Lost continent of Mu

[lunarwing]

We've been talking about possible locations for Atlantis or Eden.... what about Mu?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(lost_continent)

....or Lemuria?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuria_(continent)

I think these were lost for the same reasons that Atlantis, Eden, and many other sites have been lost. A global massive rapid rise in the oceans. I'll leave the cause of which to your personal opinion.

There's a play theory I think might have happened on Easter Island. It was a much larger island or even connected to a mainland. The occupants found the ocean was rapidly rising.... maybe even cut them off from other land. These survivors made their way to the highest ground. The ocean rise came to a stop, and the mountain top which is now Easter Island, was created.

There were probably too many people, that made it to the highest dry ground, that the land could not support them. They quickly used up their resources. They knew there might be others out there and had hopes that someone would find them.

They probably had 24/7 sea watches. Eventually they started to make the Moai... the heads... that way someone from the sea would see these "people" standing on the island... facing the sea. And come rescue them.

Lemuria is known to have not existed. It's origins start from someone studying Lemurs. I am not completely familiar with the particulars of his research, bu basically, to make his theory about the animals work, he hypothesized that there was a lost continent/island (dubbed Lemuria) in between two areas where lemurs reside. The animals left that continent/island and relocated to their current areas, then the continent/island sank. There is actually no evidence at all supporting Lemuria's existance.

That's not to say that it proves Atlantis, Eden or Mu are fictional as well. Lemuria, however, is just someone's hypothesis based on pretty much nothing.

There have been sunken remains founds in both the Atlantic and Pacific ocean, whether or not they were Atlantis and Mu who knows.

In Carl Munck's works, he uses geomathematics and geodetics and found sunken remains in the Atlantic and Pacific. It's in disk 3 of his dvd set The Code, if anyone is interested in his approach. And you can do the math calculations and look up the coordinates yourself. I've only done a few of them so far, I just recently watched the dvds.

Also, Edgar Caycee's Mound Builders dvd discusses Atlantis and Mu and possible migration to North America. I don't know much more about Atlantis and Mu than the above. If you're interested in the Mound Builders of North America, you may like this dvd.

Perhaps the ancient Egyptians knew where the ancient land of Mu was located but it was destined to become another buried former residence when they continued to re-invent themselves:

"Mut was the divine mother goddess, the queen of all gods. She is portrayed as a woman wearing a vulture headdress, with the double crown(Pshent) of upper and lower Egypt".

Mu and Lemuria are not mysterious places at all, just references to places mentioned in ancient texts.

In 1864 the French scholar Brasseur translated Mayan texts that described an ancient land destroyed by volcanic eruption. Finding a strange pair of letters M and U, he named it the continent Mu. Plongeon picked up on Mu and expanded on it in his Mayan studies, deciding it was located somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, and was destroyed at the same time as Plato's Atlantis.

The island of Madagascar is Lemuria (land of lemurs). It was associated with Darwinian evolutionary studies. When Madagascar split off from the mainland lemurs were widespread, but they went extinct on the mainland while they persisted on the island because the predators that decimated them were restricted to the mainland.

Not mysterious places? I respectfully disagree because I think even the Ark of the Covenant could one day be found at one of these ancient undisclosed locations.

Mu as I understand it is the Mutherland, (motherland), and was int he southern pacific, from Easter Island to the Solomon Islands, and then onto Hawaii, it seem it would have either been a gigantic piece of land, or numerous large islands, that sunk. I read on this back in the 60's and 70's, at one time there were numerous books on the subject, and on Atlantis in the Atlantic. I am still waiting on the latest discoveries off the coast of England and Ireland of the submerged areas for possible one location of one of the islands of Atlantis.

I know Phillip Coppens just recently did an article on James Churchward and MU. But, I'm not certain if it mentioned about the NAACALS and their artifacts and stone tablets found by I believe the guy's name was Nevins. I need to find the references. But, apparently they found actual documentation to the existence of Lemuria / Mu. And that, basically instead of Humanity moving from an "east to west" migration that Humanity and Civilization actually traveled from "West to East". And, that the Mayan etc came before the Atlantians but after the Lemurians.

The Mu descendants escaped earth with their surviving ascendants inhabiting Saturn to this day, a peaceful scientific community. Everyone is of service to each other with specialized tasks and do not destroy themselves because of simplicity to survive, there is absolutely no monetary system there, period.

I'm tellin' ya'll. Nan Madol, it's what you're looking for. Why does nobody study Nan Madol? Because it is absolutely out in the middle of nowhere.

It's the ancient stone city of canals. Wait, hold up, what if they weren't canals? What if this city was above sea level when it was built?

Nope, canals. You don't have a doctorate in anthropology like mine, do you? See.... therefore... it's canals.



A big question I have about Nan Madol, is if it was just a random city on an island in the middle of nowhere, why is the city located on the East side of the island, as if you would see it if you were traveling by boat from Peru?

Never heard of it, where is it?
