Mu, Mu, I love you
What if I told you there was a continent larger than North, Central, and South America combined, and it occupies the space shown as empty on the world map? I know, you'd say I'm crazy. So, hear me out when I tell you that I have compelling information that may change your mind about what you believe is the fixed seven continents on the Earth map.
Today, I will share with you the concept of the lost land of Mu. To clarify, this story is a compelling mystery from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mu is often considered a primordial civilization predating other ancient cultures. This piece delves into the history, evidence, and theories supporting this lost continent located in the Pacific Ocean.
Firstly, the story of Mu gained prominence through the works of Augustus Le Plongeon, a 19th-century archaeologist and writer. Le Plongeon, while studying the ancient Maya ruins in Central America, claimed that their civilization has a relationship to a far older continent, Mu, located in the Pacific Ocean.

Cradle of Humanity

Meanwhile, his theories are translations of the ancient Troano Codex, which he believed detailed a catastrophic event that sank the continent.
Following Le Plongeon, James Churchward expanded the narrative in the early 20th century. Specifically, Churchward's books, such as The Lost Continent of Mu (1926), described Mu as the cradle of humanity, boasting advanced technology and spiritual wisdom. In addition, according to Churchward, Mu was a massive landmass that stretched across the Pacific, connecting regions as far apart as Asia and the Americas. Consequently, his work captured readers' attention and became a cornerstone of the Mu legend.
A distinguished Career
Further, Churchward's military career in India played a significant role in shaping his theories. That is to say, Churchward served as a colonel in the British Army during the late 19th century, a period when India was under British colonial rule. While stationed there, he claimed to have befriended a high-ranking Hindu priest who introduced him to ancient texts written on Naacal tablets. According to Churchward, these tablets contained detailed accounts of Mu's history, culture, and eventual destruction.
Moreover, Churchward's time in India gave him unique access to metaphysical knowledge and spiritual traditions, which he integrated into his writings. For example, he asserted that the Naacal texts described Mu as the origin of all major world religions and civilizations. Most importantly, Churchward detailed insights from the tablets that the Land of Mu was the original garden of Edan and home of 64 million inhabitants - known as the Naacals.
Meanwhile, the total estimated population of North, Central, and South America is approximately 1.24 billion people. He tells us that the Naacals were far more technically advanced than our civilization. As a result, the ancient societies of India, Babylon, Persia, Egypt, and the Mayas were the remnants of Mu's colonies.

Similar or Same
Above all, look at the cultural similarities among ancient civilizations as evidence. For example, each culture incorporated pyramid-like structures in their architecture and myths of catastrophic floods. Also, symbolic motifs across Mesoamerican, Polynesian, and Asian cultures are likely remnants of a shared origin. Furthermore, some researchers argue that oral traditions among Pacific islanders allude to a vast continent that once existed in the ocean.
Equally important, geological theories also support Mu's existence. For instance, specific interpretations of plate tectonics suggest the possibility of submerged land masses in the Pacific. Although mainstream geology dismisses the idea of an entire continent sinking, smaller landforms or islands could have disappeared due to tectonic activity or rising sea levels (flood myth). Indeed, discoveries of underwater structures, such as those near Yonaguni in Japan, have fueled speculation about ancient, submerged civilizations.

If they build it...
One last consideration is here for your review. How do we currently have megalithic structures on Earth that we can not build with today's technology? To be clear, I'm not just talking about the Pyramids of Giza or Borobudur Temple in Java (read my blog here). In keeping with the holiday spirit, let's look at the Cologne Cathedral, which houses the Three Wise Men's relics (bones).
Our current mainstream information teaches us that the construction of the Cologne Cathedral started somewhere between 1190 and 1225. However, no historical documents confirm the exact date or construction methods used. Moreover, no one in the scientific community contradicts this claim, even though no irrefutable evidence exists. Further, the cathedral is a massive 85,185 sq ft and 515 ft tall. Consequently, this is the tallest twin-spired church in the world, the second tallest church in Europe after Ulm Minster, and the third tallest church of any kind in the world. But, the powers that be want us to believe that people built this edifice with hand tools, scaffolding, and donkeys.


What world are you living in?
I share this information as evidence that we live in a world of miracle structures that we either walk by without interest or receive incomplete information and take for fact. Why? Ultimately, you must decide if you are curious enough to do your homework and draw conclusions, enabling you to understand that you live in an amazing time. The information is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that we as humans can do more than we thought possible. Much more!
In conclusion, the legend of the land of Mu reminds us that our history, mythology, and theoretical science can lead us to a past we have yet to learn. From Le Plongeon's initial claims to Churchward's detailed views, the idea of a lost Pacific continent is a real possibility.
