Lemurs in Nepal by 3sh

International Viewers: Beware of Spoilers

 

 


In Episode 15, August talked about Lemurs in Nepal.

 

Ruby: What was your favorite place?

August: Nepal. Best people. They have these prayer temples carved into mountains that are overrun with lemurs.

Ruby: What’s a lemur?

August: They’re little animals. And they have these eyes that reflect light, so at night it looks like they glow.


I am thinking that maybe when August said Lemurs he could he be talking about the lost continent of Lemuria (much like Atlantis). Lemuria or "Mu" "is the name of a mythical continent purported to have been in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.


The lost continent derives its name from the primate lemur belonging to the group prosimians. Lemurs now inhabit Madagascar island, the surrounding smaller islands and Comoros island." There are some Lemuria researches who believe that there are secret libraries in many temples in India, Nepal and Tibet that have documents referencing the existence of Lemuria.


I also read some articles claiming that the concept and the name "Lemuria" or "Mu", was supposedly proposed by 19th century traveler and writer Augustus Le Plongeon, who claimed that several ancient civilizations, such as those of Egypt and Mesoamerica, were created by refugees from Mu.


Nice coincidence that the person is named Augustus and is also a writer much like August W. Booth. Anyway, some Lemuria researchers also call this lost continent "Mu" or "Zu" and some actually suggested "Oz". Is Oz the lost continent of Lemuria?

Some have also suggested August could be Peter Pan grown up. Which I obviously would not complain of if you understand my nickname ;D lol But Neverland is an island...perhaps it's lemuria/atlantis? I think he's Rumpels son Baelfire but I always felt that Baelfire might have become Peter Pan...possibly..because Rumpel said how he has a history with the nuns (the faeries in FTL). Great thoughts!

Thanks for your comments TheWendybird! I posted another theory about August being Peter Pan (The title of the artile is "Is Peter Pan in Storybrooke?). What I did not include in that post is how I dissected his name ... My thoughts were:
August - also an adjective meaning "marked by majestic dignity or grandeur". In a few episodes August was wearing a purple scarf/bandana. Purple is the color of royalty. There were references to Peter Pan being the King of Neverland so that is royalty for you.
W (Wayne) - might be in reference/tribute to Wendy :)
Booth - could mean temporary shelter [for livestock or field workers] - which is what this world is to him. If he is Peter Pan, Neverland is his real home.

I think you're overthinking that whole thing WAY too much. Have you ever seen Avatar: The Last Airbender? Abandoned temples carved into mountains...overrun with lemurs...hey, maybe there used to be airbending monks there before they were driven out by power crazy firebenders!
I'm pretty sure that they were just referencing that show, nothing more.Who knows; maybe August is Aang! (I seriously doubt that, of course, but it would be SO funny!)

I know! I keep telling myself the same thing :) I should quit doing that! Thanks for the feedback :)

Here's an interesting note. Lemurs are only located in Madagascar. So why would he lie about lemurs in Nepal?

Mu/Lemeria is a fictional place created in the early 20th century by a man named Churchwood. There was a previous reference to "Lemuria" which was postulated to explain some prosimian species of primates. Please remember that plate techtonics only dates from the 1970s.
