Could mysterious megaliths in the South Pacific be evidence of the fabled ancient land of Lemuria? Presenter Maurene Morgan says yes. Further, she argues that these curiously non-human looking sculptures could be remnants of ancient alien contact.

While sailing the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, Maurene saw extraordinary stone figures reminiscent of pre-Polynesian and matriarchal origins. According to Maurene, mainstream archeologists have largely ignored these artifacts. In her presentation, she uses these statues as a springboard to explore unexplained advanced technology, ancient megaliths, myths, ETs, and even DNA evidence that could point to the Lemurian legend.

Maurene was the state director for the Washington Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) from 2017 to 2023, and a member of MUFON's Experiencer Research Team. Maurene graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in communication studies. She has spent more than 20 years exploring the world, including crewing on a square-rigger during an Atlantic passage and sailing around the world aboard a 40-foot sailboat. From a small town in the Midwest, her travel experiences have given her a sense of how magical and mysterious our world truly is and how much more there is to explore.
