THE LOST CONTINENT OF ‘MU’
Exhibit B
David Hatcher Childress - Lost Cities of Ancient Lemuria & the Pacific ©1988
One of the great proponents of Lemuria [or MU] was James Churchward, an Anglo-American who spent a great deal of his life in India. Here he was initiated into certain eastern esoteric “truths,” being shown, supposedly, some ancient tablets in an Indian/Tibetan monastery. [See ‘Nibiru and the Subterranean Connection – Part One”—GJ] (There have been many Tibetan monasteries in India for hundreds, if not thousands of years.) He was taught how to read the tablets and was told many fascinating things about ancient history. Then, after traveling all over the world, he wrote a series of very popular books. [The first one entitled] "The lost Continent of Mu…”
“Churchward’s books added a great deal to the store of information available on Lemuria. While Churchward had his inaccuracies, he nevertheless had many interesting things to say. Furthermore, one can find substantiation for much of his information.”
“In the year 1900 at Dunhuang, a small desert town on the border of northern Tibet, a Taoist monk found a hidden library inside a cliff honeycombed with caves. The room had been walled up with bricks in the eleventh century to keep it from falling into the hands of invading barbarians. For eight hundred years the books had lain there, preserved by the dry desert air and maintained in excellent condition. Then the famous explorer and archaeologist Sir Aurel Stein passed through Dunhuang in 1907 and persuaded the monk to allow him to view the treasure, which was at the time still kept in the secret [subterranean] cave.”
“He found Buddhist texts in many languages—Chinese, Tibetan, Sanskrit—and some in languages that were completely unknown! Just how old some of the texts were was impossible to tell, but they had probably already been copied over several times from earlier texts. The originals could have been written hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago. Amazingly, one of these manuscripts had FRAGMENTS OF AN ANCIENT MAP WHICH SHOWED PARTS OF A CONTINENT IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN!” Pages 7-8.
