Atlantis and Lemuria Legends

[David Morris]

I recently encountered a modern-day theory about the very ancient (maybe
pre-human) civilizations (very separate from each other) of Lemuria and
Atlantis.  Atlantis, according to this theory embodied a hyper-male
(technological) energy.  Lemuria was (somehow?) embodying a feminine
energy.  For whatever reasons, for met cataclysmic ends.

I know these are very "New Age" myths, but does anyone here know about the
origins of these myths?  Are they recent in origin, or are there older
roots to these legends?
