It was a largely flat land with massive plains, vast rivers, rolling hills, and huge bays.Ĭhurchward gives a vivid description of Mu as the home of the Naacal civilization, which flourished between 50,000 and 12,000 years ago. They tell the story of how Earth, Mu, and the Naacal civilization were created by the seven commands of the seven superlative intellects of the seven-headed serpent Narayana.Īccording to Churchward, Mu was located in the Pacific Ocean and stretched 5,000 miles east to west and 3,000 miles from north to south, making it bigger than all South America. They were written in a long lost ‘Naga-Maya language’ which only two other people in India could read.Īfter convincing the priest to teach him the dead language of Mu, “the place where man first appeared,” Churchward was able to decipher them. James Churchward (1851-1936) / Public domainĬhurchward ‘rediscovered’ Mu while serving as a British soldier in India, where he claimed to have befriended a high-ranking temple priest who showed him a set of ancient clay tablets.
THE LOST CIVILIZATION OF MU SERIES
In a series of books, beginning with Lost Continent of Mu, the Motherland of Man (1926), Churchward revived the Frenchman’s hypothesis but insisted that Mu had been in the Pacific, not the Atlantic. Le Plongeon’s nutty theory would doubtless have died with him, were it not for the British fisherman, inventor and occult writer James Churchward, a native of Okehampton in Devon, England (which I only mention because it’s just down the road from my own hometown). One of the few survivors of the calamity was Queen Mu, who managed to sail to Egypt, where she founded the civilization of Ancient Egypt. This was Mu, also known as Atlantis, the mythical land said to have sunk into the Atlantic Ocean in the days when Arthur was King of England.Īccording to Le Plongeon, Mu sank beneath the waves after being struck by a series of disastrous volcanic explosions. It told him that the Mayans had first arrived in Central America from an even older continent. Le Plongeon claimed to be the first European to translate the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the K’iche people. Mu was ‘discovered’ in 1894 by a French archaeologist called Augustus Le Plongeon, while he was investigating some Mayan ruins on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Mu - I’ll have to Google that when I get home, I thought to myself.
They are best known for burning £1m, equivalent to all of their earnings from their music, before deleting their back catalogue and announcing their departure from the music business.
‘The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu,’ better known as KLF, were an acid house band that had a number one hit back in the early ‘90s with a song called Doctorin’ the Tardis. Mu - the name rang a distant, bleary bell. A plaque informs passersby that it was created to commemorate the lost continent of Mu, which sank into the Pacific Ocean 12,000 years ago. At the top of the hill in the middle of the park, I came across this startlingly beautiful sculpture. Being on a spur of land that juts out into the river, it’s surrounded by water on three sides. A few days ago I was cycling down the River Arakawa when I came to Ojima Komatsugawa park.
