'''Mu''', or '''Lemuria''', was the lost continent of the Pacific, which, according to the findings of James Churchward, archaeologist and author of ''The Lost Continent of Mu'', extended from north of Hawaii three thousand miles south to Easter Island and the Fijis and was made up of three areas of land stretching more than five thousand miles from east to west. | '''Mu''', or '''Lemuria''', was the lost continent of the Pacific, which, according to the findings of James Churchward, archaeologist and author of ''The Lost Continent of Mu'', extended from north of [[Hawaii]] three thousand miles south to Easter Island and the Fijis and was made up of three areas of land stretching more than five thousand miles from east to west. | ||
Churchward’s history of the ancient Motherland is based on records inscribed on sacred tablets he claims to have discovered in India. With the help of the high priest of an Indian temple, he deciphered the tablets. During fifty years of research he confirmed their contents in further writings, inscriptions, and legends he came upon in Southeast Asia, the Yucatan, Central America, the Pacific islands, Mexico, North America, ancient Egypt and other civilizations. He estimates that Mu was destroyed approximately twelve thousand years ago by the collapse of the gas chambers that upheld the continent. | Churchward’s history of the ancient Motherland is based on records inscribed on sacred tablets he claims to have discovered in India.
