![]() The end of the last ice age we know now was a very rapid event, and 12,000 years ago the world’s oceans were 350 lower than they are today, thus, low lying land from that time would now be submerged. However, there may be some validity to the presence of a large land mass in the distant past which was in the Pacific. Also, his claims that the sinking of Mu was the result of massive gas pockets under the continent exploding is scoffed at by geologists. His story truly hinges on whether or not he was in fact acquainted with an Indian priest and saw numerous rare tablets. What is lacking from Churchward’s account is any verifiable information. Geologists find it hard to imagine that there was dry land here, as the area is crossed by the so called Andesite Line, making it geologically unlikely there was a landmass. In it, the central framework of his claims about Mu was put forward. ![]() The language was written down on numerous tablets, which the priest allowed Churchward to see and read. Churchward’s discovery became famous when a major article on it appeared on Novemin the “New York American” newspaper. Allegedly, the priest and two others were the only people in the world able to read it. In India, Churchward befriended a priest who taught him to read an ancient dead language. He claimed that the Mayans had originated from a lost civilization, Mu, which was on par with Atlantis, and which had been destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Unfortunately, when the Mayan language was deciphered several decades later, it was learned that LePlongeon’s interpretation was completely erroneous. The first writer to discuss the topic of Mu or Lemuria was Augustus LePlongeon in the late 1800s. Probably the most famous and prolific writer on the subject was James Churchward, who penned several books on the subject. Although not as famous as its counterpart in the Atlantic Ocean, as in “Atlantis” much has been written and speculated about a continent in the Pacific that usually goes by the name Lemuria or Mu, which supposedly sunk below the waves several thousand years ago.
