Lost Continents

Lost continents are hypothetical landmasses believed to have existed in Earth's distant past but are now submerged beneath the oceans or have disappeared due to geological processes. Examples include Atlantis, a legendary island described by ancient writers, and others like Lemuria and Mu, proposed in 19th-century theories. While some stories blend myth and speculation, modern science recognizes that Earth's continents have shifted over millions of years through tectonic activity, leading to the current configuration. The idea of lost continents often captures our imagination, but concrete scientific evidence for many of these landmasses remains lacking.
