Tracing the Creation Story

Could it be that the Biblical story of creation evolved from an ancient account relating the history of a great civilization that existed thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years before the ancient Greeks, Chaldeans, Babylonians, Persians, Egyptians, or Aryans? Is it possible that the Garden of Eden did in fact exist but was not located in the Near East as most historians speculate, but on a now-sunken continent that once existed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean--the remnants of which we now call Hawaii, Fuji, Samoa, and Tahiti? Well, according to extensive studies conducted in the early 1900s by renown British explorer and historian Colonel James Churchward (1851-1936) there is considerable and rather astonishing evidence supporting a theory that such a wondrous land did in fact once exist. A land called Mu.

According to Churchward’s written account, The Lost Continent of Mu, after befriending an Indian priest who was at first was reluctant to assist the adventurer, then led Churchward to a collection of long-forgotten sacred tablets which told of a priestly brotherhood called the Naacal who were sent from Mu to their colonies throughout the world to teach their advanced writing system, religion, sciences, and a multitude of other knowledge. Following this lead, Churchward criss-crossed the world several times, tracking what he believes is consistent detailed evidence of the land of Mu (which numerous ancient texts refer to as “Motherland,”): details about her people, her culture, her religious system, her language, and perhaps most importantly, her demise.

From India, Churchward traced these accounts first to Egypt; from Egypt to the temples of Sinai (where he believes Moses copied them); from Sinai to sacred texts of the Hindus (from their progenitors, the Aryans, of the Indus Valley); to the Chaldeans and Greeks; to Yucatan in Mexico where they resurfaced in the accounts of the ancient Maya; and finally to cave writings and oral accounts of the Zuni and Hopi tribes of the U.S., Southwest. After a decade of studying, translating, and cross-referencing, Churchward finally had enough evidence to conclude that the story of creation was indeed the same story told by virtually every ancient culture, and that the oldest of such accounts refers to a land that disappeared from the face of the earth some 13,000 years ago, by Churchward’s reckoning. A land that upon disappearing, took nearly all of it 64,000,000 inhabitants to their watery graves. This was the once idyllic land of Mu.

Mu: Its Land and People

According to Churchward, there were apparently seven great or principal cities once flourishing in Mu which served as centers of religion, science, and learning, as well as many other large cities, towns, and villages. The dominant people were white in color with “clear white or olive skin, soft, dark eyes, and straight black hair.” Many other cultures lived on Mu--yellow, brown, and black skinned--but were not the dominant people. The continent itself was a vast stretch of rolling countryside, extending from north of the Hawaiian Islands south; a line between Easter Island and the Fijis formed its southern boundary. Over 5000 miles from east to west, and over 3000 miles north to south, Mu consisted of three areas of land divided by narrow waterways. It is said to have been a beautiful, tropical land with rich grazing grasses and tilled fields surrounded by tropical vegetation--completely void of mountains or mountain ranges. In fact, according to oral and written accounts, no mountains yet existed anywhere in the world. Mu was the center of Earth’s civilization, learning, and commerce. Great stone temples, statues and monoliths stood throughout the land that could be seen from many miles away. The pyramids of Egypt and Yucatan are said to be examples of their creativity, engineering, as well as colonization. For generations, the people of Mu had prepared for a life everlasting, eternal without end. Generations who saw no signs of what the future had in store.

Disaster and the Beginning of the End

Just at the peak of her grandeur and prosperity, the first rumblings of the earth began. A short time later came the first earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Almost immediately, many large cities along the southern coast were leveled as ocean tides rose and sent cataclysmic tidal waves over the land. Enormous volcanoes then sprang from all over the continent, gushing fire and molten lava. Having nowhere to flow, it formed massive cones of igneous rock that can still be seen on the southern islands today.

After the volcanic rumblings subsided, the people of Mu rebuilt their cities and resumed commerce as usual. For generations, they flourished as they always had, the memories of the destruction becoming part of their distant history; the stuff of fables and myth. But then without warning, the rumblings returned. This time with much more consequential results. Numerous texts from around the world are said to speak of these finals days. One reads: “The whole continent heaved and rolled like ocean waves. The land trembled and shook like leaves of a tree in a storm. Temples and palaces tumbled to the ground and stone monuments and statues fell to the ground. The cities were heaps of ruins. As the land rose and fell, fires from within the earth burst forth, piercing the sky with flames three miles in diameter. Lightening filled the heavens as thick, black smoke engulfed the land. Huge waves rolled over the shores and across the land, washing away every city and all living things in their path. In just days, the entire continent was consumed by flood waters and became a gigantic red ball of fire. When the sun finally set, intense darkness prevailed. The people of Mu ran for places to hide but none were to be found.”
