The Lost City of Kalimu

Close to Los Angeles in the Santa Monica Mountains, between Malibu and Thousand Oaks lies

what I call the 'Land of the Lost'. Venturing through treacherous Decker Canyon Road to Sycamore Canyon Road you will discover hiking trails known as "Circle X", "Backbone" and "Mishe Mokwa". The latter is what fuels local mystery and controversy. While hiking the trail for the first time I wondered if time had ever passed as I gazed at these ancient volcanic rocks. Then just when I thought it was spooky enough one of the large oblong rocks appears to be precariously balancing on the edge of a cliff. As I hiked farther down I could clearly see there wasn't much holding that rock in place as it nearly teeters on the edge much like an egg standing on end in a small pillar of salt.
After taking in the "balancing rock" there is yet another bizarre icon hiding in the lost valley. Within the same stretch of the Mishe Mokwa path is another mysterious figure. Up on the summit of the hill facing the hiking trail is a large rock that looks much like an Easter Island head.

I found this quite interesting but it didn't hit home until I read a book by David Hatcher Childress called "Lost Cities of North and Central America". The author of this book is the real life Indiana Jones. He details his travels and adventures that explore ancient Mayan ruins and other lost civilizations that might have ruins in various places in North America.
This book discusses the lost continent of Mu and a friend of David's refers to the area as 'Kalimu' which is the aforementioned title of this blog posting. The book has photographs of both of these mysterious artifacts but also mentions some interesting facts about the lost civilization of Lemuria, Hindu explorers and California.
Childress writes that an archaeologist from the University of Bombay traces the name 'California' from the ancient Hindu Kali Temples which were constructed by Hindu travellers. Childress also describes another artifact which I've yet to find which is an ancient wall but is allegedly a 'natural formation' according to the owner of the private land where the wall is located. Perhaps we will find out who first resided in California and what happened to them.
