The Troano Manuscript in Churchward’s Mu Theory
Figures, signs and circular forms occupy bordered compartments in a tall manuscript reproduction. Churchward identifies it with the Troano manuscript and reads it as an account of Mu’s destruction. That reading belongs to his lost-continent theory. The visible page is retained as a manuscript illustration without presenting his proposed translation as settled Maya decipherment.
