Stone’s connection with New Zealand’s Waitahanui and the appearance of “mu”
in its name define the Pounamu as a religious relic from Lemurian times.

The name of an archaeological find in northeastern Louisiana, the oldest city in
North America, dated to circa 1500 B.C. Poverty Point was a concentric arrange-
ment of alternating rings and canals interconnected by causeways radiating out-
ward from a central precinct and fronted by a large earthwork built to resemble a
volcano. The site is fundamentally a mirror-image of Plato’s description of Atlantis,
an identification reaffirmed by sudden cultural florescence at Poverty Point in
1200 B.C., just when Atlantis was finally destroyed, and some of its survivors sought
refuge in what is now America.Powako
The Delaware Indian flood hero who led their ancestors out of a natural
disaster that sank “the first land, beyond the great ocean.” The oldest branch of
the Algonquian family, the Leni-Lenapi, displayed white racial characteristics so
pronounced that some early settlers considered them members of the fabulous
“Lost Tribes” of Israel. The Delaware, in fact, called themselves the Leno-Lenape,
or the “Unmixed Men,” as some distinction for their descent from white-skinned
flood survivors led by Powako.Prachetasas
“Sea-kings” whose kingdom plunged to the bottom of the ocean. Hindu myth
tells of 10 Prachetasas, the same number of kings, according to Plato, who ruled
the Atlantis Empire.Pramzimas
The Lithuanian Zeus, who, fed up with the iniquities of mankind, dispatched
a pair of giants, Wandu (wind) and Wejas (water) to destroy the world. Pramzimas
halted the deluge just in time to save the last few people huddling together on
several mountain peaks, the only dry land left on Earth. He dropped them a few
cracked nut shells, which served as vessels for the survivors, who floated away
under a rainbow that Pramzimas put in the sky, indicating the deluge was finished.
After the waters abated and the remaining humans scampered out of their
improvised arks, he instructed them to leap “over the bones of the Earth” (stones)
nine times. Having performed as they were commanded, nine additional couples
