Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 – Lemuria

Kubura Port, Yonaguni Island, Japan, Summer 20xx, Alan Kiryu was busy filling his supply bag preparing to dive deep into the sea near the island, he found an ancient Sumerian Scripture from his father antique collection that said once there was a continent named Lemuria in the Pacific Ocean with its tail on Yonaguni Island and the other tail near Hawaiian Island. The Scripture said that the continent was engulfed in civil war between 5 different countries that have different political and religious belief. It is said that the Lemurian continent lasted 5000 years longer than their Atlantean Counterpart although their continent did not last when one of the countries begin to drop colossal bombs to their neighbour which then sucks all of the countries in the continent to an all-out war which eventually sink the continent.

A sunny day in the summer, the hot sun seems to be alive and moving due to the heat. Reading the somewhat obscure map in his hand while drinking orange juice, Alan saw the captain of the boat frowning at him. "Hey boy, I do not know how or when you get this strange old map but the thing drawn in here sure is interesting, England and Europe are still connected by land and Sicily in Italy is still connected to Africa though the name in the map is OZ? why African continent was named OZ in the first place? There is also another continent beneath India connecting to Madagascar called Kumari Kandam.

It is not strange old Jake, Alan replies to the old man confused expression, the scripture said that after the sinking of Atlantean and Lemurian continent, the worlds water level increase dramatically. Just imagine if you put a big toy in the bathtub and drown it., the water level in the bathtub will raise. Now imagine if there are two big continent that sink below the sea, one in the Atlantic ocean and the other in pacific ocean what kind of calamity would ensued?

Old Jake frowned hearing Alan explanation but as a man of the sea he knows what Alan wants to say. If a big continent sunk under the sea, A Giant Tsunami would wreak havoc all over the world. Many coastal cities will be swept along by the monstrous waves and low altitude landmass such as the one between England and Europe will be drowned entirely, a new world landscape will be born.

"It is interesting that the date in the scripture almost coincide in what the main religion story about Prophet Noah and the Great Flood" Said Alan Curiously.

Old Jake not knowing how to respond see the ship GPS and said with a firm expression, we have arrived. Alan know that he have arrived at the coordinate in the map, he does not know whether the coordinate is still accurate or the thing hidden in here have been swept away by nature over thousands of years.

But he knows one thing, whatever hidden beneath these coordinates have a great importance to the Map owner since there are no country names in the map, only Lemuria, Atlantis and Vedic Civilization with each one has a marker with coordinate attached to it. One in Rajasthan, India, One in the Pacific Ocean near Yonaguni Island and One in Atlantic Ocean near the Caribbean Island. Alan guess that these three represent the Great Ancient Civilization that earth once have and now have been buried deep under the passing of time and history.

Thanks to his father who is filthy rich and willing to splurge on his strange hobbies, Alan already found the one hidden in Rajasthan, India. He has to put on a Hazmat suit and bring many people to dig almost 300 feet underground while staying behind the government radar using archaeological study as a legal cover for his action. He was amazed that the radiation level deep underground is still so high after all these years, what kind of Nuclear meltdown that can cause such a devastating outcome and last for thousands of years. Inside the dig site he found an ancient ruin that looks like a pyramid, Alan knows that he has found what he was searching for when he sees the Crystal Tablet pulsing bright light in the inner pyramid pedestal.

Alan was putting on his diving suit while holding the crystal tablet in his hand, he knows that the crystal tablet are just one section of a whole and the other two parts are hidden beneath the coordinates in pacific and Atlantic ocean. He realizes that this search will be harder than the one in India since the ocean is so vast and the waves and sand could cover whatever hidden beneath the ocean, that is why he hire a professional diving team with over 30 people to help him search the area.

One month later….

Kazuki, what have you found? Kazuki is a local diver that he found in the island, Alan knows that Kazuki have found something when he sees him running towards Alan in the boat. Alan-sama we found a white pyramid hidden deep beneath the sand, we have recorded the coordinate of the place.

"Good Job, I will also join the dive myself. Alan hurriedly put on his diving suit and go to the recorded coordinate. The sea was deep and dark, Alan struggled to maintain the direction he was going to even with the help of a Diver Propulsion Vehicle in his arm, thankfully he is not alone, other Diver bring modern equipment and back up oxygen tank to prevent any accident.

Alan can see the white pyramid near a megalithic structure, it seems that this giant building used to be an ancient fortress back in the Lemurian age. Cain dive deeper and found a large hole enough for a human to enter inside.

"You all wait here, I will go alone" Alan used his hand signal to tell other Divers.

The pyramid inside was majestic, murals and engraving decorated the inside wall, he really cannot imagine how come ancient people could build something as sophisticated as this. In the scripture it is said that Lemurian magnetics technology is at its peak that it even surpasses the current modern technology in some aspect.

Deep inside the pyramid chamber, Alan feels nervous, the same like it was in India, in the pyramid there was no trap whatsoever and the way to the inner chamber was straightforward as if the one who build this place wish that whoever come here must go to the pedestal quickly and took the crystal tablet away. Having arrived at the inner chamber that shaped like a dome, Alan was overwhelmed by the massive murals engraving. From his limited knowledge it seems to tell the Lemurians history from the beginning to their downfall around 7500 years ago when the continent began to split apart and sank deep into the sea. Alan took his underwater video camera and recorded the whole dome; he may find a hidden piece of history that no one knows about. The pyramid in India also has murals and engraving but it has been partially destroyed by whatever nuclear explosion happened in that place a long time ago, from what Alan can deduce, the murals in India almost looks like a Mahabharata story but with more precise recollection telling a great civilization with advanced technology used to be here.

After taking the Crystal tablet nervously, Alan hurriedly tried to get out of the pyramid, since in the movies after the protagonist took the artifact, the building will suddenly collapse. Thankfully the expected collapse did not happen, the pyramid is still well intact even after Alan meet with the other Diver. He signals them to end the expedition and head back to the ship.

Taking out his diving suit Alan sat down exhaustedly while flushing his face with mineral water.

"After I found all the Crystal tablet maybe I will inform the world about my finding but right now I better stay silent and not let anyone found out. Holding his Underwater Video Camera tightly Alan sleeps while the boat rush back to Kubura Port, Yonaguni Island.
