Mu
Lost
continent supposed to have been situated in the Pacific, being 5,000 miles long and 3,000
miles wide, with its center just south of the Equator.
According to the
Anglo-American Col. James Churchward, when in India during the famine of 1866, a Hindu
priest taught him an ancient language, Naacal, which was apparently humankind's original
tongue. He was then able to decipher the story of Mu on some ancient stone tablets hidden
in the priest's temple. The tablets revealed that man first appeared in Mu 2 million years
ago, and that a sophisticated race of 64 million people then evolved and
developed a civilization superior in many respects to our own, just to be destroyed
in a single gigantic volcanic eruption. But there were some survivors, and from them
sprang all the world's present races.
Churchward
wrote a book,
The Lost Continent of
Mu, that begins with these words:
"The
Garden of Eden was not in Asia but on a now sunken continent in the
Pacific Ocean. The Biblical story of creation — the epic of the seven
days and seven nights — came first not from the peoples of the Nile or
of the Euphrates Valley but from this now submerged Continent, Mu —
the Motherland of Man."
Other
books written by Churchward include
Sacred Symbols of Mu,
Cosmic Forces of Mu,
Children of Mu,
and
The Books of the Golden Age,
all of them describing further aspects of the alleged Muvian civilization.
Fantastic, isn't
it? Well, recent genetical studies suggest that some time in the past, due to some not yet
pinpointed environmental catastrophe, a "population bottleneck" resulted,
meaning that our ancestors went through an event that greatly reduced our numbers and thus
our genetic variation. It is speculated that this event could have been the eruption of
Mount Toba in Sumatra, 71,000 years ago, which was the largest volcanic eruption in the
last 400 million years, causing most of India to be buried under ash and issuing a global
"nuclear winter". Gigantic tidal waves also swept the nearby oceans. See
Lemuria and Atlantis.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
