OpenAI's Answer

In 1899, Frederick Spencer Oliver published a book titled "A Dweller on Two Planets". In this book, he made several claims about the Lemurians, which have since become a significant part of the legend surrounding Mount Shasta, California:

  1. Lemurian Survivors: Oliver claimed that survivors from the sunken continent of Lemuria resided in the area around Mount Shasta.

  2. Advanced Civilization: The Lemurians were described as an advanced civilization with significant spiritual and technological advancements.

  3. Spiritual Messages: The book itself was claimed to be 'channeled' to Oliver by an entity named Phylos the Tibetan, who shared spiritual messages and stories of past lives, including life in Lemuria.

  4. Mount Shasta as a Refuge: According to Oliver, Mount Shasta served as a refuge for these ancient people, who lived in elaborate underground cities beneath the mountain.

These claims by Oliver have contributed to the mystique and various New Age beliefs about Mount Shasta and Lemuria.
