Lemi-Lemu (pg. 120)

Lemi-Lemu has vast supplies of copper, as well as deposits of tin, silver, lead, gold, zinc, nitrates, sulfur, salt, garnets, and emeralds. The folk here cultivate cassava, coconuts, pineapple, bananas, breadfruit, potatoes, tomatoes, sugarcane, and sapodilla. They raise guanaco (a primitive form of llama) and tapirs for food, leather and wool; and also gather seafood along the coasts.

In the wilds of the hilly regions and swamps between this nation and Mu are found many creatures, including megasloths, hippoceri (toxodonti), toradillos, tapirephants, peccaries, emu, condors, parrots, boas, crocodiles, and caimans. The eastern and southern terrain of Lem-Lemu consists of coastal mangrove swamps and tropical rainforests featuring palms, ferns, orchids, geraniums, tree ferns, lobeliads, epiphytes, and sandalwood. To the west, the terrain becomes more akin to the pampas of Amazonia, and vegetation consists mostly of various grasses and scattered acacia. The Ahi-Pohaku Mountains form the northern and western border of this realm.

Slavery is common here, but nowhere near to that found in Mu. The bulk of the population is serfs, followed by a middle class of fishermen, merchants and artisans.

The main road of the dual kingdom of Lemi-Lemu is known as the Road of Bones. It runs east to west, and, it is flanked by the bones of more than 1,000,000 people, along it's length. In the east, there are the bones of infants, and, in the west, there are the bones of the elderly. Note that the Dual Kingdom of Lemi-Lemu is said to have a dual meaning: some interpret it as also meaning a kingdom of both the living and the dead.

Also of note is a mysterious cult of a death goddess, who is not part of the main Lemurian pantheon. To honor her, pyramids of skulls are built. It is said that all who speak or write her name die, so this circumspect author has omitted any mention of her name
