 The legends of many island and other peoples in the Indian and Pacific Oceans refer to a land wracked by volcanic activity that sank into the oceans which has been linked to Lemuria, typically described as the origin of their cultures, and a place which achieved great heights of spiritual enlightenment and advancement before being swallowed by fire and cast beneath the waves.
-'''Mu''':  See [[Mu]], a place claimed to have been the origin of several seemingly disparate ancient civilizations, such as those of Egypt, India, Meso-America, and Wales, said to have been described in mystical [[Naacal Tablets]] describing their ancestor culture as that of "The Exalted", the Naacal, or [[Serpent People|Nagas]].

 '''Kumari Kandam''':  a legendary sunken landmass said to be located south of India and mentioned in the Tamil literature, claiming that it was the cradle of civilization. The modern version of the claim originated in 1885, when an Indian Civil Service officer, Charles D. Maclean (later often wrongly referred to him as a "scientist" and a "Doctor" by Tamil writers claiming him as an authoritative source) published ''The Manual of the Administration of the Madras Presidency'', in which he theorized Lemuria as the progenitors of ancient Indian civilization; in a footnote in this work, he mentioned Ernst Haeckel's Asia hypothesis, which theorized that the humans originated in a land now submerged in the Indian Ocean. Maclean expanded that theory, concluding that this submerged land was home to the progenitor culture of all the races must have migrated from Lemuria to other places via South India, spreading language and culture and civilization across the world as they migrated. This theory was also cursorily discussed by other colonial officials like Edgar Thurston and Herbert Hope Risley, including in the census reports of 1891 and 1901.  The native Tamil intellectuals took up local discussion of the concept of a submerged Tamil homeland in the late 1890s, and in 1898, J. Nallasami Pillai published an article in the philosophical-literary journal ''Siddhanta Deepika'' (aka "The Truth of Light") about the theory of a lost continent in the Indian Ocean (i.e. Lemuria), mentioning that the Tamil legends speak of floods which destroyed the literary works produced by the ancient's schools of culture, though he added that this theory had "no serious historical or scientific footing".  Nevertheless, the theory would gain traction with Tamil intellectuals, even after the theory of Lemuria was discredited by the newer Plate Tectonic theory, especially among Tamil nationalist movements, who elaborated on the theory to describe Kumari Kandam as a primordial utopian paradise that had reached a zenith of cultural, spiritual, and technological achievement, whose ideals and accomplishments were lost upon destruction of the continent, and corrupted and hidden by other, "lesser" human races in the chaos that followed.  In recent years, the continent has been linked by pop culture with ancient alien and ancient astronaut conspiracy theories.

-'''Rutas''': The Rig Veda speaks of an immense continent far to the east of India called Rutas.  It was said to be home to a race called the Danavas, "dwarfen" sun-worshipers who had descended or traveled to the earth from "[[Other Side|heavenly water]]" (perhaps corresponding to the [[Serpent People|Nagas]] or to the [[Deep One]]s), who have acted in both good and evil roles in guiding the development of the humans around them. Rutas was torn asunder by a volcanic upheaval and sent to the ocean depths, but fragments remained as Indonesia and the Pacific islands; a few human survivors reached India, where, according to some local legends, they would become the elite Brahman caste.

 '''Bolutu''': Samoans speak of a place called Bolutu. It was stocked with trees and plants bearing fruits and flowers, which were immediately replaced when picked. On Bolutu men could walk through trees, houses, and other physical objects without any resistance.

 '''Hiva''': The islands within the Ring of Fire have ancient monuments, petroglyphs, and caves that hold clues to one of many ancient civilizations that once existed there – the most famous Easter Island. The legends of Easter Island speak of 'Hiva', which sank beneath the waves as people fled.
