About this episode

For thousands of years, the world has been captivated by the mystery of Atlantis. The concept of an ancient city hidden beneath the ocean is fascinating.

But what if there was not just a city, but an entire continent buried beneath the waves?

The continent of Lemuria is a massive landmass believed to have sunk in the Indian Ocean after some ancient, catastrophic event.

Atlantis and Lemuria are similar in that they’ve sparked numerous theories, legends and interpretations.

But Atlantis and Lemuria are very different in one way. There’s no proof of Atlantis.
