Rudolf Steiner: Adam Kadmon in Early Lemuria], pastel (1923)
Rudolf Steiner: Lemuria, pastel on paper (1914)

The Lemurian period, also called the third root race[1] according to obsolete theosophical tradition, is the third of the seven main ages into which the present physical state of form of the Earth is divided[2]. It followed the Hyperborean period in which the Earth and the Sun separated from each other. According to a statement by Rudolf Steiner, which is, however, only poorly documented, the Lemurian period corresponds approximately on the geologic time scale to the Mesozoic era (Lit.:GA 300a, p. 107), which according to the results of external research began about 252.2 million years ago and ended about 66 million years ago. In fact, the earliest Lemurian may already have begun with the start of the Proterozoic, about 2,500 million years ago[3]. After the Lemurian period, the Atlantic era began.
