I Remember Lemuria
and
The Return of Sathanas
by Richard S. Shaver
Evanston III.: Venture Books
1948
FOREWORD
Perhaps my parents never realized the puns that would be made on my name when they christened
me Richard Sharpe Shaver. Under ordinary circumstances the puns would have been of little
consequence, but because of the amazing fact of my amazing memory of the life of another person,
long dead, it has been incredibly hard for me to speak convincingly and to make people believe in
me.
Invariably I get that oh-so-funny remark, ”Sharp-shaver, eh? A regular cut-up, eh, kid!”
accompanied by a sly dig in the ribs and a very stupid, ”Get it?” How can a man get serious
audience after that?
And yet, there it is for all who wish – to pun and pun again. If I achieve nothing else at least you
may laugh, and to laugh is to be physically and mentally healthy. For those of you who will read on
and carefully weigh what I am about to tell you I am convinced there will be no thought of puns.
Instead, when you consider the real truths behind what I say – and even better, experiment and
study to corroborate them – it seems to me to be inevitable that you will forget that I am Richard
Sharpe Shaver, and instead, am what science chooses to very vaguely define as the racial memory
receptacle of a man (or should I say a being?) named Mutan Mion, who lived many thousands of
years ago in Sub Atlan, one of the great cities of ancient Lemuria!
I myself cannot explain it. I know only that I remember Lemuria! Remember it with a faithfulness
that I accept with the absolute conviction of a fanatic. And yet, I am not fanatic; I am a simple man,
a worker in metal, employed in a steel mill in Pennsylvania. I am as normal as any of you who read
this and gifted with much less imagination than most of you!
What I tell you is not fiction! How can I impress that on you as forcibly as I feel it must be
impressed? But then, what good to impress it upon those who will crack wise about me being a
”sharp-shaver”? I can only hope that when I have told the story of Mutan Mion as I remember it
you will believe – not because I sound convincing or tell my story in a convincing manner, but
because you will see the truth in what I say, and will realize, as you must, that many of the things I
tell you are not a matter of present day scientific knowledge and yet are true!
I fervently hope that such great minds as Einstein, Carrel, and the late Crile check the things that I
remember. I am no mathematician; I am no scientist. I have studied all the scientific books I can get
– only to become more and more convinced that I remember true things. But surely someone can
definitely say that I am wrong or that I am right, especially in such things as the true nature of
gravity, or matter, of light, of the cause of age and many other things that the memory of Mutan
Mion has expressed to me so definitely as to be conviction itself.
I intend to put down these things, and I invite – challenge! - any of you to work on them; to prove
or disprove, as you like. Whatever your goal, I do not care. I care only that you believe me or
disbelieve me with enough fervor to do some real work on those things I will propound. The final
result may well stagger the science of the world.
I want to thank editor Ray Palmer, in whose ”fiction” magazine, Amazing Stories, the stories in this
book were first published, for his open mind and for the way he has received the things I have told
him in addition to what I have written in this story of Mutan Mion of ancient Lemuria. It began
when he published my ancient alphabet in ”Discussions” * and requested the readers to carry out
checks of their own. I myself did not realize the extent of the alphabetic (more properly phonetic)
language. But surely there must be tremendous significance in the fact that the alphabet fits into
every language to which it has been applied, to the amazing percentage of 75% in the German to
94% in the ancient Egyptian! Even in Chinese and Japanese it ranked consistent nine out of ten
times.
To me it is tragic that the only way I can tell my story is in the guise of fiction. And yet, I am
thankful for the opportunity to do even this; and to editor Ray Palmer I express my unbounded
gratitude. I know that if even a few of you go to the lengths he has gone to check many of the things
I remember, a beginning will have been made to something, the ending of which (if ending there is)
awes me beyond my poor power to express my feelings.
- Richard S. Shaver.
* January, 1945 issue of AMAZING STORIES. Some of the reports by readers were subsequently published, but the
great majority were not. These reports proved to be the most amazing the editor has ever received on anything
published in his magazine. They would seem to indicate beyond all doubt that the ”ancient language” of Mr. Shaver is
part of an original ”mother tongue” from which all Earthly language, have sprung. For example, the name Mutan Mion,
broken down into the letters and sounds of this ancient language becomes MU - ”man”; T - ”integration,” ”growth”; AN
- ”animal.” MION means ”manchild seed.” So the name means ”man spore culture to new forms by integration growth
forces.” In other words, a synthetic mutation by the use of force or rays. - Ed.
