Mu

"In our journey westward across the Atlantic we shall pass in sight of that spot where once existed the pride and life of the ocean, the Land of Mu, which, at the epoch that we have been considering, had not yet been visited by the wrath of Homen, that lord of volcanic fires to whose fury it afterward fell a victim. The description of that land given to Solon by Sonchis, priest at Sais; its destruction by earthquakes, and submergence, recorded by Plato in his Timaeus, have been told and retold so many times that it is useless to encumber these pages with a repetition of it".
--Augustus Le Plongeon


Le Plongeon, a 19th scientist, believed he'd stumbled upon a record of a lost continent from which the Maya traveled from. Egypt was supposedly settled by other survivors from the "recorded" catastrophe. Disappointingly, the "discovery" was all based on faulty translation, and Mu, Lemuria, and Atlantis continue to exist only in the realm of fantasy (and Photoshop).
