JZ Knight and 'Ramtha'

In 1977 in Tacoma, Washington, JZ Knight said an ancient warrior from Lemuria called Ramtha appeared to her; she went on to 'channel' him to large audiences.

1977 CE · 47.25, -122.44 · status: claim

The account

She founded Ramtha's School of Enlightenment at Yelm in 1988, one of the best-known New Age organisations in the country. Students practice exercises such as blindfolded archery and field work.

The sceptical view

There is no evidence for Lemuria or for the entity; former students have criticised the school, and courts have heard disputes over its teachings.
