The Lost Continent of Mu

About this book

James Churchward believed a vast civilisation once flourished across the Pacific Ocean, only to vanish beneath the waves. He searched for its traces in supposed ancient tablets, religious symbols and the traditions of distant peoples.

Churchward illustrates his reconstruction of Mu with maps and diagrams, arguing that a lost Pacific homeland once influenced distant cultures. He relies on supposed tablets, symbols and fragments of tradition to support the theory. Archaeology and geology provide no evidence for such a continent, though the maps give his invented geography a strikingly definite form.
