-Western Baltic called Vineta.... but it spawned because there was a proserous city (Wolin) just gradually declined but written down with a different name (Vineta), so people were not connetcing ancient (than prosperious) Wolin to the city of Vineta that was written about, so for sure that means it was separate city in the area that got sunken.
Definitely making my next D&D character someone who is "from Lemuria" going on and on about all it's technology advancements (but really there from Australia haha)
Gary Gygax's _"Epic of Ærth"_ fantasy setting for his Dangerous Journeys roleplaying game included a number of fantastical and mythical lands, notably Atlantis… which got its ass kicked by the Spanish Empire. *EDIT:* Just checked the maps. For _some_ reason Gygax put Lemuria in the Pacific ("Titanic") Ocean instead of the Indian ("Hindic") Ocean; west of South America ("Amazonia") and southeast of Hawaii.
lemurs sailing is actually not that far off of a probability, especially with the location of the lemurs (excluding the fossils). With the monsoon winds and the overall ocean patterns of the Indian Ocean, Lemurs have the possibility to get stranded in a drifting piece of material and basically "sail" their way across the ocean as they're light and flexible enough to have a high probability to accidentally embark on this voyage. Although the lemurs need a floating raft that supplies them with food full of liquid juice, they can still have the slight possibility to travel that distance, albeit would be an extremely rare occurance. This phenomenon has been agreed upon by multiple different scientists, as they believed that this was one of the few possible reasons as to why the Galapagos have a diversified land animal population.
Hang on, they may be on to something with Lemuria. It could explain where Malaysian Airlines flight 370 went! I think I've just written a History channel series.
it's a great story though. One of my favorite kid's shows from the 80s based it's entire mythology on the idea that Mu aka Lemuria (renamed Hiva in the English dub) and Atlantis existed side by side. And the reason they both sank into the sea is that they nuked each other. Pretty cool sequence telling the story here ua-cam.com/video/zQ0CfGnQmNI/v-deo.html
Conspiracy theorists: "There is a sunken land mass under the sea that is home to a lost civilization." Doggerland: "Oh boy, they're finally talking about me!"🤩 Conspiracy theorists: "What? Who are you? We're talking about Atlantis." Doggerland:😭
The idea of a continent sinking into the ocean is about as absurd as a plateau sinking into the ground. Continents don't float. They are literally a part of the Earth that is simply tall enough to stick out above water.

The neatest part is, once sonar allowed us to map the ocean floor, we might not have found "Atlantis" or "Lemuria" but we've still been able to find submerged micro-continents and fragments. Such as Zealandia and Doggerland.

This was before geologists realized that continents moving was more plausible than continents vanishing, obviously.
Most school kids notice quite quickly how the continents roughly align. Why did it take until the 1920s for it to gain scientific credence?
@@lawjef This might surprise you, but just because a schoolkid notices something doesn't mean it's necessarily true. _Some_ of the continents (mostly just South America and Africa TBH) looking like they fit together doesn't mean much without some idea of how they might have been forced apart and evidence that can most easily be explained by moving continents.
Which, on the face of it, is a pretty ridiculous concept! Continents are big, and (appear to be) rooted to the Earth itself. But by the same token, a vanishing continent is also pretty silly.
@@lawjef Hindsight bis always 2020 m8. Remember Rolls theorem's actual meaning is literally childish and yet it takes upto highschool calculus to actually write it down.
@@lawjef Ironically, Science isn't as clear-cut as it seems. Today we look at history and we go "Of course it's this! How stupid must our ancestor's be to think otherwise!" but it's not that simple. The Scientific Community is filled with people who have biases towards certain theories. Anyone can sound like their knowledgeable. So it really becomes a game of politics when one theory gains popularity. The only way to prove or disprove a theory is to either empirically show someone, or prove it through equations.
This is what happened during the Galileo affair. Galileo's arrest and heresy wasn't because the Church tried to stamp out reason. It was because Galileo couldn't prove the parallax shift. Neither his models nor his equations were convincing because Aristotle had already refuted his explanation millennia ago. His Heresy, was that he questioned the authenticity of the scriptures. Of course, Galileo was somewhat correct, however it would take until Newton to fully prove Heliocentrism.
There's the Caloric theory which was believed to be the explanation of heat up until he mid-19th. Which, get this, heat was from a weightless fluid. This got disproven by our development in understanding thermodynamics.
We often take for granted the technology and math that we have. Science is just another game of politics of people trying to refute each other while claiming their smarter.

Don't tell King Julien (Madagascar) that people thought there was a continent called Lemuria. He will conquer it! \(0v0)/
Too bad the theory died off after scientists found out continents like to move it move it
Did you know that Atlantis is probably based off an actual island. In the bronze age, what we now know as Santorini (Thera) had a much bigger volcano in the middle. This volcano was an island surrounded by a ring of water and on that island there was a city (we know this because of ancient paintings in the area). Then, at around 1800-1700 BC, there was a huge eruption that caused this island to sink. The eruption may have also caused the downfall of the Minoans on Crete, leaving Linear A as a long extinct writing system. Plato's inspiration probably came from this island.

Is this where Zaboomafoo came from? Is that why he could talk? He had mystical powers?

Actually Wegener didn't come up with the tectonic plates theory, he did come up with the Theory of Continental drift, but he couldn't explain which forces caused the continents to drift so most other scientists didn't belive him at the time. Only after his death was he proven right when the tectonic plates and forces were discovered.

How odd. Few hours before you released this video my wife was talking about muskrats. Which led to lemmings, then lemurs, and finally to lemuria. Didnt even know about this continent til today and then you cover it.
4:37 god damn I didn't know this was a crossover from the Ancient Aliens vid too!
Ideas:
- What if life evolved on the moon instead of Earth?
- What if Britain or France joined the Axis in WW2?
Turtledove has already covered the second - those governments get couped in a few months and promptly rejoin the allies. ;)
What about Old Zealand because there an actual scientifically theorized for about 20 years now sighting its huge heights and tectonic plates leaning towards its prior existence
are you joking or talking about bigger NZ landmass?
It wouldn’t be called Old Zealand though, New Zealand was named after a place in the Netherlands. Hence why the Dutch originally called Australia “New Holland” too, after another Dutch region.
Old Zealand actually exist, I've been there. It's in the Netherlands which founded New Zealand.
was Madagascar India and Australia but india broke from Australia and Madagascar and started drifting upward until it crashed into Asia forming the himalayas and to this day India is still slowly moving upward into Asia making the Himalayas taller
I think you're thinking of Zealandia, which is a large piece of continental crust that is now mostly submerged
I got a "What If" suggestion.
What if the SCP Foundation was real and a Broken Masquerade scenario appears where the entire world finds out that anamolies are real and that multiple global secretive organizations are real?
Considering the SCP Foundation has anomalies capables of rewriting the past and stuff like that, nobody would even notice. Things would get back to normal after some time.
@@Ditidos
Just saying the Broken Masquerade scenario is interesting to imagine in real life had the Foundation been unable to keep it secret.
@@thorshammer7883 Ah well, yes it would be. Although I'm certain they (and the majority of GoI) will try to maintain everything hidden the longest time possible, so there might be knowledge of a few anomalies and not of the anomalous in general.
If, for some reason, everything leaks, things would definetly go diferently. It would be an interesting turn of events for sure.
@@Ditidos
Imagine how major authoritarian governments would react to an organization with far more then them with technology beyond ordinary comprehension.
@@thorshammer7883 I mean, technically in the Foundation universe, the ONU does know about the anomalous stuff and uses it to an extent. After all, the GOC is part of the ONU. So, goverments are quite aware of the anomalous. It's more of a surprise to the general public and the reaction, I'm sure that a broken masquerade will make both the anomalous religions, the Serpent's Hand and the Mana Charitable Foundation will become much more powerfull. That said, Marshall Carter & Dark could react in diferent manners and those are one of the people I would be more interesting to know, after all, they are a monopoly far more powerfull than most nations on Earth combined.
I like how all the "scientists" though that Wagner's theory of moving continents was just too imsane but hermaphrodite 4 armed giants on a lost continent made more sense.
The 4 armed giants wasn't apart of the theory. On the other hand we do know of things like Beringia so it's not that crazy
You compared two things that aren't comparable.
You compared a new and frankly wild theory that at the time was unsubstantiated against another theory that whilst unsubstantiated was of a much lesser scope so it's easier to accept on Occam's razor, but you seem to have conflated it with what nutjobs started to say about this theory. That's like saying "wow, geologists study the properties of crystals? Do they really support crystal healing and magic wands using crystals? What a bunch of mororns"
While I don’t believe in Lemuria, Zaboomafooland is most definitely real
3:50 Cody: I'm not pronouncing that
Also Cody: Literally pronounces the name couple seconds later but with -kaya turned into -ky
I don't think Atlantis was ever thought to be an actual full real continent.
I think most “lost islands and continents” are merely misidentified already existing landmasses.
I think there is evidence coming out proposing that the North Poll is potential a continent below the Ice sheets. What's crazier is as it melts they are finding elongated heads with more volume than human heads.
Please research the younger dryas period.
I now demand an alternate history video about a Lemur Nation with its own Lemur Navy
so much for King Julien becoming the Supreme Emperor of Lemuria
It's easy to forget just how recent plate tectonics was accepted, I (as of commenting 27 years old) back in university (yes for geology) had a professor who had to relearn everything when he entered university because, yes he was at that age when plate tectonics became the accepted norm. (he was in his mid 70s when we spoke of this)
So you are telling me that these Lemur fossils traveled thousands of miles from their origin point?
I guess you can say these Lemurs liked to Move it Move it
Considering continental drift wasn't even fully accepted until over a 100 years later, not surprising science thought this was the most plausible explanation. Although I have to admit it was fun hearing about Lemuria again. I think the first (and last) time I heard about it was some crappy audio cassette "documentary" about Atlantis from the late 80s I had convinced my parents to buy me in some local bookstore. The interview with a psychic who claimed Atlantis would rise from the ocean in the mid-90s was a highlight lol
I thought the title said”The Time Science lost a Continent”, which would have been equally entertaining.
thats gotta be one of the best Segways to a sponsor ever at the end, hope they appreciate that!!
So,can we expect a "What If Lemuria existed?" video next?
As a Californian, I know my state will eventually subduct completely under the North American plate. What drives me crazy is when people refer to that as California sinking under the ocean. We aren't. We're climbing under the land like a blanket and building a crazy mountain range in the process.
So, I knew Lemuria was a “lost continent.” I never drew the connection between Lemuria and lemurs...
Thank you Cody. Thank you.

Posted this a day before Final Jeopardy was a question about Lemuria
I have an astronomy book from the late Forties, I think, which has a chapter about Earth - The author thinks Continental Drift is something like "The worst kind of fanciful poppycock", and if I remember correctly, thinks mountains and earthquakes come from the Earth slowly cooling, and it's 'skin' wrinkling like that of a cooked apple.
Ah yes, Lemuria. A name I've heard cropping up in all sorts of fiction.
Honestly, the closest thing we have to an actual Lemuria is the Kerguelen Plateau, the only land of which is the Kerguelen Archipelago, otherwise known as the Desolation Islands, along with the Heard and McDonald Islands.
Speaking of which, the plateau itself would probably be an adequate venue for moderated land reclamation, since it's a big plateau of shallows in the middle of an otherwise deep ocean.
Gotta work out how to desalinate the reclaimed land if you do that. Could still be suitable for industry or freight use tho. Giant freeport, perhaps?
@@SportyMabamba Assuming that France and Australia are cool with that. Since France owns the Kerguelen Islands and Australia owns Heard and McDonald. So if anyone's gonna build up the Plateau, it's gonna have to be a collaboration between those two.
As for desalination, I was gonna suggest mangroves, but I dunno if actual mangroves can survive at that latitude. So maybe synthetic mangroves.
Also, artificial mountains would be a wise project to invest in when engineering a microcontinent, since hills and mountains cause warm air to rise, cool, and shed their moisture, which leads to the formation of river drainage basins.
@@GmodPlusWoW mangroves are exclusively tropical plants, they don’t grow further north than florida at least in the americas. kerguelen, while it’s in the south, has a climate equivalent to that of iceland. only shrubs, herbs, and grasses growcthere, and there’s feral herds of reindeer that were established on the biggest island, to feed shipwrecked sailors should they get stuck there. besides, the soil is not only frozen for part of the year but its also too rocky.
5:46 ...nitch? NITCH?! the heck is "nitch"?!
other than that... great vid as always.
There was also Mu, Thule, Hyperborea, Terra Austalis, the list goes on actually. Long history of people thinking of lost lands.
Also Finland. So much bullshit these days
There was also legends sunken city of South-Western Baltic called Vineta.... but it spawned because there was a proserous city (Wolin) just gradually declined but written down with a different name (Vineta), so people were not connetcing ancient (than prosperious) Wolin to the city of Vineta that was written about, so for sure that means it was separate city in the area that got sunken.
I'm loving these short videos with smoothe jazz, Mr. New Texan

Hey Cody! Long time no see. Glad for a new upload brother.
Gary Gygax's _"Epic of Ærth"_ fantasy setting for his Dangerous Journeys roleplaying game included a number of fantastical and mythical lands, notably Atlantis… which got its ass kicked by the Spanish Empire.
*EDIT:* Just checked the maps. For _some_ reason Gygax put Lemuria in the Pacific ("Titanic") Ocean instead of the Indian ("Hindic") Ocean; west of South America ("Amazonia") and southeast of Hawaii.
lemurs sailing is actually not that far off of a probability, especially with the location of the lemurs (excluding the fossils).
With the monsoon winds and the overall ocean patterns of the Indian Ocean, Lemurs have the possibility to get stranded in a drifting piece of material and basically "sail" their way across the ocean as they're light and flexible enough to have a high probability to accidentally embark on this voyage. Although the lemurs need a floating raft that supplies them with food full of liquid juice, they can still have the slight possibility to travel that distance, albeit would be an extremely rare occurance.
This phenomenon has been agreed upon by multiple different scientists, as they believed that this was one of the few possible reasons as to why the Galapagos have a diversified land animal population.
Lemurians reminded me of Martians in A Stranger in a Strange Land

Dude you literally just did it.
Hang on, they may be on to something with Lemuria. It could explain where Malaysian Airlines flight 370 went! I think I've just written a History channel series.
I was taught about land bridges in the early 90s. I also remember textbooks with USSR in them. I guess Norfolk took a few years to catch up
it's a great story though. One of my favorite kid's shows from the 80s based it's entire mythology on the idea that Mu aka Lemuria (renamed Hiva in the English dub) and Atlantis existed side by side. And the reason they both sank into the sea is that they nuked each other. Pretty cool sequence telling the story here ua-cam.com/video/zQ0CfGnQmNI/v-deo.html
*its entire mythology
That's a good story, though.
It was also the premise of an italian comic,"Martin Mystere"
Final Jeopardy today (Tuesday) was about Lemuria and I have a strong feeling that it's not a coincidence!
Conspiracy theorists: "There is a sunken land mass under the sea that is home to a lost civilization."
Doggerland: "Oh boy, they're finally talking about me!"🤩
Conspiracy theorists: "What? Who are you? We're talking about Atlantis."
Doggerland:😭
Doggerland is the best lost landmasss
nah Zelandia is
The idea of a continent sinking into the ocean is about as absurd as a plateau sinking into the ground. Continents don't float. They are literally a part of the Earth that is simply tall enough to stick out above water.
