I mean "from the period of humanity's development predating recorded
history." 5000BC or older, I suppose. Not "predating recent Annese colonial
history" if that's what you thought.

Gondwanaland is never mentioned in isolation in the novellas, but always in
the same breath as Atlantis, Africa, Mu, and other places quite separate in
terms of geography and the time at which they existed or are supposed to
have existed. Since it is never established which, if any, of these is the
home the ancient colonists came from, picking the one with the most
scientific name isn't really being any more precise.
