The Lost Continent of Mu

Originally published in 1926, The Lost Continent of Mu is a classic text now with a new introduction by David Hatcher Childress. The Lost Continent of Mu theorizes that a now-lost continent once existed in the Pacific, with a thriving human civilization. Author Churchwald presents what he learned from ancient carved tablets, hidden for thousands of years in Hindu temple vaults, and the mysteries locked in their heretofore unintelligible arcane script. The script, allegedly the original language of mankind, told of an advanced worldwide civilization on a continent in the Pacific, which was eventually destroyed by cataclysm. A handful of black-and-white illustrations add a visual touch to this amazing speculation of unexplained wonders.

Great book for the open minded. However if you are devoute in your religous beliefs and feel that there is no other explaination except the Bible then this book may not be for you. I found the theory of Mu very interesting and enlightening.

if you read about atlantis .then you should pick up a copy of this book.the author gives a good idea about a continet that sunk in the pacific over ten thousand years or so.a must read.

I first read Churchward's "Lost Continent of Mu" when I was about fourteen years old... It was kind of my introduction to anthropology and ancient history... I found Churchward to be a fascinating writer... He apparently was in the British army in India as a Colonel and met a "Rishi"... who told him about some ancient records guarded in some temples about a lost continent ... Actually Hindu legends does talk about an island kingdom that sank at the beginning of the Kali Yuga...Churchward also identified the flying chariots mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata as early scientific wonders...I was thoroughly entranced by Churchward and reading him influenced some of my early views about ancient civilizations... I still think there might be something to it!A more recent book that takes Churchward's line of thought and casts it in a more contemporary mode is Stephen Oppenheimer's "Eden in the East"... You might first read Churchward and then "Eden in the East"...

Churchward wrote in early 20th Century .His book is excellent for adults as well as teenagers who want to see the world's history from a different standpoint.Just imagine !
