Ocean between America and Asia, its center lying somewhat south of the equator. Basing its area on the remains which are still above water, it would have been about six thousand miles from east to west, and about three thousand from north to south. All the rocky islands, individually and in groups, scattered over the Pacific Ocean were once part of the continent of Mu. About twelve Pacific Mu thousand years ago cataclysmic earthquakes rent asunder. She became a fiery vortex, and the waters of the Pacific rushed in, making a watery grave for a vast and sixty millions of people. Easter Island, Tahiti, Samoas, Cook, Tongas, Marshall, Gilbert, Caroline, Marianas, Hawaii and the Marquesas are the pacivilization thetic fingers of that great land, standing today as sentinels to a silent grave. The confirmed by: Naacal tablets, books, writings, inscriptions and legends found in India, China, Burma, Tibet and Cambodia. Ancient Maya books, inscriptions, symbols and legends found in Yucatan and Central America. Remains, inscriptions, symbols and legends found among existence of this great continent is the Pacific Islands. Stone tablets found in Mexico near Mexico City. 15 — THE CHILDREN OF MU i6 Cliff dwellers’ writings and inscriptions found in Western North America. Books of old Greek philosophers. Books and writings of the ancient Egyptians. Legends throughout the world. These confirmations are all given in The Lost Continent of Mu. They show that: There was once a large continent of land in the Pacific Ocean called the Land of Mu. On this great continent man made his advent on earth about two hundred thousand years ago. The Land of Mu and the Biblical Garden of Eden were one and the same land. Both the Naacal and the Mexican tablets show clearly that man is a special creation. They also show in what way he differs from all other creations. An account of the creation is given in both sets of tablets which is very similar to the Biblical account. At the time of Mu’s destruction her people were in an exceedingly high state of civilization; as she was far ahead of the present time. (No wonder! She was regards science end of two hundred thousand years of experience and development. We today cannot claim five hundred.) The great civilizations of the old Oriental empires India, Egypt, Babylonia, etc. were only the dying embers of Mu’s great civilization. They were her children, who withered and died without her care. All tablets, inscriptions and writings which I used in The Lost Continent of are accompanied by keys for reading them. Every assertion made is accompanied by at the — Mu reasonable proof. The facts are there. have to take care of themselves.

These writings have been broken up and many is them lost. As they were universal among the ancients, scraps and fragments of them are found in all quarters of the earth. When put together they supplement one another to a great extent, so that by combining them we can make a beginning towards unraveling the wonders of of the earth’s First Great Civilization. For over fifty years I have been hunting these scraps form the beginning of the Creation and Man. It rests with and putting them together an intelligent tale of so as to — who come after me to complete the tale. Ancient Relics.-— Relics that can be traced back as coming directly from Mu, the Motherland, are extremely those rare. During the past few years I have been singularly for- tunate in finding two that are at least intimately connected Mu. Both either made in with are symbolic figures in bronze. the Motherland or in They were one of the ancient Uighur cities before the eastern half of that great empire was destroyed by the north running wave of the last Magnetic Cataclysm which was the Biblical “Flood.” This wave destroyed all the country over which it ran, the peo- THE CHILDREN OF MU i8 drowned and the cities washed away or buried under the drift. The Uighur Capital City today lies under pie were fifty feet of boulders, gravel and sand. It is situated in the Gobi Desert, which today has large areas of rock only, the soil and everything with it having been washed away by the “Flood.” I am using one of these relics as the frontispiece of this without question, one of the two oldest bronzes in existence. If Uighur, it is about 18,000 or 20,000 years old. If from Mu, the age cannot be estimated. This figure is a symbol of as the great ruler. The fineness of the workmanship is not to be found surpassed, and very seldom equaled in any of the prominent jewelry stores in our big cities today. Both symbols have been in America for about 150 years. I know their history, but the less said about it the better since, in the Oriental home from which they were taken, they were without book. It is, Mu question sacred relics. The British Museum has three scepters which undoubt- edly were manufactured in Mu before she went down. In Mu,^ the Motherland, there were ten distinct tribes. Although they were physically easily differentiated, there were few variations in language, and these only of a minor character. A greater change is seen in their glyphs or writings. In the Motherland each of her people occupied its own territory; and, when various tribes took part in the colonization of a new country, they did not settle down indiscriminately, but each tribe took its own land and built its own cities as their fathers did in Mu. They settled down adjoining each other and formed a homogeneous whole. 1 letter in every word in the ancient language of Mu is pronounced. pronounced Moo; A is pronounced ah; U is pronounced oo as in moon; pronounced tah; Tau is pronounced ta-oo. Every Mu is Ta is THE ORIGIN OF MAN 19 This original form of isolation grew with time so that the tribes eventually became separate peoples, and finally nations. And as the isolation became greater, changes in language crept in. CHAPTER II THE EASTERN LINES —When Mu, Motherland, became overcrowded, or, among her great navigators, some ambitious and enterprising company found new and available lands, a colonial development was started. These emigrant children of Mu were called Mayas. All who left the Motherland in any direction were called Mayas. Colonization must have started at least 70,000 years before Mu sank, for there are Naacal writings in the Orient stating that the Holy Brothers carried the religion and the sciences of the Motherland to the colonies “over 70,000 years ago.” One of these colonies was said to “have a Colonization. the population of 35,000,000 people.” From the remains of man of great antiquity found in and of which in many cases a fragmentary history is given in the form of symbolic writings, tableaux, tablets and in ancient documents, I am enabled to plot out the courses or lines taken by the colonists from the Motherland. From these remains it is very clearly shown that two main directions of colonization were followed, with many branches from the main lines, and many independent short lines. The two main directions were east and west from Mu. I have found no records showing which of these directions was first commenced, or the approximate date when Mu’s first colony was established. The date of only one colony is to be found so far, the Maya Colony on the Nile Delta in Egypt, which was settled about 16,000 years ago. Records point to the possibilall parts of the earth, 20 THE EASTERN LINES ity that the first colonies on each of the main 21 lines were how- same time. We know definitely, ever, where the first colonies were started. In an easterly direction settlements were made on what are now the West Coasts of North and Central America. Westerly colonization first took place on the Eastern Coast of Asia. A symbol was assigned for the colonies the sun rising on the horizon started at about the : without rays. {Fig. I.) 2. I. When a colony had advanced far enough to govern itself under the suzerainty of the Motherland it was turned into a Colonial Empire, and a ruler appointed. Its symbol was the sun with rays rising on the horizon. {Fig. 2.) The ruler had the title “Son of the Sun” bestowed upon him by the Motherland, which meant that he was a subject Mu, “The Empire of the Sun.” The Eastern Lines.

From there to Atlantis and from Atlantis through the Mediterranean Sea and Asia Minor, and through the Dardanelles to the southeast corner of the Black Sea. From the west coast of America a branch ran down the west coast of South America, traceable as far as Chile. From the east coast of Central America a branch ran down the east coast of South America, traceable as far records. It ran to Mu. from Colonization of Lines Eastern The i i 1 1 I THE EASTERN LINES as 23 Argentina. Another branch ran to the north and east, ending in Scandinavian Europe. From Atlantis branches ran to southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa. Along the Mediterranean, branches were thrown out north and south. The last of these Mediterranean colonies was the Nile Delta, Lower Egypt. This line I have called the Eastern North Main Line. The other Eastern Main Line has no records, only evidences and an ancient map. It started from the southwest of the Motherland to South America. From the west coast of South America it passed through canals to the Amazon Sea, now the Amazon Swamp. After passing through the Amazon Sea, it crossed to East Africa with probable calls along the southern shores of Atlantis for supplies. The colonists of this line were the black races, the Negroes and Negroids. They still have distant cousins in the Pacific occupying Melanesia (the southwestern Pacific Islands). In addition to the black line there was a white race known as the Caras or Carians who are the Greeks today. There were three other very important Eastern Lines from Mu that went no farther than America: First, to about Nevada. Second, the Mexico Valley. Third, to Peru.

Nowhere else on earth is there such an abundance of varying material for him to study. Not only this, but some of the oldest records of man are to be found among this archaeological wealth, dating far back into the Tertiary Era with some few cases probably extending back as far as the Miocene Period. These remains are hoary with age. There they stand awaiting intelligent, sympathetic, believing students who will and truthfully recount what is told. The student must read the writings on their wrinkled and weathered faces and interpret them intelligently. They are too old and venerable to be bluffed into giving up their secrets. The student must come to them with an open mind, capable of receiving what they tell him. He must come to them knowing their language and their alphabet. The evidences which tell of these civilizations vary from flint arrow and spear heads to exquisite pottery, jewelry and paintings, even to great cities built of concrete and listen to their tales stone.

In The Lost Continent of I gave a few out of the many legends about the Quetzals to which an have left Mu added here. Back in the 90’s during my trip to Central America, I obtained from Indians the information that far back in the dense forests of Honduras and Guatemala there still additional note is existed villages of blond white Indians. One of these Indi- ans claimed to have lived for several weeks in one of their \ \ hAO' c.'O THE CHILDREN OF MU 26 villages. He obtained from them the most authentic ac- count of the Quetzals that Maya and I have heard. Their language is they claim that they are the descendants of those Avho fled to the forests when their King Quetzal was conquered and overthrown. The Pygmies. Very few writers on Yucatan have said anything about the Pygmies. Yet they must have been an important little people judging by what they have left behind, for all along the coast line of eastern Yucatan and on many of the islands lying off the coast are to be seen their houses and little temples. Among the natives of this region are found many legends about the Pygmies who once lived there, and not so very long ago. At Niscute, Mexico and elsewhere are to be seen many of their stone remains. Everything about them is dwarfed, the rooms are small and the ceilings low. On the island of Cozumet there is a little temple whose doorway measures only three feet in height and eighteen inches in width. This is a typical doorway. The question is, are they all — America? I am told not, for when I was in British Honduras I was informed that hunters and explorers occasionally meet them back in the dark valleys extinct in of the mountains. They are about three feet tall with dark complexions and an abundance of very long black hair. It is said that they speak the Maya tongue fluently. ^ CHAPTER — III ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA When Motherland started out to people the earth, North America and Eastern Asia were the two lands where she planted her first colonies, so that here, in our own home, we may look for the earliest records of man not in Europe, Egypt or Babylonia. They were the tailenders. Going to these countries to find the early records of man is like a shepherd going everywhere to find a lost lamb while he is carrying it under his arm all the the time. Let us commence by mentally carrying ourselves back to the time when the first foot of man trod American soil, and reconstruct a probable scene. We assume, basing our assumption on modern history, that expanded while her civilization was in its early stages. We, therefore, picture to ourselves an ancient craft leaving the shores of Mu, the Motherland, manned by a crew of stalwart, young adventurers with milk-white skins, blue eyes and light, flaxen hair. When their craft was fairly launched upon the Eastern Sea, they pointed its prow towards the rising sun. A hundred thousand years or more, after man first appeared on Mu, found him so increased in numbers Mu Motherland became the ever growing population. So that the area of available land of the insufficient to sustain these young men had started out to find other lands, if they existed an)rwhere on this globe. 1 The time I have given as the time man had been on earth may appear long but it is taken from tvro tablets written by the Naacals, which state that about the time went down man had been on earth 200,000 years. There are many Oriental legends stating the same thing. Mu 27 THE CHILDREN OF MU 28 They were called Quetzals in the Motherland on ac- count of their making the venomous serpent Quetzacoatl their symbol for the Creator and creation.^ At the end of moon’s journey,® as the rays of the morning sun were lighting up the horizon ahead, the crew saw ahead of their craft a long line of surf breaking on a low, sandy shore, with a low, rolling country beyond. On nearing the surf, they turned the prow of their craft and skirted the shore a line until they came to a stretch of less turbulent water. This they crossed and found themselves at the mouth of a river. They proceeded inland until they came to a suitable landing place where they drew their boat up on the bank and made camp. From the camp they explored the surrounding country, finding it unoccupied by man and eminently adapted for a settlement. They then returned to the Motherland with the good news. The country which they discovered was America, as we call it today, and the particular spot in North America where they landed was Mexico as we now know it. This was more than 50,000 years ago, and it might have been tens of thousands of years before that. After the arrival home of the explorers, expeditions were formed and a regular colonization of this new land set in. Soon it became a large and thriving colony. Other while the original colony spread to the south, eventually settling in Yucatan and Central America. What is now Guatemala is where they built tribes settled to the north and elected a king. The Valley of Mexico.

The flow is about 25 feet thick, showing the enormous ejection. I have not sufficient data to give the date of this submersion. An Egyptian temple record refers to a submersion of land in Central America about 16,000 years ago. This may be the one referred to or it may not. An Aztec tradition, sent to me by Niven a short time since, supports the tem- The legend runs as follows “At the time of the conquest of Mexico by Cortez (A. D. 1521 ) he was told by an Aztec priest that ‘Long, long ago a great flood of water covered the Valley of Mexico and drowned all humanity. So great was the flood that it ple record. : drowned out the and by the gods created a new world in darkness. By new Sun, and this new Sun ruled Sun and a left the age in the history of the world.’ This ” Aztec production but lacks the usual amount of Aztec frills, ribbons and inventions. It comes out of two separate and distinct legends one the submergence of the Valley of Mexico, the other the destruction and submergence of Mu, the Motherland. The submergence of the Valley of Mexico took place long before the submergence of Mu because after the valley had emerged again and become habitable for man, it was repeopled more than once. Mu was called “The Empire of the Sun” and was suzerain over all the world. She was the Sun referred to in the legend. Thus, when Mu, the Sun, was submerged, she, the Sun, “was drowned is a typical — out.” The Empire of the Sun was the ruler of the whole world. Her laws governed all people. When she was gone, all ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA 31 laws throughout the world became chaotic. New forms government had to be arranged for each colony and Colonial Empire: each one from then on had to be selfgoverning. This certainly was “a new era in the history of of the world.” Shortly after the last repeopling from Mu, the great gas began to form along the western parts of North America and in forming raised mountain ranges. Two of these mountain ranges run down through Mexico one on the west side, the other on the east side, forming a broad valley between. As these ranges were being lifted they carried the valley between them up several thousand feet. If at the time these mountains were being raised Mexico was inhabited, it is safe to say that nearly all of the people perished, as was the case in all other areas where mountains were raised. The various phenomena which are shown throughout the Valley of Mexico today demonstrate without the possibility of controversy that the mountain ranges in western North America are not over 1 1,^00 years old, if as much. The two Mexican ranges are continuations of the Rocky Mountain and Cascade Ranges. The bed of the Valley of Mexico during its submergence was a stratum of boulders, gravel and sand, interspersed with seashells which were brought in by the flood from the ocean waters when they filled up the abyss caused by the sinking land. Evidently the water was not very deep nor was the land very long submerged, as there appears to have been insufficient pressure to form a very solid compact rock. Today it is found as a crumbly, unfinished, immature conglomerate rock called tepetate in Mexico. This tepetate rock is found not only in the valley itself but high up on the mountainsides which surround it. Egyptian records say that this rock was laid down about belts — : 32 16,000 years is not THE CHILDREN OF MU ago. How long afterwards emerged it known but from may judge from the character of the rock, that, it again if we could not have been very long under water, comparatively speaking. A civilization occupied the land again after it emerged. This civilization was also wiped out by a cataclysm from the ocean. This clinches the fact that the Mexican Mountains are of recent origin. The Mexican Mountains being of recent origin, and being continuations of our own western ranges, proves that all of the mountain ranges in west- North America are of recent America 12,000 Years Ago. ern origin. — I now come to Niven’s hamlets and villages 4 to 6 miles northwest of Mexico City at a depth of from 17 to 18 feet below the surface, Niven discovered still another Mexican prehistoric civilization. Among second great discovery in Mexico. In many little which he found were 2600 stone tablets. He has gone to the extreme trouble and monumental labor of making tracings of every one and sending them to me. When sending some of the first tracings he wrote “I have been informed by professors (mentioning the names of many) and dozens of others, both American and foreign, that they were symbols unlike anything they had the treasures ever seen.” Not one our prominent archeologists, either in Europe or in America, has been able to decipher a single one of these tablets. This is not surprising for it is impossible for them to decipher any tablet or inscription that is over six or seven thousand years old. To read them one must know the language, the symbols, the alphabet and the cosmogony of Mu. Mu, the Motherland, is the key to all ancient writings. The most ancient writings that of have ever seen are of either a religious or a scientific character. Some are about Mu and nothing else. The alI ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA phabet of the Motherland consisted of i6 many 33 letters and diphthongs. Each letter had three different glyphs expressing it. The the hieratic letter first is which also hidden meaning. The second is used in the body of words generally, and the third is used as an adjective or to emphasize. The esoteric or hidden meaning of the hieratic letters was known only to the priesthood and not even to all of them. In most cases the hidden meaning was the alphabetical symbol symbolized something the alphabetical symbol for the Sacred Four, for Mu, and A for the Creator, the Deity. On examining the tracings of the tablets sent to me by Niven, I saw old friends and found that the keys to the Naacal tablets applied in a general way to these writings. These tablets are the first spoken words from America’s carries a —M H prehistoric past. Besides the tablets Niven found many carved heads, specimens of which he sent to me. If these are truly representative of the people, we have nothing today identically like them. Niven seems to think that they have a Mongol To me, however, they appear more like a coarse Semitic. Strange as it may appear, the writings on some cast. of the tablets are identical in their religious conceptions with what has recently been found in Babylonia. When Niven discovered these tablets he found them generally around altars. Each one had a coating of clay, evidently for the purpose of preserving the colors of the glyphs. Being found around altars leads to the impression that they might have been sacred relics and much older than the date of the people in whose possession we find them. After deciphering and reading a number of these tablets, I found that the bulk of them are extracts and sentences from the Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu, and . . , .

The designs, although in some ex- — . tremely crude, show a highly educated mind with a profound knowledge of the ancients’ conception of the origin and workings of the Great Forces, and a perfect knowledge of life and its origin. This civilization was in no way primitive. On the contrary, in science they were far ahead of us today. Their knowledge of the Cosmic Forces, which our scientists today call “energy” for want of the knowledge of their origin, was evidently perfect. A primitive civilization could not have written these tablets. They are the exposition of the knowledge of a profound science which has only just dawned on the scientific world of today and which has not as yet been learned and mastered by modern man. How can we account for such profound knowledge, in some cases so crudely written? Their pottery and terra cotta figures are the work of experts.

One of their great themes was the Creation, which they systematically follow down from chaos to the advent of man. They state that; “In the beginning all was chaos and the universe was soundless and darkness prevailed over all.” Their principal symbol was the Sun as the monotheorder. istic is or collective symbol of the Creator. Their religion was monotheistic. They acknowledged only One Supreme which they worshiped through a collective symbol, the Sun. The Supreme, the Creator was given many attributes each of which was symbolized. Great stress apparently was laid on the fact that these attributes were only powers of the One Supreme. They had a communistic form of government. All crops were divided according to their laws. I have found no mention whatever of money. Whether they had any or not I cannot say. Throughout work, especially in the translations, I have avoided using the word God as being the Infinite, the Deity, because the name god did not mean the Deity among this the ancients. To make this clear I will give the word god. The Origin of the Word God. In all very ancient writings one comes across the word god. It reads the god this, the god that. Generally we find a name given to the origin of the — god such as the Chaldean “the god Belmarduk,” the Egyptian “the god Thoth,” etc. The ancients did not refer to the Creator: to them He was the Supreme. Their meaning was a Cosmic Force originating with the Creator. In ancient writings we constantly come across the marriage of a god and a goddess who produce or accomplish something. The ancients knew perfectly well that to create ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA anything Two Cosmic Forces were involved. 37 This they were taught in the Sacred Inspired Writings. In were taught and shown that it was the combined action of two forces that created. As it was the combined action, or the joining together or coming in contact with each other, it was popularly symbolized as a marriage of the gods marriage of the two forces. It was probably expressed as a marriage to enable the ancient layman better to understand the phenomenon. Thus we find he was taught that the god A married the goddess B and they produced C. In the Sacred Writings we find the same phenomenon expressed in temple language. Commands in Creation. “The arrows of the Sun met the these writings they — arrows The ® of the earth.” foregoing is the form of temple writing and not form of teaching the layman. The Priesthood in turn, to make it more understandable to the layman, symbolized the forces as gods the first four gods were the Four Great Primary Forces. the — Later in the history of had left the Man the souls of man material body were added to the after they list of gods, such as the Egyptian Thoth, the god of learning. This was not out of that man place, for the ancients at his creation knew perfectly well was given Cosmic Forces, that under control of the Soul, that when the Soul left the material body it carried the Cosmic Forces with it. So the soul of man possessing Cosmic Forces was appropriately added to the list of gods. Still later on we find the word god added to the names of the Creator. The these Forces are which can find is in the Bible where the Deity is called God and Lord God. Since then it has become His most popular name.

On the west of Mexico underneath the ocean three parallels or divisions of this gas belt are shown. Another two divisions of the same belt shown coming down underneath the land.

Niven’s Account of His Find. “Since the days of the Spanish conquest the Valley of Mexico, an area some fifty miles long by fifty broad with Mexico City for its — center, has been a veritable paradise for seekers of ar- chaBological treasures. Many of the finds, including the Calender Stone, the Monolith of Tizoc and the Graven Tablets of Azcopotzalco region with their mysterious writings, are without equal in the world. My discoveries in this region of the carved Stone Tablets which are attracting so much attention in the scientific world, origi- nated as follows “During 1910 explorations after among my return to Mexico City from my the ancient ruined cities in the un- known and uninhabited portion of the State of Guerrero, began to receive periodic visits from local Indians who came with terra cotta figurines and other objects for sale.

This discovery was at once so singular and so startling that I became instantly fired with an immense desire to find more of these tablets, if more indeed were to be found. To this end, I made a systematic exploration of all the clay pits, sand pits and tepetate quarries that existed within an area of 20 square miles and my arduous labors were amply rewarded, for by December, 1923, or in less than three years, I had unearthed 975 of tions ' i !

The figure on the stone is a vignette, a symbolical figure of what has been known for a hundred thousand years as : STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY The Sacred Four. This writing 43 gives their origin and workings. These Great Sacred Four have been known by many, many names among the ancients. They have always played a prominent part in Man’s religious conceptions, and do today. Although I find over three dozen names which have been given to The Sacred Four, not a single one of these tells us what The Sacred Four are. This one does. They are the Four Great Primary Forces which emanate from The Creator. First, they evolved law and order out of chaos throughout the universe. Second, by command they became The Creator’s executive in creating all things. Third, when all was created they were given charge of the physical throughout the Universe. This clearly shows that The Origin of Forces is The Creator himself. All other forces are subsidiary and dependent on these four. Atoms generate forces; the movement of atoms depends on The Great Four. THE HIDDEN MEANINGS OF THE NUMBERS IN ENGLISH, NAGA AND MAYA. I TO NAGA MAYA I. Hun. Hun. 2. Cas. Ca. 3- Ox. 4- San. Ox.

These forces separate the two Cosmic eggs forming the body of the first man and from his parts two bodies are formed, one having the male principle, the other the female. Legend. The first man created was with the dual principle. The Creator caused sleep (death) to come over him and while in this sleep the two principles were separated and he awoke as two, one having the male and the other the female principle. This was done for the purpose and the continuing of the race of man. In the Egyptian cosmogony down to about 2000 B. C., and perhaps afterwards, there is a strong reflection of the foregoing, namely, that first man was created with the dual principle. Plato was one of the Greek philosophers who, when in Egypt, was initiated into the Egyptian Sacred Mysteries. Did he there learn about first man, and upon what he had learned did he write the funny tale about roly-polies for the benefit of the layman? The First Pair and Their Descendants: Types OF Men.

On this tablet it says: • • • • •XXX* /. 2. 3. “The Creator made one. This one became two {Fig. I.) “The two produced three {Fig. 2.)^ and "^Frorn these three all mankind descended” {Fig. 3.). This same legend with very few variations, and the variations in no way material, are found among the writings of all ancient people. Niven’s tablet No. 150 is more than 12,000 years old. Legends also persist among all ancient writings that the original pair had white skins. As the first pair of human beings had white skins, and all mankind descended from them, it should follow that all human beings today should have white skins, instead of which we find them from milk white to jet black, with all shades of brown and yellow between. At the time when Mu was submerged records say: on Mu had developed into ten distinct tribes and types of men. {Fig. 4.) What was the cause of ten different types developing from a single pair and both identi- Man cally alike? Naacal writings explain this phenomenon as follows, but whether I can translate them, so as to convey the original meanings in every minor detail is quite another thing. Words are used, and names given which apparently have died out, as I can find no counterpart of them in modern language; so that my translations may be, to some extent, inadequate, and again they may be absolutely correct in all details. I will, however, give the translations STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY as I made them many, many 49 years ago. But before I do must be appreciated that I am not speaking of present-day types and races, but those of the Earth’s First Great Civilization, and which are referred to as being on Mu when she went down. In nearly all cases the races and types of man today would be unrecognizable with those that formed the Earth’s First Great Civilization, or those who had left the Motherland as colonists. I do not know where to go to find a pure descendant of any one of the ten original tribes, except maybe on some of the Pacific Islands, and since the Europeans and Americans found them and carried to them their ideas of civilization as we now see it, these “Children of the Sun” are rapidly dying out, or are so mixing with these, to them, newcomers, that it becomes only a question of time before all of the Polynesian races will be of a mixed blood and so, it changed. One which has led to the changing of the ancient types and races to the modern ones has been interof the causes marriage. The United of one sort. and Brazil are examples Conquering and annexing countries with States intermarriages following is another. The greatest cause of was what followed the raising of the mountains. As the mountains were forced up from the bowels of the earth, most people in the area were destroyed, a few small communities and single families here and there went up with the mountains where plateaus and broad valleys were formed. Here they were marooned. Here they had to remain. The country below was made impossible for habitation. Some of these small companies survived in the mountains and multiplied. When they became so numerous that the mountain all for our present-day races and types could no longer sustain their ever increasing numbers they forced their way back to the lowlands valleys THE CHILDREN OF MU 50 which by time had again become productive and habitable. When first marooned in the mountains there were so few in a company, that close marriages, marriages of close relations, was the only possible way of surviving. this These close marriages formed a distinctive family type, and they became afterwards known as a distinctive race. The foregoing refers to present races and types, but does not tell During how came into existence. were no mountains on the original ten types development there the face of the earth, so the mountains cannot be made the their scapegoat for them. Without further theory, those wise old Naacals, They’ll tell us; “The let us ask ten tribes were developed since man came on earth. The people becoming crowded began to spread out. Some families went to far distant settlements; here they were virtually isolated from the rest of mankind. They were so few that sometimes brothers and sisters even had to marry to carry on. These close marriages gave them all a family likeness, so they became a type: time, climate, temperature and food completed the type and they became known as a tribe.” I feel that the upon, had I a foregoing translation could be improved more profound knowledge of the ancient. I’m sorry to say it but it’s the best I can do. Color of Men’s Skins. The question as to how and why men have changed the color of their skins has always been a question and still remains a question. Let us go back 25,000 or 30,000 years and see what the old Naacals thought about it: “The cause and causes which have been instrumental in causing the color of men’s skins to change are various, but the principal cause has been unbalancing between the Life Force and the elementary compounds forming the skin. This unbalancing was the result of an over or an — STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY 51 under stimulation of the glands which carry the Life Force in its secretions through the blood to the various parts of the body including the skin. Each gland controls certain parts of the body and each gland has a normal volume of the Force which it carries. The secretions of the glands are governed by the character of the food, so that food may produce either a surplus or a shortage of the Force used by a certain gland in turn the Force carried by its secretions may either underbalance or overbalance the elementary compound it is controlling, re- — form or color or both sulting in irregularities of in the elementary compound. The Life Force excites the cells to do their work. When there is an overplus of the Force the cells are unduly excited and work too fast and, on the contrary, Force to when form there is an unsufficient volume of the a balance there are irregularities. principal irregularities in man The caused by these vital un- balancings are size of body, character of the hair, color of : and sometimes change of features. The general cause of vital unbalancing is character of food, combined the skin : with temperature.” As before stated, this is the best I can do to crack this hard old Naacal nut. I may be right in all details and I may have missed some minor details, but in all essential details I feel I am about right. The foregoing is an extract from the Naacal writing The Origin of Life and What Life is one of the most wonderful writings I have ever read. hundred thousand years and more had gone on developing and perfecting these types called tribes in before her destruction came, so that, when she went down, many of these types and colors had become very distinct. Shape of head, features and family likeness and characteristics have, I think, been brought about, principally, by inbreeding. — — A Mu THE CHILDREN OF MU 52 The South Sea Islanders have had much do in forming my opinion on this subject. In each group of islands the communities are small one group of islands have not married with those of another group, but each group have kept their marriages within themselves, resulting in types. Anyone who has spent a few years among the South Sea Islanders can tell on sight to what group they belong. Before the Mountains Were Raised.— Mountains have not always formed a soft graceful sky line to the to — landscape; they are of recent origin. Many records show from 12,000 to 15,000 years ago mountains were unknown. As a matter of fact they were thrown up by the formation of the gas belts which now permeate the crust of the earth at depths of from a few miles down to about fifteen miles below the surface of the earth. They are the result of the planning out by the Great Creator for the that ultimate construction of the earth. With the gas belts, the areas of land and water the forging of were and the topography of the land. Before the gas belts were formed, wherever an old gas chamber was blown out the land above went down and was submerged. Gradually by degrees the earth was made habitable for man, and according to the natural laws of this creation, when the earth became habitable for man he appeared. From the beginning it has always been that new conditions were constantly developing and with the development suitable forms of life accompanied it. Let us travel back over the past and read the lessons that have been written in the rocks. As far back as the Lower Silurian Era we find that terrestrial life existed. At that time little or no vegetation settled shown in the rocks, but insect life appeared, a life that was armor plated to resist the great heat of this period. Eons of time afterwards we come to the Devonian Era at is STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY 53 which appears luxuriant vegetation all of a super-tropical swamp growth. During the Carbonic we find the same class of vegetation but of a slower and harder growth with reptilian life accompanying it. Durthe end of ing the Jurassic time we find the reptilian life of a differ- ent class, suitable for harder ground, but About the middle of the Cretaceous we vegetable growths with great changes. swamps. still harder still find The old swamp At the end of the growth was shown to be disappearing. Cretaceous the ground had become soft and marshy with hard ridges traversing it. At the commencement of the Tertiary this was also the class of ground, with a new form of life, mammals; the old reptilian life had died out with the destruction of the swamps. The earth was still unfit for man, being too damp, soft and miasmic. No mountains had yet appeared, and did not appear until after the last Magnetic Cataclysm. Apparently about the end of the Miocene Period, the earth had become habitable for man, but as yet there were no mountains, but vast dry cultivatable plains. The temperature had dropped to a point where hard winters were experienced. The Codex Cortesianus, an old Maya book, written about 5000 years ago from temple records, which are now in an underground cave in Yucatan, in speaking of the Mu, — country “Mu — the destruction of Mu the Motherland of land of earth hills” man, calls — rolling the plains was submerged about 12,000 years ago. The Bible relates that the waters of the “Flood” rose 26 feet and covered the mountains. In Psalms there is a reference “before the mountains were raised.” Many of the Central Asiatic tribes date their time from the raising of the Himalayas and mountains of Central Asia. The Zulus claim that they came to South Africa from the north, as their country in the north was ruined by the raising of the probably. THE CHILDREN OF MU 54 mountains. Legends say that hundreds of millions of lives were lost during the raising of the Asiatic mountains. Geological phenomena throughout the world confirm the fact that mountains are of recent origin. But the greatest exhibits of all are: the Valley of Mexico and the Andes South America. In the Valley of Mexico civilization after civilization was destroyed by cataclysmic waves of water, rolling in over the land from the Pacific Ocean, The Valley of Mexico is now 7000 feet above the level of the ocean with high mountains enclosing it on all sides. When these civilizations were destroyed, the valley was only a few feet above the ocean’s level. The last civilization to which I am referring was destroyed by a cataclysmic wave less than 12,000 years ago, as is shown on some of the writings of these people. Here in the Valley of Mexico are the remains of extremely highly civilized people of more than 50,000 years ago. Here and in Eastern Asia are to be found the oldest remains of man on earth. Remains that antedate by eons of time anything found in Babylonia, Egypt, and Yucatan over which so much fuss is being made at the present time.

Ten was the numeral symbol for the Deity, and for this reason was looked upon as being too sacred to use or mention. Thus they count two fives for ten, three fives for fifteen, — made and their so on. Teotihuacan Pyramid, Mexico. On this celebrated pyramid there are many inscriptions.

Colebrook in “Asiatic research” says: “According to Noruka, which the Vedas, the syllable AU is an ancient glossary of M refers to every Deity. “The Brahmins may reserve for their initiates an esoteric more ample than that given by Manu.” Noruka is a Brahminitical version of the Vedas. The Vedas were stolen from the Naacal writings and changed by the Brahmins to accomplish a diabolical end, and to foist the sublime thoughts on the world as their own writings. The original Vedas are Naacal — writings. The when Naacals acknowledge One Deity only; therefore, the Noruka mentions EVERY Deity, it means that there are more Deities than one. This is clearly an alteration, a Brahminitical change from the original writings. A U conveys identically the same meaning and conception as the Mysterious Writing, and Niven’s Mexican tablet No. 2379. The only difference between the two is in the form of writing.

During the thousands of years that have passed this theology, with now and then new additions, was all that was learned and taught; and then generally in Sanskrit, not Naga. With the lapse of time the reading of the Sacred Writings was forgotten. The later priesthood were incapable of comparing their present teachings with the original Sacred Teachings. The Brahminitical theology became what was intended, a wonderful breeder of superstition and awe. The people became the slaves of the priesthood. The priesthood dragged the nation down from the highest pinnacle of civilization to almost the last rung of the ladder. When their religion has been cleansed of the extravagances, superstitions and inventions, the scales will have been torn from the eyes of the people and they can and will rise again to their old magnificence.

Certain of the people raised crops on it, which were divided according to require- ments. Similar writings are not at in all Oriental countries. all How rare and are to be found far the communistic form government went with these people, I cannot say. I find no mention of money of any description in any of Niven’s 2600 tablets. These writings when put together say that after the crops are gathered in they are bulked and then divided. I find in certain of the tablets that a certain percentage went for the government and upkeep of the temples and a certain percentage for each person. If after such a distribution, there remained a surplus, it was placed in a communistic granary and kept to cover any contingencies that might arise in the future, such as short crops, famine, etc. Then the accumulated surplus was drawn upon and given out to the people so that poverty and want were unknown among them. A similar form of government was found to exist among the Incas when they were first discovered. In some of the small of Oriental states it exists today. Both in these tablets and in Oriental writings it is shown that the divisions were not everywhere alike. In the Naga countries, as a rule, one-sixth went for the upkeep of the government and temples. In most of the Uighur districts it was generally one-ninth for the same purposes. Nothing is known as to why these variations in divisions were made. In these tablets I find the variations run from one-sixth to one-twelfth for the government and temples. The division going to the temples is called “The Holy One’s Share.” In Oriental writings I have found it referred to as “The Lord’s where the division Field.” In an Oriental tablet in one-ninth, I have found the center THE CHILDREN OF MU 70 square with the symbol of the Creator within it is quite common it.

There is a group of 116 of these wonderful symbolic figures in Niven’s collection with no two identically alike. They are purely conventional figures and were not in any way intended to represent any form of life. They show the origin of the Primary Forces and how they move. The body is in the form of a pod or chrysalis, the ancient symbol for the home of forces and refers only to the Four Great Primary Forces. The body or pod has various lines engraved upon it. These lines are writings telling us what the figure symbolizes. Line writing is one of the oldest forms of esoteric writing, a script with a hidden meaning. The numbers used in this form of writing ran from one to ten. Ten was a numeral never written, but the glyph Lahun was used in its place. Ten was not used because it was the numeral of the Creator and it was considered sacrilegious to use it, so a substitute STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY 71 was given in its place. Numeral writing continued to be used by the priesthood down to a very late date in man’s history. It was used in Egypt down to 500 B. C. and probably still later.

On every figure in group the on the bodies of these figures mentions the Creator as the Great Primary Force governing all other forces. All of the Four Great Primary Forces are shown as His commands. The trunk is the symbol of the direction in which certain forces are moving throughout the universe. It represents both circular and elliptical movements. It also covers the movement of bodies on their axes. Every one of these figures without a single exception faces west with the trunk curling towards the east. The number of limbs found on these figures varies from none to four. They mark this line writing movements of the forces in the universe.

Among all ancient people certain birds were held sacred, with a great number of hazy legends connected with them from which nothing definite can be said. Among my researches in the Orient, I found only one STONE TABLETS FROM MEXICO VALLEY bird referred to as being sacred — the goose. On 73 a stone found the children of Mu, when emigrating, pictured as geese swimming on the water. Another prominent example is the Egyptian god, Seb, whose headcarving A I also group of bird tablets symbolizing the Creative Forces. THE CHILDREN OF MU 74 piece is a goose. In the Book of the Dead, Seb is spoken and as the goose that laid the egg out of which the earth and man were formed. Seb has an important part assigned to him in the legend called “The destruction of mankind by Ra.” Altogether it is un' of as the father of the gods, questionable that with the Egyptians Seb represented, as a symbol, the Creator. Among Creator some of the Alaskan Indians, the symbol of the is a bird. ^ he records a legend that fits in with the foregoing. Ellis says “In the Sandwich Islands there is a tradition that in the beginning there was nothing but water when a big bird descended from on high and laid an egg in the sea, the egg burst and Hawaii came forth.” I have found many bird symbols among Niven’s tablets. The writings on them show them to be symbols of the Creator.

There it stood a vast continent of land next door to the Motherland, so to speak, yet not yielding a word about the Earth’s First Great Civilization although adjoining and North America, were full of records. To think that South America contained no such records seemed to me to be inconceivable, especially when we find both Oriental records and South Sea Island legends telling us that the children of the Motherland sailed all over the world in their ships. If all over the world. South America being next door, then South America must certainly have been included and remains of the Earth’s First Great Civilization had to be found there somewhere. But there she stood with me like a piece of a jig-saw puzzle that did not fit into my checker board of Man’s First Great Civilization. I was thrown off the scent by lands.

South America, although unquestionably one of the richest archaeological fields on earth, has yet to have the first archaeological sod turned on it. Twenty-five thousand years ago, according to this map, two great streams of colonists were crossing the center of South America in boats; not flying boats, but honestto-goodness, sit-tight-on-the-water boats; boats propelled and sweep. They were going from the Motherland in the Pacific Ocean to Atlantis and points beyond, even through the Mediterranean Sea as far as Asia Minor. No scientist or archaeologist appears to have connected South America with an ancient civilization, yet a great civilization existed there before the Motherland was submerged and tens of thousands of years before those with sail ; pesky, old monkey men of around very promiscuously Europe scattered their bones to baffle and mystify future scientists. Before going into the ancient, I shall reverse the regular order of things and review what has been written about the ancient history of South America. The most prominent of these writings are about the Incas of Peru. Let us see what has been said about them because, instead of being ancient, they are only of yesterday. Peru. Peru is celebrated for her Inca civilization. The Incas were not a prehistoric people, nor can they even be classed as an ancient people. The name Inca was taken from the name of their king or ruler who was — called “The Inca.” Previous to their election of a king, Among them were Quiches from Central America who emigrated to Peru from Guatemala and settled with the people who were occupythey were a mixed people. SOUTH AMERICA ing the land, who were called 83 Aymaras. The influx of Peru was of a friendly character, just as Europeans come to the United States today and settle down among us. The Inca Empire was not prehistoric, nor can it in any way be claimed as such. It was formed by a highly civilized people who had been shut in and unknown to the outer world up to four hundred years ago when they were discovered by the Spaniards through whom this great civilization was wiped out. The Inca Empire commenced between A. D. 900 and A. D. 1000 and ended with the Spanish conquest A. D. 1532, so that the Quiches into it lasted only about 500 years. The Inca Dynasty was composed of thirteen Emperors or Incas. The name of the first and founder was Manco Camac. Traditions say he married his sister which was the law so as to preserve untainted the royal blood. As is so well known, this practice also prevailed in ancient Egypt and Mayax. The birth of Manco Camac is surrounded with various myths. One tradition or myth says he was born of the Sun. This myth intimates that the celestial orb had quite a large and interesting family in Peru. Another myth states that his mother was an unmarried woman of high family. Finding herself with child, she went and lived on one of the islands of Lake Titicaca to hide her shame until her son had reached manhood. She then came ashore with him and presented him to the people as being of divine conception, sent to be their King. The people believed her tale and elected him Inca. There British is an unpublished Peruvian manuscript in the Museum, London, written in the beginning of the named Anello Alivo, of Manco Camac who year A.D. 1631 by a Jesuit priest which states that the ancestors founded the Inca Dynasty were colonists from Central America called Quiches. The native language of Peru THE CHILDREN OF MU 84 today is called Quichua from the Quiche branch of the Mayas. Manco Camac was evidently a descendant of one of the royal family of the Motherland, for when he ascended empire title “Son The Empire of the Sun, the throne he assumed the colonial of the Sun.” Out of this came the myth was his paternal parent. The Quiche colonists from Central America found the that the celestial orb civilization of the country and with Aymaras whom who owned the much higher and (the people they settled) so advanced than their own that they adopted tained their own of the Incas it but re- language, so that the great civilization was not Quiche but Some writers have stated Peru. Where Aymaras. that the Incas invaded and took that of the they obtained this idea I cannot imagine. Both traditions and written documents state that it was a friendly colonizing similar to the European settlement of our country. Again, there were no Incas until Manco Camac was crowned before that it was the Aymaras and Quiches. When Manco Camac was crowned and called Inca both the Aymaras and Quiches adopted the name of Inca in honor of their new ruler. The fascinating part of Peruvian history, however, is ; Aymaras but of those who preceded them. Sixteen thousand years or more ago Peru not the tale of the Incas or the enjoyed a civilization as prominent as the civilization of Yucatan this was about the time Egyptian history com- — menced. There was an ancient, now prehistoric, city in Peru the ruins of which are now called Tiahuanaco on the shores of Lake Titicaca, now 13,500 feet above the level of the Pacific Ocean. This city when built was on a plain but a few feet above the level of the ocean. Since then the Andes Mountains have been raised and the city was carried up with them. There is a remarkable mono- SOUTH AMERICA lith 85 covered with symbolical figures and writing huanaco which Continent of Maya. I Mu.

That it shown by various marine it shells in the neighborhood. The mention and this city is made in an Oriental tablet with an accompanying map which I have succeeded in getting a tracing of. It will be given of this civilization hereafter. When Peru they asked the natives who built the great structures of Tiahuanaco. The answer they gave was “They were built before the sun shone in the heavens,” which means before the country became a colonial empire. The same expression is used by the Spaniards conquered : Valmiki, the Hindu sage-historian; regarding the Naga Empire, he says; “Before the sun had risen above the ho- That rizon.” Lake Titicaca were the structures around mountains were raised is not my opinion alone, for E. B. Enock, the great South American geolo- built before the gist, evidently has arrived at the same conclusion as shown in his book on Peru. If we is can judge by what oc- curred in other parts of the world where mountains were raised, it is when Andes Peru were wiped out reasonable to assume that the went up nearly all of the people of with a few survivors here and there. Probably these survivors escaped to somewhere among the headwaters of the Amazon and there fell into savagery, so that there is quite a possibility that some of the savages who now occupy the headwaters of the Amazon are the descendants of the builders of Tiahuanaco. When Lima a Charles Darwin was in Peru, 1835, he met Mr. Gill, a civil engineer, who advanced at the theory that the sterility of the country around the ruins on THE CHILDREN OF MU 86 Lake Titicaca was due to the artificial water courses (canals) which he said were made by the Incas having drawn off the surface water. The Incas did not the shores of build these water courses or canals; they were built 16,000 to 18,000 years before the time of the Incas. They were ruins when the Aymaras first came to Peru, which was long before they became Incas. The present condition of these canals confirms the fact that they were built before the mountains were raised and when Peru was a low, flat country. Instead of denuding the country of water, these canals were waterways for ships to pass through. The map referred to above — there no date on is said to be about 20,000 however. It shows for the first time the canals referred to which connect the Pacific Ocean to an inland sea which occupied the whole of what is now the Amazon Swamp. On its eastern end a strait is shown, leading out into the Atlantic Ocean. Tiahuanaco is shown close to the canal.

A Peruvian legend relates that originally there was an empire around Lake Titicaca adjoining the Incas whose people were of another race called Chancas. They came to Peru about 2000 years ago from the center of South America by way of the Amazon River and one of its branches. “They were from a country far beyond the forests,” a powerful empire whose boundaries were great mountains. These mountains surrounded the empire. They had a wonderful capital city which they called Manoa (Golden City). It would appear that this Chanca Empire was brought to its end by the Incas conquering and assimilating it. The full legend appears in notes on tains life Brazil.

Let us consult the reports of travelers and explorers in South America. Leonard V. Dalton in his book “Venezuela” says: “There are many ancient remains of the Caras in the mountains and forests along the frontier between Venezuela and Colombia. “Along the Orinoco River and throughout Guiana there are many rock inscriptions representing a very early date of picture writing. “The Carians still persist in Cacique is the One of their come down from the anGodjiros.

Cacique is a prominent word in the Cara, the Pueblo and other Indian tribes. There is a race named Guaharibo living in the most inaccessible parts of the forests of southern Venezuela that has many of the characteristics of the lost tribe of Central America, those with the misshapen heads. These people are reported to be fierce and unapproachable, the worst savages of Venethat at zuela. Brazil. —When the first settlement was made by man whole of the Amazon basin was an inland sea, a duplication of the Mediterranean. There were no mountains between the Amazon and the Pacific Ocean. The Amazon basin only became a swamp after the great island of Atlantis was submerged. To fill up the immense hole in the Atlantic Ocean caused by the sinking of Atlantis, all surrounding waters were drawn in until a level was found. Where the waters were shallow the water was drawn off and the land emerged. The waters of the Amazon Sea were shallow, the waters were drawn off to such an extent that only a huge swamp remained where once the Amazon Sea had existed. Into the great inland Amazon Sea, many rivers flowed which are now the arms and in Brazil, the feeders of the great The Caras from settlements in rivers Amazon Central America made one of their South America on one of the southern running into the Guatemalan River.

The Peruvian Legend. “The Chancas came to Peru from the central part of South America from a mighty empire hidden within a ring of mountains whose capital city was called Manoa The City of Gold. “The King of this empire had two sons and when the — king died both sons claimed the throne. Civil war resulted, first one brother gained the advantage, then the and the other brother had the advantage. At last the younger brother drove the elder with all that was left of his followers and their families into the forests. There the conquered people built boats and descended the river that runs through the forests. At its mouth they turned and went up on the big river. After many hardtide turned THE CHILDREN OF MU 90 and wanderings they arrived at Lake Titicaca, here they settled. They grew and became a great nation and called themselves Chancas.” The Chancas were conquered by the Incas and their country annexed. The time is given from their arrival at Titicaca to the time they were conquered by the Incas, but as the time is computed by generations and the years of a ships, trials generation are not given, the length of time in years cannot be given, probably about a thousand years.

Strange as it may appear to us today, the fact remains that in ancient times South America played an important part in peopling the world, for she was the road or passageway that two important lines of colonists took going from the Motherland in easterly directions. The topography of South America today is totally different from what it was 20,000 years ago, the time when droves of Carians, or Karians, and Negro colonists were leaving the Motherland to find new homes and more room upon the earth. When this exodus from the Motherland commenced we have not as yet been told, but there are various records of emigration some 35,000 years ago and others 70,000 years ago. Then South America was like the rest for up to less of the world flat and without mountains cinating part of — — SOUTH AMERICA 91 than 15,000 years back no mountains had been raised to protect man from constant destructions by cataclysms and submersions, nor could there possibly be until after the earth went into Final Magnetic Balance. What include now the Amazon Valley, which is intended to the Amazon Swamp and the Amazonian wateris was then an equally large land-locked Sea like the Mediterranean Sea today. The Amazonian Sea at its eastern end was connected with the Atlantic Ocean and at its western end with the Pacific Ocean by canals. These canals were intact up to the time the mountains were raised. There was an uninterrupted waterway between the Motherland and Atlantis, West Africa, and even as far as Asia Minor at the eastern end of the Mediterra- shed, nean.

The From its There is inscriptions at vari- ous spots show that these cities were built by Carians or Karas. The Carians came direct from the Motherland and formed settlements along the Amazonian Sea. Along the southern shore they eventually became a kingdom. For future reference I will call this the Carian Kingdom al- though there is much reason to believe that they called themselves Chancas. Whether the canals were formed before the Carian Kingdom was established or afterwards, I have found no records to say. Either this kingdom or a successor was in existence up to within 1500 years ago. Apparently as soon as their settlements were firmly established along the shores of the Amazonian Sea these Karas or Carians commenced an easterly direction. to They made extend themselves in settlements along the eastern coasts of South and Central America. Maya rec- ords state that they were along the coasts of Central America (Mayax) during the time of Queen Moo. She according to the Troano MS., 16,000 years ago. The Carians still persist along the Central American States. They are not pure-blooded, however; they have been very much mixed with Negro blood and generally are in a degraded state. The Caribbean Sea was named lived, after the Carians. SOUTH AMERICA They made settlements made their way through eastern end. lower point ently broke names from One Egypt we pied. 93 and from Atlantis the Mediterranean Sea to its There they settled in Asia Minor and on the of the Balkan Peninsula.

From learn that one of the Athenian capital cities, ancient Athens, was destroyed by earthquakes and sub- merged 1 1,500 years ago, about the same time that Atlantis was submerged. The Egyptians further tell us that ancient Athens was built 17,000 years ago. From the time of the destruction of ancient Athens, we hear nothing the Carians in history until about 1104 B.C. (The Olympiad.) Their descendants are now known Greeks. Some of First as the of their old philosophers boasted of their Carian descent. Herodotus claimed to be a Carian. Having followed the Carians to the end of their line I will return to South America and see if there are any remains to corroborate the foregoing. On the top of the Andes Mountains, 13,500 feet above the level of the Pacific Ocean on the shores of Lake Titicaca, are the ruins of a prehistoric city called Tiahuanaco. This the exact spot shown on the Tibetian map. is Among at the wonderful monolith called by archaeologists “one of the archaeological wonders of the world.” It is completely covered with inscriptions, most of which are Cara-Maya. The stone, as I have shown by its deciphering and reading in the companion book to ruins of this city there is a The Lost Continent of Mu, is about 16,000 years old. Near the ruins of this city are remains of ancient stonelined canals, thus again corroborating the Tibetian map. These canals have been the wonder of all who have seen this. them and much speculation has been indulged in as to THE CHILDREN OF MU 94 who built them and for what purpose. They are now very much out of alignment and broken up. They are up and down like the swells of the ocean. At many spots west of the ruins of the city and canals one comes across many sea shells, showing that much of was emerged when the mountains proves that once both city and canals the land west of the city went up. It also were at sea level. The remains of the ancient city of Manoa are known but have never been explored as far as I know. In the Matto Grosso district, which was a part of the Carian Empire, there is a river, the name of which is spelt Xingu but pronounced Shingu. This pronunciation appears to me as a shadow of the Motherland. In the althere was a glyph very much like our phabet of Mu letter X. It was formed by crossing the /. hieratic letter N 2. {Fig. I.) of the Motherland’s alphabet {Fig. 2.). This was diphthong pronounced Sh. In the present-day Hindu language, all words commencing with Si are pronounced She. As an example Siva is pronounced Sheva. The brown-skinned savages who occupy this region (the Matto Grosso) today call all whites Caraibas. This certainly comes out of Carib, showing that these savages know the color of the men who occupied the land before a them. The end of the South American Carian Empire was similar to many other ancient empires. Civil wars so reduced and weakened the people and country that they became a tempting morsel and an easy prey to the surrounding warlike tribes. The men were wiped out by SOUTH AMERICA 95 and the fairest of the women only were let to live and these became the slaves of their conquerors. In Peru I came across an old Chanca legend. The legend says “The Chancas did not always live around Lake Titicaca. They came from a far-off country in the center of the land (Brazil). They came from a great nation surrounded by mountains. They had a wonderful capital city built on the shores of a beautiful lake. The name of the city was Manoa, the Golden. The King died and left two sons. Each claimed the throne of his father and civil war ensued which lasted many years. Fortune first favored one brother, then the other, and so it went on until both the people and the country became exhausted. When at this low ebb, by a piece of treachery, the younger brother gained a decisive victory. He drove his elder brother with all his adherents and families into the forests and cleared the land of them. In the forests the elder brother and his followers built boats and sailed their enemies : down the stream until they came to the big river. Then they went up the big river as far as boats could be taken. Then they landed and and trials after many wanderings, arrived at the shores of Lake hardships Titicaca. they settled and appointed their leader, the Here defeated Here they called themselves Chancas, grew, multiplied and became great.” According to this legend the great war between the brother, their King. two brothers was fought “thirty generations ago.” How many years constituted a generation is not said, and the generations have to be counted back from about A. D. 1500. There are many legends in Central America about the Carians and Manoa, their Golden City, and their final destruction. They are, however, so hazy that it would be futile to repeat them. Easter Island. — It appears to me that to complete the THE CHILDREN OF MU 96 about the Carians, I shall have to include that mysterious little speck of land, Easter Island, which stands all by its lonesome out in the middle of the great Pacific Ocean and which apparently was so intimately connected with the Carians in the infinite days that are past. The tale history, such as Continent of as it appears it is, Mu. I to me of Easter Island is given in The Lost reserved the following for this to be a shadow work of a connecting link between the Easter Island statuary, the puzzle of the scientific world since the discovery of the island, and the Carians. A little colored boy asked another little colored boy, who was eating a slice of watermelon, to leave a piece of the rind for him. The boy eating answered “Dere ain’t goin’ to be no rind.” This section is on Easter Island, but like the boy eating the watermelon, I will say: “Dere ain’t going to be no : am about to refer to there was no Easter Island. What is now Easter Island was then a part of the great continent of Mu, man’s ancient Easter Island” because at the time I Motherland. By all who have made a study of the Easter Islanders and the statuary found on the opinion is island, the consensus of that the present inhabitants are not the descend- who carved the images but are inferior to them. This leaves an open and an interesting question. Who were the people who carved the Easter Island ants of the people images? And what has become of them? Hitherto no one has attempted to answer these questions. Upon what I have found in Oriental records and remains on Easter Island and Asia Minor, I am about to some enterprising archaeologist to follow up. First let us marshal what facts there are and lay them out in order and see to whom they point. The Tibetian ancient tablet map shows that in ancient times there offer a suggestion for I' : I .] Courtesy of Capt. E. A. Salisbury. Types of South Sea Islanders.

The canals referred to in South America lie directly opposite to Easter Island, then Easter point and port. A tribe of colonists left the Motherland from Port Easter and migrated east as far as Asia Minor. They were called sometimes Karas, sometimes Carians. Their remains and records are to be traced from the western shores of South America, through the Amazonian Sea, on to, and including, Asia Minor. The southeastern parts of the Motherland was the Carian country. This would have included what is now Easter Island. In the quarry at Easter Island, there ished statue 70 feet long. It in the side of a cliff. From is today an unfin- being carved in a pit formed Easter Island let us go to Baalis bek in Asia Minor. Here at Baalbek we find a stone 1200 tons in weight ready to be taken to the building for which it was intended. The method of quarrying these stones is peculiar to these two stones only, as far as I know, and I might say most unusual for instead of being brought out in the rough and tooled in the open they are cut, carved and finished in horizontal positions lying in pits out of which they have to be lifted. How did the ancients lift a 70 foot monolith out of a pit? And how did ; and transport it to the top of a hill and there set it up? These are questions for our mechanical engineers to answer, it’s beyond me. As shown, the original homes of the Carians were in the section where Easter Island now stands. The early people in Asia Minor were Carians. As the two stones mentioned are being quarried in the same identical and unusual manner, it suggests that the people who were quarrying the stones were the same. It may be argued that the Easter Island work is crude and the Baalbek they lift a 1200 ton stone out of a pit THE CHILDREN OF MU 98 work par excellence and not to be surpassed today. This is true, but some thousands of years transpired between the two carvings. The Easter Island statuary was carved before the mountains were raised, and the Baalbek work was done mountains were raised. It has always been an interesting question to be answered what became of the people who carved the Easter Island statuary? We can only judge by what we find on after the : the Island today. We find unfinished work which means sudden stoppage of the work, that was not resumed. This indicates a destruction of some sort. One of the a Easter Island tablets says that the Island was once a part of a big continent. The thought impinges itself on me that possibly during the destruction of Mu, when the land was being torn to pieces by earthquakes, great cataclysmic waves rolled in over Easter Island and drowned all the inhabitants. The Ancient Amazon Route. —Two of the most puzzling questions I’ve had to solve to be the slightest bit satisfied with my work was to tell how Negroes got to Atlantis and how Negroes got to Africa. Two facts had to be faced: Fact One, all the earth was peopled from Mu, the Motherland. Fact Two, the home of the Negro in the Motherland was at the southwest corner of Mu which is now represented by various clusters of islands called Melanesia and here today are Negroes, descendants of those who were saved when Mu was engulfed. The Tibetian tablet map answers the questions, the inhabitants of the Melanesian Islands prove it. We must first differentiate between the two typical black-skinned races of Africa. First: the black-skinned, haired Ethiopian. first settled in He is Grecian-featured, straight- Tamil who India which he called not a Negro, he the lower part of is a Minor.

The Negroes and Negroids coming from the southwest corner of Mu would skirt the coast until they came to Easter Island Point. From there they would cross over to the American canals, then through the Amazonian Sea will be seen by the Ocean. On arriving at the Atlantic they would make for the lower point of Atlantis. From this point they could go directly east and strike the shores of Africa a little north of Nigeria; or they could follow to the Atlantic Canary Islands where they would be only 70 miles from the the coast line of Atlantis as far north as the African coast. SOUTH AMERICA loi In 187S when in the Caroline Islands, the natives told me that “the people who occupied these islands when the islands were not islands but a great land, had very large boats in which they sailed all over the world and were sometimes gone for more than a year before they returned.” Valmiki, the Hindu sage-historian, writing from ancient temple records, said: “that the children of the Motherland were mighty navigators who took their ships from the eastern to the western oceans and from the southern to the northern seas in days so remote that India was only a colony and had not yet become an Empire.” It was more than 30,000 years ago that India was turned from a colony into a colonial empire. The South Sea Islanders in their native craft today often make thousand mile trips. As is shown by various documents, Atlantis had a colored population in the south. I have never come across any documents showing that any Negroes were known in Central and North America. Being in Atlantis and none being in Central and North America, the question was: how did they get into Atlantis? Subsequently the Tibetian map answered the question they came through the Amazonian Sea, therefore, never touched Central or North America. In Africa the Negroes and Negroids spread themselves out, multiplied and prospered up to the time the mountains were raised then they suffered. The Zulus have a tradition that “they did not always live in South Africa. They only came to South Africa from their home in the north when nearly all the people were destroyed by the raising of the mountains. company escaped with their lives and came to South Africa. These were the forefathers of the Zulu Nation.” — — A THE CHILDREN OF MU 102 What Turned the Amazonian —To make the answered. The Sea into a Swamp? record complete this question should be answer is: because the water was drawn by the lowering of the level of the Atlantic Ocean. This necessitates the answering of another question why was the level of the Atlantic Ocean lowered? Answer: Atlantis was submerged; this made a great hole in the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles from east to west and thousands of miles from north to south and thousands of feet deep. To fill up this hole and level off the waters again, the water had to flow in from all sides. So much was drawn in that it resulted in lowering the level of the ocean hundreds of feet. The lowering of the level out of it : of the Atlantic Ocean drained out the Mississippi Valley and the St. the Amazonian Sea, Lawrence Valley. It emerged Florida and extended the coast lines on both sides of the Atlantic, and a few other interesting little things that have escaped the notice of geologists. CHAPTER VI ATLANTIS Atlantis has enjoyed only a legendary history up to within a few years. Research and archaeological discovhowever, put her into the class that has a written history, vague it is true at present, at the same time beyond controversy. Every day something new is brought to light about Atlantis. Quite recently records have come to hand proving conclusively that Atlantis is not a myth. eries have, Atlantis was a large continent island situated in the North Atlantic Ocean with North and Central America to the west and Europe and northwest Africa to the east. Atlantis was in existence up to within a few thousand years ago. Much light has been thrown on this great and important land of past history by the indefatigable work of Schliemann, to whom is due the honor for finally clinching the fact that Atlantis did once exist. Plato 400 B. C. relates that Solon said : “Atlantis was the whole world. The most famous of all Athenian exploits was to overthrow the Island of Atlantis. This was a continent lying over center of civilization and conquered the against the Pillars of Hercules (Strait of greater in extent than Libya and Asia Gibraltar) Minor put together and was the passageway to other islands and a continent beyond of which the Mediterranean was only the harbor within the Pillars. The Empire of Atlantis reached to Egypt and to Tyrrhenia. This mighty power arrayed itself against Egypt and the Hellenes and all the countries 103 ATLANTIS 105 bordering on the Mediterranean Sea. Then did Athens bravely, for, at the peril of her own existence and when the other Hellenes had deserted her, she repelled the in- vader and of her own accord gave liberty to all the nations within the Pillars. A little while afterwards there was a great earthquake and the island itself disappeared in the sea. “Poseidon was the founder of Atlantis. A temple was erected to Poseidon. There the people gathered every fifth and sixth year and with sacrifice of bulls swore to observe the Sacred Inscriptions which were carved on the Pillars of the Temple.” Plutarch in his “Life of Solon” says; “When Solon visited Egypt (600 B. C.) Souchis, a priest of Sais, and Psenophis, a priest of Heliopolis, told him that 9000 years The Lands of the mud which before the relations of the Egyptians with the West had been interrupted because of had made the sea impassable after the destruction of Atlantis and the country beyond by cataclysms and floods.” Solon visited Egypt in 600 B. C. Atlantis sank 9000 years before. Add A. D. 2000 plus 9000 plus 600. According to record Atlantis sank 11,500 years ago, but I shall hereafter show that she did not sink to her present level this found in an old Greek record that when Atlantis disappeared there were 3000 Athenian soldiers on her, probably an army of occupation. An Egyptian papyrus states that Poseidon was the first king of Atlantis and that he was followed by a long line of Poseidons, thus forming a Poseidon Dynasty. The crown of Poseidon is shown as having three points, the numeral of the Motherland. His scepter was a trident, again showing Mu to be suzerain. The trident was the form of the Uighur scepter 20,000 years ago and later we find it as the scepter of the Khimers of Cambodia. Le for a long, long time afterwards. I THE CHILDREN OF MU io6 Plongeon found inscriptions in Yucatan stating: “The first settlers in Atlantis were a company of Mayas from Mayax,” also, “Atlantis was first torn to pieces by earthquakes and then submerged.” In this respect Atlantis’ fate was a duplication of the fate of Mu. According to Dr. Henry Schliemann of ancient Troy fame: “In the Museum at St. Petersburg, Russia, there is a papyrus roll, one of the oldest known. It was written in the reign of Pharaoh Sent of the Second Dynasty. The papyrus relates that: ‘Pharaoh Sent sent out an expedition to the west in search of traces of the Land of Atlantis from whence, 3350 years before, the ancestors of the Egyptians arrived carrying with themselves wisdom of their native land. The all of the expedition returned had found neither people nor objects which could give them a clue to the after five years with the report that they vanished land.’ “Another papyrus in the same Museum by Manetho, the Egyptian priest-historian, gives a reference of a period 13,900 years as the reign of the Sages (Kings) of Atlantis. This papyrus places the height of the civilization of of Atlantis at the very beginning of Egyptian history, ap- proximately 16,000 years ago.” The Sages referred to in this papyrus were the Kings of Atlantis. They reigned 13,900 years. Atlantis disappeared 1 1,500 years ago. Therefore, Atlantis was governed by a king 25,400 years ago, that is, Atlantis was a kingdom 25,400 years ago. Dr. Schliemann made some wonderful discoveries about Atlantis which have been published by his grandson Dr. Paul Schliemann: “When in 1873 I made the excavation of the ruins of Troy at Hissarlik and discovered in the second city the famous treasures of Priam, I found among that treasure a peculiar bronze vase of great V ase with an inscription from King Chronos of Atlantis discovered by Dr. Schliemann in Ancient Troy.

Some of these objects and the bronze were engraved in Phcenician hieroglyphics with a sentence which reads: 'From the King Chronos of Atlantis.^ One size. Within of the objects it among a peculiar owl’s “Among a the treasures of head upon Priam is a vase with it. collection of objects from Tiahuanaco, South America, in the Louvre in Paris is another vase identically the same as I found among the treasures of Priam. It is beyond the range of coincidence for two articles in such widely separated areas as South America and Troy to make two vases of the same shape, the same size, and with curious owl’s heads arranged in just the same way.” Another article from the treasures of Priam is a bird sphinx engraved: “From the King Chronos of Atlantis.” To my mind, there is no question as to what and to whom this bird sphinx refers. It shows the connection between Atlantis and Mayax. It is an ornament, probably from a piece of statuary in Mayax erected to the Queen Moo. Queen Moo’s totem was memory of macaw. This sphinx has the body of a leopard and the head of a macaw. A sphinx statue was erected in Mayax to Queen Moo’s brother husband. Prince Coh. Prince Coh’s totem was a leopard. Prince Coh’s piece of statuary was a dying leopard and is now in the National Museum, Mexico City. Dr. Henry Schliemann found an inscription on the Lion Gate, Maycarne, Crete, which relates “The Egyptians descended from Misor. Misor was the child of Thoth, the god of history. Thoth was the emigrated son of a a : priest of Atlantis, who having fallen in love with the daughter of King Chronos, escaped, and after many wanderings landed in Egypt. He built the first temple at Sais and there taught the wisdom of his native land.” This THE CHILDREN OF MU io8 up two points in history: ist, who the first people of Lower Egypt were; 2nd, Thoth was not mythical but once a living man. The Troano MS. states that the first colonists who settled on the delta of the Nile were Mayas. As the people came from Atlantis and were Mayas, it shows that at least a part of Atlantis was peopled by Mayas. Orpheus, a Greek philosopher, wrote: “In Chaldea the twin sister of Egypt, daughter of Poseidon, King of the lands beyond the sea and Libya.” Some writers have confused in this sentence “lands beyond the sea” with '‘The Lands of the West” and from this assumed that Atlantis was Mu, the Motherland. I will correct this error before proceeding further. First I will quote what the priests of Egypt told Solon “9000 years before, the relations of the Egyptians with The Land of the West had been interrupted because of the mud that had made the sea imclears : passable since the destruction of Atlantis; i. e., ‘the lands beyond the sea.’ ” In one of the Oriental temples there is long history of Atlantis written 20,000 years ago. I vTill now stop quoting old Greek and Maya and Egyptian records about Atlantis and give what no one else seems a inclined to do think is The you as —the geological tale of Atlantis which I convincing as any written records. Geological Tale of Atlantis. — I will first take one of the most inaccessible valleys in Central Asia. In this valley springs one of the headwaters of the Brahmaputra River. On a large spur from the main range of mountains there is a large secluded monastery. In this monastery there are a great number of very ancient tablets of clay. These tablets have been divided into sections, one of them being on geology and history, going back to the time before the foot of man trod the earth. They have an extended history of Atlantis with a queer map on a to Minor. Asia to Mu from Belt Gas Central Great the of course The 1 THE CHILDREN OF MU no tablet about two feet square. The map shows Atlantis with Ocean which are vastly different from today. I will quote what struck me as being remarkable: “Atlantis was not always an the contour of the lands around the Atlantic In the days that have gone, before man appeared on earth and great monsters roamed the earth and the seas were filled with monstrous forms, Atlantis was joined to both America, Europe and Africa.^ great volcanic convulsion took place and the American end was broken and a number of islands formed. Subsequently, another great volcanic convulsion took place on the other side of Atlantis. Land was submerged and a sea formed. Then Atlantis became a great island with water on all sides.” I have added this bit of very ancient history to show my readers that one never knows what he is going to bring forth when pawing among old cellar-like holes with a foot of dust covering the floor. It’s like deep-sea fishing, you never know what’s going to take your hook, it’s all a toss-up. Whatever strikes, you haul it in. So, directly your fingers find something solid in the dust, out it comes. I will now go over the geological phenomena which bear directly and indirectly on the submersion of Atlanisland. A tis. First : North Atlantic Ocean is an enormous submarine plateau the bottom or bed of the phenomenal. There is with some short ranges of submarine mountains running through it. This plateau is known as the Dolphin Ridge. The location of this plateau is between 25 degrees and 50 degrees north latitude and between 20 degrees and 50 degrees west longitude. The Azore Islands are the tops of one of the submarine mountain ranges. At different points along the boundary of this submarine plateau there 1 1 them. am using the modern names of lands and seas so that anyone can easily locate The Irish and Caribbean IT alls.

About 600 miles west and a little south from Ireland is the accompany- be found one of these walls similar to ing illustration. The bed of the ocean here drops suddenly thousands of feet. This I have designated the Irish Wall. to Another similar formation is found at the edge of the Caribbean Sea. (See map page 109.) From the Banks of Newfoundland, marked on the map, there is a southerly slope similar to the roof of a house with a very sharp pitch. The bottom of the Caribbean Sea is remarkable in itself. It looks as if in some past time there had been a long, supporting wedge under the land keeping it above water, the thick end having been towards the Atlantic Ocean; that this supporting wedge was withdrawn, allowing the land to sink below the level of the waters, leaving long broad stretches of very shallow water over the thin end of the wedge, the shore line waters today. The plateau itself the Dolphin Ridge is nearly level but in places very much broken up and jagged, — — submarine surveyors tell us, so that at spots it appears to be a confused mass of rocks jumbled together. I have yet to examine any jumbled together or disturbed strata that could not be duplicated by the falling of a flat roof of sufficient thickness and depth to fall. Fully four-fifths, if not more, of the disturbed stratifications of rocks throughout the world could not have been brought together in their present and confused state by an upheaval. No such confusion and disturbance could be accomplished except by the material falling. THE CHILDREN OF MU II2 The foregoing are well-defined points in the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, showing that at some time in some very profound volcanic workings changed the topography of the ocean’s bed. My next step will be to show the cause of these profound volcanic workings beneath the North Atlantic Ocean. The Great Central Gas Belt. On the map, page 109, I have shown The Great Central Gas Belt as it runs from Mu, the Motherland to Asia Minor. After passing under Mu in two parallels or divisions, it proceeds in an easterly direction under the Pacific Ocean until it reaches Yucatan and Central America. Both divisions split up into parallels before passing under America. The Northern passes under Yucatan, the Southern under Guatemala and Honduras. From America they pass out under the West India Islands. Here the parallels close in together again and form two trunk lines. The Northern division passes under the Atlantic Ocean to the Azores. There it splits into several parallels. Leaving the Azores these parallels pass on and enter Europe under Spain and earth’s history — Portugal. From the West India Islands the Southern di- vision proceeds under the Atlantic until Canary it reaches the and enters Africa near Morocco, forming the Atlas Mountains. The two divisions of the Great Central Belt were not forged at the same time, the Southern was formed later than the Northern. Neither are they at the same depth from the surface of the earth. The Southern is thousands of feet further down in the bowels of the earth and possibly miles. This difference in their depth is confirmed Islands, here it splits into parallels by the fact that when Atlantis was first submerged she only went down deep enough to be awash at low tide so that at low tide mud banks appeared with masses of seaweed which made the Northern Atlantic Ocean impass- ATLANTIS able to shipping.

It ships could again cross the Atlantic. some respects in a similar position to Mu, both lands were being upheld above water by isolated gas chambers, both lay over the pathway of a forming belt. In both cases the isolated chambers were tapped by the forming belt and blown out, in both cases the land went down and was submerged, and, strange to say, the same belt was the double assassin. From the fact that this great belt was formed where it is and the land above submerged we gather that there must Atlantis was in have been a great depth of rock, free of chambers, between the chambers which helped to form the belt, and the isolated chambers which were upholding Atlantis and the Land of Mu. Had chambers existed between the belt chambers and the isolated ones above, these continental lands would have been submerged thousands of years before. Had no isolated chambers been upholding Mu and Atlantis, there would have been a sufficient thickness of rock over the belt to have formed retaining angles when the gases escaped after uplifting the land. Then these continents would not have been submerged; instead, mountain ranges would have been raised upon them. From a geological standpoint there is no date shown went down the Great Central Gas Belt was formed under the North Atlantic Ocean. But what geology lacks, history provides and shows us that Atlantis first went down to awash 9500 B. C. and subsequently to where she lies today, Atlantis was a large continent and ultimately went down thousands of feet below the surface of the water. By her sinking an equally big hole was made in the waters in the when when Atlantis was submerged except that it 114 THE CHILDREN OF MU North Atlantic. The surrounding waters flowed in to fill up this hole, which drew off the waters from surrounding shores and from all shallow parts because a nemo lower level to the ocean was formed. Somewhere about this time in the earth’s history the Appalachian-Iceland-Scandinavian Belt was formed. This belt commences in the Eastern Southern States, runs up through Labrador in Canada, from Labrador it passes under the Ocean to Greenland, Greenland to Iceland, and Iceland to Northern Europe, then to the Ural Mountains. This belt has an immense number of ramifications. The main belt is shown on the map as a broken line. Before this belt was formed there was no break in the land between America and Europe. They were connected by the submerged land shown in a shading and marked A, B and C. This land is geologically known as “The Overland Route to Europe.” During the forging of this belt this land bridge was broken up and parts of it submerged. center of the The submergence of Atlantis and the “Overland Route” by extension, the coast lines of Eastern America, Western Europe and Northwest Africa. The extension of these coast lines was due to the lowering of the level of the Atlantic Ocean, by taking the water to fill in the abysses made by the sinking of Atlantis and the Overland Route. Not only were the shore lines extended, but where the water was shallow it was drawn off and the land emerged. Does geology confirm this statement? It certainly does and as prominent examples I will call attention to; affected, The elimination of the Amazonian Sea. The drying out of the Mississippi Valley. The drying out of the St. Lawrence Valley. The emerging of Florida, and The general extension of the Atlantic Coast Line of North America.

Poor old geology, it has ever been guilty of putting the cart before the horse. Geology is all right but only hitched up the wrong way. Geology records “a general rise of the Atlantic Coast I Line of North America during earth’s history, also similar of period in the a recent phenomena on the West Coast North America.” Geologists have apparently based these opinions on the many marine beaches found inland Eastern North America. These have been geologically called Champlain beaches. In Europe similar phenomena in are found.

The Canary Islands. The Canary Islands lie over the Southern Atlantic division of the Great Central Gas Belt. They are situated off the northwest corner of Africa and distant from 60 to 120 miles. They are directly opin the — — where the belt goes in under Africa Morocco. The Canary Islands are of exceedingly great interest when looked upon from a volcanic standpoint. There are many volcanic craters on them, both ancient and modern. By ancient, I mean they existed before the gas belts were formed and never had any connection with a gas belt. posite •/tpwnr huvvvQ, 9i/n ATLANTIS Some these of ancient 117 point craters The volcano submersion of Atlantis. directly best to the known on Canary Islands is the Peak of Teneriffe whose snow-capped head pierces the blue sky at an elevation of 12,000 feet.

I ever having been in eruption. of the can find no La Palma between 50 and 60 miles northwest of Teneriffe. The crater on this island is called “the Grand Caldera.” This crater is unquestionably an ancient one and has never been connected with any gas belt. It is the largest crater that I know of. Its diameter exceeds anything that is found among Pacific Islands. Ancient Kilauea, the monster on the Hawaiian Islands, measures three miles across its mouth while the mouth of the Grand Caldera is between four and five miles across. The crater has a depth of between 6500 and 7000 feet. An examination of its sides Island lies was not of its present depth and the evidences tend to show that the drop from its original depth was not of a sudden character but took the form of a gradual subsidence. Personally, I believe that when the gases were exhausted and the sides fell together to seal it, the seal was loosely packed. Then time and subsequent earthquake shocks gradually packed and sank the surface to a lower level. Being an ancient crater, one which was formed by the escaping gases from a gas chamber when overcompressed, it is, to my mind, one of the craters that helped to empty out the gases from under discloses the fact that originally it THE CHILDREN OF MU ii8 Atlantis and then submerge her, that the Island of Palma was once The natives of La a part of Atlantis.

The Azore Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean lie directly west of Spain and Portugal. The Northern division of the Great Central Gas Belt passes directly underneath them. As a matter of fact, the gas belt was the agent which emerged them. They are the tops of a submarine range of mountains that were raised above the water level. When Atlantis went down on the blow-out of the first gas chamber, this land was submerged. When the gas belt formed it raised this stretch of land into mountains, sending their tops above water level. There is only one thing showing on the Azores that might , ATLANTIS 119 them with Atlantis: The Cavern Furna possibly connect de Furnao Forge.

What I have shown, however, seems to me that geology shows the one-time existence of Atlantis. CHAPTER VII WESTERN EUROPE The Norsemen.— Man first trod the soil of Europe in was before the “Overland Route” was wrecked, before the British Isles were separated from the continent and before a settlement was made on Atlantis. That part of Europe which now forms the Scandinavian countries had a settlement made from Central America at least 50,000 years ago. Did any of the descendants survive the Great Magnetic Cataclysm? That the northwestern part and that I cannot say. The men on European soil were Quetzals from Central America headed by their King Quetzal who had been driven out of his own country by invaders who were later to become the forefathers of our present-day Latin races. “Some escaped in their ships, others fled to the forests and were never heard of again. Those who took their ships sailed away to a far-off country in the direction of the rising sun. They prospered in their new country and became great.” Such is the Central American tradition. They apparently followed the coast line until they came to Scandinavia where they settled. Unquestionably the spot where they landed is now under the sea. Some years ago remains of an exceedingly ancient race were discovered in Scandinavia. The discoverers claimed that they were the oldest people in Europe while the orthodox scientists, in holy horror, maintained that the first people in Europe appeared on the Caucasian Plains, first to settle 120 WESTERN EUROPE I2I Asia Minor, coming from somewhere in Central Asia. As I recollect, the controversy ended in a draw, “no decision.” However, it led to the formation of two cults. The Northern cult based its decision on remains which had been found, therefore facts. The Asiatic cult based its claims on poorly built-up theories. As a matter of fact, as will hereafter be shown, the remains or traces of what was found in Asia Minor (Caucasian Plains) date in the Pleistocene Period after the mountains had been raised. What was found in Norway dates tens of thousands of years before the mountains were raised. As well as I can recall the Northern scientists said the people were called Givetz or Givetzies. This I am not sure about. seems strange and even amusing to see how Asia has always been made the scapegoat for all scientific problems that could not be solved. Within the last 50 years so much has been learned about the central parts of Asia that it has almost ceased to become available as the Scientific Scapegoat. The scientific trend is now towards Africa, the It Dark Continent. seems reasonable to believe that the Northern European find is a discovery of some of the ancient Quetzal remains. The Central American tradition says that the Quetzals “had milk white skins, blue eyes and light, It flaxen hair,” the characteristics of the Scandinavians today. We have still some of the descendants of the Quetzals here America. Their villages are far back in the almost impenetrable forests of Honduras and Guatemala. My best Quetzal legends come from them, obtained through a friend who spent several weeks in one of their villages. Their traditions go back to the time the mountains were in raised. Norway there is today an ancient language Quanlan. From a piece of Quanlan writing which In called I have THE CHILDREN OF MU 122 examined, I find quite a number of words from the original language of Mu other words which have their roots in words from the language of Mu. But what is most ; numerous words in the Quanlan language are identical with words found in one of the Southern Indian tongues and conveying identically the same astonishing is that meanings. It does not take a strong Quanlan in Norway imagination to connect with Quetzal Land in Central America. No possible date can be given to the arrival of the Quetzals in Northwestern Europe except that it was before either Atlantis or Southwestern and Southern Europe commenced to be settled, for all of these three regions were first settled by the people who came to America and drove the Quetzals out. It was a long time after they drove the Quetzals out before they could commence colonizing Atlantis and Europe. The Uighurs in Europe. —The Uighur Empire was empire embodying the whole of Central Asia from the Pacific Ocean to the Ural Mountains with colonies and outposts throughout the central parts of Europe. Only the Atlantic Ocean stopped them from pushing on farther. There were two migrations of the Uighurs into Europe. The people of the first migration were pretty generally wiped out by the Great Magnetic Cataclysm and subsequent mountain raising. They were not entirely wiped out as three small communities or families were saved. a great colonial The descendants of these today are the Bretons of France, the Basques of Spain and the “ginuine Oirish.” They are : all linguistically related. Some few years ago a New York contractor undertook some work in Cuba. It was stipulated that local labor should be employed but that supervisors could be brought WESTERN EUROPE 123 by the contractor. The contractor accordingly took down his Irish foreman upon whom he could depend. When the party arrived in Cuba they found a group of Basques awaiting them to be used as day laborers. The contractor looked them over; turning to the foreman, he said, “I’ll have to get an interpreter. Stay here until I return.” Coming back in an hour with an interpreter, he was amused to find his Irish foreman squat in the midst of the Basques enjoying rich jokes. “Send away your interpreter,” said Pat. “These people and I spake the same languidge, Gaelic.” A similar story comes from India. Some British soldiers were passing near Nepal on the borders of Tibet, with them an Irish drill-sergeant. Passing through one of the villages the sergeant halted, cocked his ear, then broke ranks and went over to a bunch of squatting natives, exclaiming, “Begorrah! These little divils are talking in me own languidge!” The New York Times August 18, 1929, carried a news item from Leningrad in which it is stated that Professor N. Marr, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, asserts “that the Irish and Armenians are racial cousins and links them with the Scythians who were among the toughest fighters of Sunday, known to antiquity.” ther states that these Asiatic people He do not include the present inhabitants of Ireland, but only those fur- all of who are descended from the earliest known dwellers in the Island. After the Magnetic Cataclysm, the Biblical “Flood” and the subsequent mountain raising, small companies of Uighurs, called Aryans today, drifted into Eastern Europe from the mountains of Central and Western Asia. This has been noted by Max Muller in his writings. They were descendants of those mountain raising in who had survived the flood and the Asia and Europe. There are Oriental 124 THE CHILDREN OF MU records which speak of both the and second migrations of Uighurs into Europe. The first entered Europe during the Pliocene, before the mountains were raised. The second migration took place during the Pleistocene and after the mountain raising, many thousands of years after the first migration. A few remains of the first Uighurs have been found. Probably the most important is the one found a short time ago in what is now Moravia. Here a community had been buried through the flood and mountain raising. The ruins of the entire settlement were found below the foothills of the mountain. France and Southern Europe. I have no written records or inscriptions to fall back upon regarding the early settlements in Southern and Southwestern Europe. All I can do is to call attention to facts and let each of my readers build up his own theory. The race which first comes into prominence has been called the Cro-Magnons. There are many and various proofs that the Cro-Magnons were not the first people in this part of Europe but were, comparatively speaking, Jate-comers. In the first case we find their remains in elevated and mountainous regions, showing that their existence in Europe commenced after the mountains were raised. Then we find bones of man and remains of his works in the gravel beds formed by the waters of the Last Magnetic Cataclysm. This Cataclysm occurred before the mountains had gone up. Therefore, the bones of those men which are found in the gravel beds lived ages before the Cro-Magnons. That man was living in this section of the earth in a high state of civilization thousands upon thousands of years before the mountains were raised, is shown in the road cut. Capital Hill, Smyrna, Asia Minor (noted in my next chapter). As these remains show a high civilization at one end of the Mediterranean Sea many thoufirst — WESTERN EUROPE sands of years before the 125 Cro-Magnon man other end of the Mediterranean Sea, it is lived at the reasonable to suppose that the other shores of the sea were also peopled by highly civilized races at the same time as Asia Minor. There is no question but that the western parts of Europe were colonized and recolonized over and over again as has been the case in all other parts of the earth. The remains man Europe are limited because the mountains of ice which were brought down on the waters of the Last Magnetic Cataclysm ground everything to a pulp, leaving but few traces of life behind. This was so in Eastern North America where only one solitary of ancient in evidence of man’s remains has been found, and that Gilder’s Den Men the scientists build of Nebraska. In Europe, as elsewhere, many of their theories on the character of the flint instruments they this I showed in is have found. The result of The Lost Continent of Mu in the chapter on “The Origin of Savagery.” These crude tools, flint and stone, are evidence of the stop-gaps between the civiliza- gone and the civilization we are now entering upon. In Osborn’s fascinating book Men of the Old Stone Age, page 477, we read: “A buried nest of skulls from the large grotto of Ofuet, all facing westward.” These skulls were placed looking west, that being the direction of Mu, the Motherland, from whence they or their forefathers came via the Western route. Full description of the Eastern and Western routes will be given in the chapter on Egypt. In the Orient and on all of the western side of tion that has the Pacific Ocean all objects are made to face east, that having been the direction of the Motherland from Asia. This is very prominently shown by the statuary, gates, faces of temples and roadways at Angkor, Cambodia. As I have repeatedly shown in The Lost Continent of Mu, the history of man on earth has been one continuous THE CHILDREN OF MU 126 series of destruction. Race after race people have been blotted out races and civilizations all and people after over the earth. were unknown to present Many man until came across their remains. The oldest reEgypt are but of yesterday in the history of man, archaeologists mains of the oldest relics of Yucatan go but a day farther back, in Mexico go but and the oldest of Niven’s buried cities another day beyond that. When shall we come across the remains of very early man? In some of the Himalayan monasteries, writings of 70,000 years ago are to be seen. Some of these date man back 200,000 years or 270,000 do not know which. It is a problem for the scientists of heavenly bodies to determine. The dates are given by the positions of stars, one to the other. These writings, however, tell us about man from his very beginning. The Bison. One of the principal animals painted by the old French artists, and unquestionably their most prominent animal, was the true bison. While the bison is the most prominent animal among the French paintings, I am informed that not a single drawing of the bison has ever been found among the American cliff paintings. years, I — Among the American cliff paintings we find the bear, mastodon and even the great reptiles, but never a bison. In view of this fact, I am induced to offer a suggestion as to the origin of the bison and I beg further to say that it must be considered as a suggestion only. There is not a single fact to back such a theory. deer, ibex, unknown history, for although now as an American animal, it did not always exist here nor is there any idea when it made its first appearance upon the American stage of animal life. Bison are said The known bison has an Europe. No doubt they did, otherwise where would the old French artists have got their models to have lived in WESTERN EUROPE 127 from which they have depicted the animal Buffalo are said to have lived in Europe. did, their remains prove it, so faithfully? No doubt they but was the variety called bison indigenous there? This is questionable. That the was in Europe the French paintings prove, but whether it was native or imported is another question. My personal opinion is that the bison may have been imported into Europe and also that they were imported into America, and I further think that they were imported into Europe before America. Now comes the vital question: who could have brought them to Europe? To answer this we must first ask where the old French artists originally came from. Like the bison, they did not originate in Europe. Various records show that the southwestern parts of France, Spain and Portugal were colonized from Atlantis. As the bison is not found in any of the galleries of the cliff painters of America, it is good evidence that the bison had not yet appeared in the western and southwestern parts of America. The natural inference, therefore, is that the bison was brought to America from Atlantis and the French artists, when they migrated from Atlantis to France, took some bison along with them. true bison Was the bison a native of Atlantis? Was the bison taken from Atlantis to France? Was the bison brought from Atlantis to America? These are questions to be determined in the minds of my readers. I am supplying a few facts only. The bison is not a native of America and, therefore, must have come from somewhere and subsequent to the time when the old American artists were decorating the stones in the canyons of our West and Southwest. The bison must have made its appearance in America subsequent to the last Magnetic Cataclysm, otherwise the waters and ice of THE CHILDREN OF MU 128 would have wiped them all out as the Den Men of Nebraska were wiped out. Our scientists have always supposed that the bison came to America from Asia, via that much abused and overcrowded strip of land known as the “Bering Land Bridge.” What a godsend that old strip of land has been to modern scientists, for whenever they that flood have got into a hole, they have always got out of it by laying the whole of the blame to this poor old bridge. It has certainly bridged them over many embarrassing positions. Some time ago a scientific furore started on the news that the horns of an ancient bison had been found in Asia. The excitement of scientific minds was at the breaking point. Then it was discovered that the horns in question were those of a musk-ox. That the bison did not come to America from Asia is self-evident because no remains of the bison have ever been found in Asia even among the bone islands of the Arctic Ocean (Llakoff’s Islands). The great southern wave of the Last Magnetic Cataclysm rolled up over the plains of Mongolia and Siberia, gathering up myriads of forest animals and de- them in the Arctic Ocean off the mouth of the River Lena. There their bones are found today but not positing bone among the lot. Not so very many moons ago the a bison world was wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement by a celebrated scientist reporting that he had found a bison horn in a cretaceous deposit. Volumes were at once started about the age of this bison. Where it would have ended no one scientific Fortunately for the public, a short time after the discovery of the bison horn a thorough search was made to find more of the departed beast. Close to where can tell. was found, the skull and neck armor of triceratops was brought to the surface but it had one the bison horn a horn missing. On putting the fractured end of the bison WESTERN EUROPE 129 horn on the fractured end in the skull, it was found to fit exactly. The excitement died out and science went on, looking for another surprise. This relieved the public of a whole library of theories. 2— ^ M^ o a 3 cd r^ «-> S i "g c tS cd cd a ^ oj ^ c 2 ^ cd < <o 'Si _s bC (fi C cd o -o o o c +J ii> W’4 * s O g £ a M-O § S o r K o >W V. f~r *<•» o) - .^2 *2 ^ i-t , ^1 ) u CO £ "3 ^ o 3 <« s a> >n *- ^ G ~a SH o a °C Sm a u jiu ^ a -G |> G o g T3 4: .

Some fragments of Greek history have come to light, dating back as far as from twelve to fifteen thousand years ago, showing that the Greeks then, under the name of Athenians, were a highly civilized, enlightened people. What formed nations that have survived the gulf between 12,000 years and 30,000 years ago will be my endeavor The to show. first actual, recorded Grecian history commences with the beginning of the first Olympiad, 1104 B. C. The Greeks under their ancient names, however, had passed through tens of thousands of years of trials and tribulations before the first Olympiad. Their first settlements were made in Asia Minor, the Balkan Peninsula and adjacent islands if there were any at that time. Various remains, traditions and geological phenomena confirm this. Much has been written about the legendary or ancient history of the Greeks. Many writers have declared these legends to be myths, but where archaeological remains confirm the legends, myths. It seems to it is impossible to look upon them as me unquestionable that the builders of the great structures at Baalbek were ancient Greeks, some of the present Greeks. In Asia the same conditions as in Mexico, Central the forefathers of Minor I find — THE CHILDREN OF MU 132 America and many other parts of the earth historic cities lie buried one in nearly all cases, cataclysms.

C. I translated Timeus as by Benjamin Jowett, M.A., Oxford, Engwill first take extracts from Plato’s land. “Now the citizens of Egypt) are great lovers of the Athenians and say that in some way they are related to this city (Sais in them} “ ‘O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children and there never is an old man who is a Hellene.’ Solon hearing this said, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean to say,’ he replied, "that in your minds you are all young.

Both the Greeks and Egyptians were together in the Motherland, they were together in Mayax, and again in Atlantis from which the Greeks went to Asia Minor and the Egyptians to Sais in Lower Egypt. They were the same people who drove the Quetzals out of America and took their land. 2 This is decidedly confirmed by both geological and archaeological phenomena throughout the world. ® This is a poor piece of translation. A better one would read: made at the time and preserved in our temples.” “A record was THE GREEKS Whereas you and other And letters.^ 133 nations are just provided with then at the usual period the stream from heaven descends like a pestilence and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education.^ And thus you have to begin all over again as children and know nothing of what happened in ancient times either among among yourselves.’ ” The term “the stream from heaven” does not convey the meaning. Some old Cara-Maya language is used. The us or meaning was by the will of heaven. A stream is not definite. It might be a stream of anything whereas by taking the whole interview, it is definitely shown to be a flood or a cataclysm of water. Cataclysms and floods are spoken of many times in the old Egyptian writings. There was no usual time for these appearing. In fact, they were most unusual, being dependent on the blowing out of a gas chamber, or the forging of a gas belt under the ocean, or a block in a belt under the ocean. Most to be conveyed is : the waters, not stream, of the ancient nations kept in their temples perishable records —writings on The im- either stone or burnt clay know Tibet and some were written, according to the astrological dates on them, 70,000 years ago. There are hundreds in India dating back 35,000 years and some are even older but without a date. tablets like bricks. But oldest I to turn to Plato again: of yours “As of is in for these genealogies which you have recounted to us, they are better than tales of children; for in the first place, remember one deluge of them.

And this was not known to you because for many generations the survivors of that destruction • Sign, made no // The people here spoken of were forefathers of those who These temples were never finished. They were shaken down by earthquakes and volcanic workings around them during their construction. “Made no sign.” I do not translate it this way from the Greek text. My personal translation reads: “Kept no records.” All of the older Greek works are permeated by the Cara-Maya language and unless the translator knows the Cara-Maya he is at a disadvantage. Although the changes in vocabulary and alphabet were made during the archonship of Euclydes, the old philosophies only went about half way in the changes that were made. The Greek vocabulary was three times changed to modernize it. Plato again: “ ‘For there was a time, Solon, before the great deluge of all when the city which is now Athens was first in war and was preeminent for the excellence of her laws.’ Solon marveled at this and earnestly requested the priest to inform him exactly and in order about these former Athenians. ‘You are welcome to hear about them, Solon,’ said the priest, ‘both for your own sake and for the sake of the great city, and above all for the goddess who is the common patron, protector and educator of both our cities. She founded your city (Ancient Athens) about 1000 years before ours (Sais), receiving from the earth ” and Hephaestus the seed of your race.’ This is purely symbolical. The priest fell back on his mother tongue and the mother tongue of Solon, f started to build the magnificent temples at Baalbek. j This symbol brings it down to popular language.

There are many records stating that Asia Minor, the Lower Balkans and Egypt were first colonized through Mayax and Atlantis. According to the temple records of Sais, a city existed on the spot which Athens occupied 11,500 years ago and which was built 17,000 years ago a thousand years before the history of Lower Egypt commenced. The priest then goes on to relate the war between the Athenians and Atlantis which I gave in the chapter on Atlantis, all except the ending which was retained for — this “ chapter: ‘But afterwards (after the defeat of the Atlantians by the Athenians) floods there occurred violent earthquakes and should read violent earthquakes and cata- (this clysms) and in a single day and night men sank your warlike shows the fate of all body into the earth (this Ancient Athens which had not been given before; the land sank, was submerged, carrying most of the people down with it) and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared and was sunk beneath this sea (this confirms the fact that Ancient Athens was submerged and now we come to an exceedingly interesting geological fact, a fact which shows that Atlantis twice sank) And that is the in a . reason there why is the sea in those parts is such a quantity of shallow impassable because mud and this was caused by the submersion of the island.’ ” According was not long ago that Atlantis lay awash.

The Greeks — Hill, Egyptians are fully qualified to claim that “they descended from the oldest men on earth.” As far as can be traced, the original Greeks came from Central America via Atlantis and made their first settlements in Asia Minor, the lower part of the Balkans, and on what islands there were then of the Grecian Archipelago. like the In Central America I find them called Kars, Karas, Caras, and Carians. the Maya tongue. Some They spoke of their their own American dialect of settlements were within the boundaries of the Mayax Empire. They, however, extended themselves far south on both the Eastern and Western Coasts of South America. The first knowledge of the Carians and their colonies is found in old Maya records where I find the following settlements spoken of along the shores of the Caribbean Sea, on some of the West Indian Islands, and three settlements on the East Coast of South America. One record dates back beyond 16,000 years; how far back beyond this date, I am not prepared to say. : THE GREEKS From Central America 137 next pick them up in Asia I Minor, the Balkan Peninsula and adjacent islands. The Greek legendary history says that their first settlements were along the Mediterranean shores of Asia Minor. The Carians are as bad as the Irish, they never would stay put. As an example, Gaelic, the Irish tongue, is spoken in Tipperary, Ireland, the Basque Province of Spain, and in Nepal, the northern part of India. Take a native of Nepal, a Basque and a genuine Irishman, set them down together and they will jabber away as if they were all born in the same village and brought up together. M.

The most pronounced of the ancient Greek patterns and even many of their patterns today are identical with the traceries and patterns of the CaraMayas of Central America and Yucatar.

Language is one of the great connecting links between various peoples and is more to be depended on than any other form of evidence except written records. The old Greek language was pure Cara-Maya and today has more Maya words in it than any modern language except Cingalese. The Greek alphabet today is pure Cara-Maya.

This revision of the Greek alphabet was made during the archonship of Euclydes, 403 B. C. Comparing the revision with the old, the principal changes apparently con- changing initial letters such as: Gamma was Kamma, Delta was Telta, Rho was Laho, and Sigma was Zigma. It is possible these changes were made to conform with the general pronunciation of the words, as some are attempting to do today with the English language which badly needs such a revision. More extensive changes were made in the vocabulary itself. Some phenomena in Asia Minor show that this region was inhabited at a very early date by highly civilized peoples, tens of thousands of years before history began to be recorded as we have it. Who were they? Where did sisted in come from? What has become of them? Remains Troy, Baalbek, Ephesus and Smyrna show remains they at of A good popular description of the ancient remains at Smyrna is to be found in Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad, commencing at page 131: “Riding through the town we could see the marks of the Six Smyrnas (corresponds with the Six ancient Troys) that have existed and have either been burned up by fire or knocked down by earthquakes.

Excavations expose great blocks of buildings that have been buried for ages. “The ascent of the hill to the citadel is very steep. In one place 500 feet above the sea, the perpendicular bank on the upper side of the road was 10 to 15 feet high and the cut exposed three veins of oyster shells.

That three overwhelming cataclysms occurred, wiping out three great civilizations before the mountains were raised in Asia Minor. That a long time elapsed between cataclysms is shown by the fact that there was a sufficient time to recolonize and build up the devastated areas. That the remains now being found 500 feet above the sea with the strata conforming to those of the mountains whose side they are on, demonstrates beyond all controversy that these civilizations existed before the mountains were raised. The mountains were raised during the Pleistocene. Therefore, these civilizations are pre-Pleistocene, dating back into the Tertiary Era. It is among quite remarkable that in all of my research work ancient records I have found only two references to cataclysms in Europe and Asia Minor — an Egyptian and the Bible. Plato’s reference cannot be considered purely Greek as it came from Egypt through Solon. Yet records of floods and traditions of floods and cataclysms are prolific all over the world and among all peoples. Geological phenomena confirm all these records and traditions in all parts of the earth. Baalbek. —The ruins of Baalbek lie to the northeast of Beirut between the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern end of the Syrian Desert. The ruins of Baalbek are the most majestic and the most notable of the earth’s ancient structures. They have caused more speculation among scientists generally and archaeologists in par- r’ i t'.'. \ y'. . The Great Pillars at Baalbek. THE GREEKS 143 any other group of ruins on earth, for it is generally conceded that there never has been found a single vestige of information intimating or showing when, or by what people, they were erected. I have several descriptions of these ruins before me. The one of all others which seems to me would appeal to the layman as strongly as to the scientist is Mark Twain’s and, as this book is written for the people, Mark Twain’s description is the one I shall select to use. There is no reason why the scientist should not read this book. He can if he likes, but it contains a big bagful of hard nuts for him to crack. “At eleven o’clock our eyes fell upon the walls and colticular than umns of Baalbek, a notable ruin, whose history is a sealed book.

They look strange enough in such plebeian company. These temples are built upon massive sub-structures that might support a world almost. The material used is blocks of stone as large as an omnibus, very few of them are smaller than a carpenter’s tool chest. These structures are traversed by tunnels of masonry through which a train of cars might pass. With such foundations as these it is little wonder that Baalbek has lasted so long. “The Temple feet wide. It Sun is nearly 300 feet long and 160 has 54 columns around it, but only six are of the THE CHILDREN OF MU 144 standing now, the others broken at its base, a confused and picturesque mass. Corinthian capitals and entablatures, and six more shapely columns do not exist. These columns and their entablatures together are 90 feet high, lie a prodigious altitude for shafts of stone to reach, and yet one only thinks of their beauty and symmetry when looking at them. The pillars look slender and delicate, the entablature with its elaborate sculpture looks like rich stucco work, but when you have gazed aloft until your eyes are weary you glance at the great fragments of pillars among which you are now standing and find that they are 8 feet through, and with them lie beautiful capitals apparently as large as a small cottage and also single slabs of stone superbly sculptured that are four or five feet thick and would completely cover the floor of any ordinary parlor. ‘‘The Temple of Jupiter is a smaller ruin than the one I have just been speaking of, and yet it is immense. It is in a tolerable state of preservation. One of nine columns stands almost uninjured. They are 65 feet high and support a sort of a porch or roof. This porch roof is composed of tremendous slabs of stone which are so finely sculptured on the undersides that the work looks like fresco from below. One or two of the slabs had fallen and again I wondered if the gigantic masses of carved stone that lay around me were no larger than those above my head. Within the Temple the ornamentation was elaborate and colossal. What a wonder of architectural beauty and grandeur this edifice must have been when it was new and what a noble picture it, and its stellar companion with the chaos of mighty fragments scattered around them, made in the moonlight. “And compared with the rough-hewn stones that form the wide verandah or platform which surrounds the great temple. yet these sculptured blocks are trifles in size : THE GREEKS One stretch of that platform 145 composed of three stones is They are 13 feet square, two of them are each 64 feet, and a third 69 feet, long.

It was a quarter of a mile off, downhill. In the pit lay the mate of the largest stone of the ruins.

Its mate already forms a part of the platform of the outside of the temple. The last three columns of the Temple of the Sun that fell, fell during the earthquake of 1759. In Wonders of the Past, Vol. i, pages 1 29-1 30, Richard Curie says “The buildings we see are mainly Roman dating from the era of Antoninus Pius 86-161 A. D. “They were quarried about half a mile away, and lying quarry is an even larger stone 68 feet by 14 feet which may simply have proved too titanic to shift into still in the position.” A wilder or more erroneous statement than the foregoing is hard to conceive. Neither Roman, Greek nor Egyptian history speaks of the building of Baalbek, yet all these nations were faithfully recording all happenings and principal events and works at the time Curie mentions. The Greeks especially, a few hundred miles off only, had been recording minutely history and works, buildings, etc., for 1200 to 1300 years before Curie says these struc- THE CHILDREN OF MU 146 were being erected, but not a word is to be found about it in Greek history. To think that they could not move the stone which is now in the pit, as they did its mate before, is more than childish, and further to show Curie’s tures Ignorance of the subject, the architecture is not Roman nor did the Romans build temples to the Sun. Authorities on architecture and everything else say that some of the pillars which are Egypt. They may be Egypt came from right, but why is the central part of there no record in of such a prodigious transportation, in either The of marble Roman Greek or why no record histories? great stone in the quarry demonstrates beyond all question two things : first, that the structures at Baalbek were never completed, and second, there was a sudden ending to the work. Unfinished or incompleted work signifies a sudden ending to workmen or circumstances which made further work impossible. It is self-evident there was a sudden ending to the work at Baalbek. What was it? On looking at the monolith in the Baalhek quarry, one is vividly reminded of the great unfinished monolith in the Easter Island quarry 8000 to io,cxdo miles away. Without the slightest doubt the destruction of the buildings themselves at Baalbek was the work of earthquakes when they were well on their way towards completion. But what became of the builders? This neither I nor anyone else can answer, we can only surmise. They have been so obliterated that not a single trace of them has been left. Possibly some day some old Greek record may turn up telling us all about Baalbek.

The pillars of the Baalbek temples were of Corinthian pattern. The oldest patterns of Greek pillars are Corinthian. Presumably here in Baalbek, thousands of years before the Corinthian style of architecture became known in Greece, were and we can go still further back and say that the Corinthian pattern was simply a development of the Cara. The first settlers in Asia Minor had among them the forefathers of some of the present-day Greeks. Were the builders of the Baalbek temples the forefathers of some of the present-day Greeks and the Greeks who formed the Hellenes? Judging by the writings of Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Strabo and the Egyptian priest of Sais, Souchis, there seems to be good ground for believing so. pillars of Corinthian pattern, How small we are today, in many respects, compared with our forefathers of the First Great Civilization.

Many Egyptologists find enigmas concerning the two Egyptian religious cults. These apparent enigmas are brushed aside when it is known in what way Egypt was first peopled and by whom. Egyptologists have gone far astray in their many theories and deductions on many points simply because they have not understood the symbology of the ancients and their symbolical writings, nor could they comprehend the esoteric meanings of these writings. For this they cannot be blamed, for no key has been found and no school existed where they could be learned. These secrets, for many hundreds of years at least, have been known only to a very few old. Oriental sages. And these old sages spend their lives in their temples and monasteries, seldom coming in contact with the outer world. When they have done so, the information given by 149 THE CHILDREN OF MU 150 them is so unorthodox have looked upon to present theories that the recipi- pack of nonsense. Egypt was colonized by two sets of people, commencing at two separate and distinct parts. One set coming to Lower Egypt from the West, the other set coming to Upper Egypt from the East. The colonists coming from the West made their first settlement at Sais on the Nile Delta and were anciently known as the Nile Colony. The colonists coming from the East made settlements on the East Coast of Africa from Cape Guardefui to the head of the Red Sea. In India I find the name Maioo given as the name of this colony, but whether it included all of the territory heretofore mentioned, or only a part near Suakin on the Red Sea, I cannot say. Maioo was their Capital City, at least at the time of the writing of the Indian records, and it would seem to have been the name of the district as well. From the coast they worked back until they came to the Nile. Here they extended themselves both up and down. Eventually, the Upper Egyptians met the Lower Egyptians on the Nile, thus forming another complete chain of man around the earth. About ten thousand years after the first settlement was made at Sais, war broke out between the people of Upper Egypt and the people of Lower Egypt, resulting in the overthrow of the Lower Egyptians. The two were then joined and thereafter formed one empire. I will now go back and trace the Upper Egyptians to their colony from ents it India. The Maioo Colony. as a —After the Babylonian Colony was formed, how long afterwards is not known, the Nagas from India took another step to the West. From India they went to northeast Africa. They made settlements in the Gulf of Aden and at different points on the West Coast of the Red Sea. Both Indian and Egyptian records EGYPT 151 speak of their settlement at Maioo in Nubia, Upper Egypt. Maioo was on the Red Sea near where the modern town of Suakin is situated. This colonization took place neighborhood of 15,000 years ago. At that time the country was flat, for up to this time the African mountains had not been raised. It is also doubtful if any of the present desert lands then existed in this part of somewhere in the the earth. Later the settlers are found to have worked their way inland as far as the headwaters of the Nile, namely, to the White and Blue Niles. This Naga settlement grew, flourished, and became very powerful. Eventually, they made war on the Mayas, the Lower Egyptians, conquered them and turned the two Egypts into one Empire. Mena or Menes was the first dynastic king to reign over both Upper and Lower Egypt and with his appearance on the historical stage of Egypt, the title of “King of the North and South” was adopted. The origin of the Upper Egyptians is easily traced by symbol of the Deity, the Sun, which is verified by written records in both Indian and Egypt. The well-known Egyptian winged solar disk, with its pair of serpents, was introduced into Lower Egypt by the Upper their principal Egyptians. The Egyptian winged circle is the only one among the many designs of this symbol found in all ancient countries, that has a serpent in the design. was it added for the sake of This is not accidental, nor artistry. It was their expres- and to retain the memory that in their olden times and mother country, they used principally the symbol Naga, the Serpent, to symbolize the Deity as the Creator. In this design the Sun is sion of reverence for the Creator, made the principal symbol, being placed as the central figure in the design. While the Sun became their most THE CHILDREN OF MU 152 sacred symbol of the Deity, the Serpent as the Creator came next. Beyond these two, no other of the many sym- shown as secondary, symbolizing attributes. Even the crown of the king was adorned with the serpent as the symbol of the Creator. The Sun was not used in the crown because the Sun was the Infinite, the Almighty; thus to have used the Sun would have been sacrilege. Thus we see the reflection of India in Egypt. These people came from India and retained that which reminded them of India. Philostratus, in “Life of Tyana,” page 146, says: “The first Egyptians were a colony from India.” Valmiki, the Hindu sage-historian, whose works were written from the records of the Rishi Temple at Ayhodia, says: “The Mayas from India established a colony in Egypt, giving it the name of Maioo.” Records state that Narana, the High Priest of the Temple, read the records to Valmiki and Valmiki wrote them from his dictation. Valmiki in “Ramayana,” Vol. I, page 342, Fauche’s bols of the Deity are used without their being translation reads: “The Naacals first established them- Deccan, India, and from there carried their religion and learning to the colonies of Babylonia and Egypt.” Brunsen, in “Egypt’s Place in World’s History,” Vol. 4, page 58, says “The latest date at which commencement of Egyptian life, the migration from the Euphrates district, can have taken place was 9850 B. C.” I cannot imagine Brunsen saying that a migration from the Euphrates Valley to Egypt took place unless he had found some sort of a record to warrant it. This leaves an open question. Did his record refer to Oman and did he selves in the : EGYPT 153 include this as a part of the Euphrates district, or did some Akkadians actually join the companies going to Egypt from Oman or Akkad? Personally, I have never come across any records stating that the Akkadians took any part in the colonization of Egypt from India, but I have not seen all the records there are by a very long way. Yet another possibility remains: When the Mayas first commenced to go to Egypt from India, Akkad may have been their supply station en route. Brunsen may have come across some old record saying that the colonists had left Akkad for Egypt, thereby inferring that the colonists were Akkadians, not Hindus. Valmiki’s record stating that the Mayas from India formed a colony in Egypt, is not the only Hindu record stating the fact. There are many, but Valmiki’s being a temple record, I have looked upon it as being all that is necessary from India with the corroboration of Brunsen and Philostratus. The Hindu temple records distinctly state that the Egyptian Colony was formed from India and not from the Euphrates Valley. Philoof the stratus corroborates it. Now I will go to Egypt and take up the other end of the There is no Maioo on the Egyptian map today, so we must hunt up some old Egyptian records first, to find out if ever there was a Maioo in Egypt, and secondly, to find line. ; out its exact location. Brugsch Bey, considered one of the most reliable authorities on ancient Egypt, in his “History of Egypt under the Pharaohs,” Vol. 2, pages 78 and 174, says: “The name Maioo is comprised in the list of lands conquered by Thotmes HI. The name Maioo is found in a list of lands in a sepulchral chamber in Nubia.” This is a perfect confirmation by Egyptian history of Valmiki’s record. Nubia lies in Upper Egypt on the west . . . THE CHILDREN OF MU 154 coast of the Red Sea. Nubia commences a little north of Bab-el-Mandeb. Suakin is one of the present-day seaports of Nubia. Some Egyptologists have tried to get away with the raw proposition that the original Egyptians came from the Euphrates Valley, crossed the Assyrian Desert, entered Lower Egypt, and from there worked up to the White and Blue Niles, then split up and formed two empires. They have not a record or legend to warrant them in putting forward such an absurd statement. Such a contention as crossing a waterless desert, thus selecting the most physithe Straits of when very easy, safe, natural water route lay before them, is the top notch of absurdity. Did not Berosus say that the people first met by the Semitcally impossible route a and half human,” and does not Valmiki tell us that “the Mayas were mighty navigators whose ships went from the eastern to the western oceans and from the northern to the southern seas”? Yet these were the men who preferred to travel over a waterless desert twice the distance they would have had to go by water. By the water route they would have saved hundreds of miles of travel, they would have been in sight of land all the way, and could reach their destination without a single obstruction. If any reader will take a map and plot out the two routes, the result will be more convincing than any pen could write. Again, no sane being could imagine colonists leaving the fertile lands of the Nile Delta when they got there, to pound their way through trackless deserts to where they knew not. ics on the Euphrates were “half fish Upper Egypt. I shall now proceed to show by various records who the Lower Egyptians were and where they came from. The history of Lower Egypt is so interwoven with the history of Atlantis that nearly all known records refer to both, so I am forced The foregoing is the story of EGYPT to use over again many It is reiteration, I it and hope One my 155 of the records I used for Atlantis. know, but I think the subject justifies readers will look at it loses the continuity of a subject stantly to be turning back to in the same when he light. has con- previous pages. The Nile Colony. — T he Nile Colony was the original name of Lower Egypt. It was started at Sais on the Nile Delta by Mayas, coming from Atlantis under the leadership of Thoth about 16,000 years ago. The Nile Delta appears to have been neglected by the early Mediterranean settlers, as geological phenomena show that Asia Minor, the Balkan Peninsula and islands, and the Caucasian Plains were occupied many thousands of years before 14,000 B. C. At that time the lower end of the Balkan Peninsula, Asia Minor and the Caucasian Plains were ideal lands for settlers, rich soil and well watered, with an ideal climate. The Nile Delta to them then, apparently, appeared to be only a hot, sandy country. Therefore, it may be rightfully assumed that it could only have been a scarland for the ever increasing number of settlers or some untoward event that took the first settlers there. Reccity of ords will tell, we need not theorize. Schliemann: A tablet found in Maycarne, Crete, by Schliemann says; “The Egyptians descended from Misar. Misar was the child of Thoth, the god of history. Thoth was the emigrated son of a priest of Atlantis. He built the first temple at Sais and there taught the wisdom of his native land.” Troano Manuscript: “Fleeing from the wrath of her brother Aac, Queen Moo directed her course towards the rising sun and at last reached the Maya settlement which had recently been established on the banks of the Nile. There she met Thoth, the founder, who became her friend and preceptor in religious matters.” : THE CHILDREN OF MU 156 Egyptian Papyrus, time of Pharaoh Sent, 2nd Dynasty: “Pharaoh Sent sent out an expedition to the west in search of traces of Atlantis from whence 3350 years before the Egyptians arrived carrying with themselves all the wis- dom of their native land.” Rawlinson: “Origin of Nations,” page 13 “The Egyptians themselves claimed that their ancestors were strangers who in very remote times settled on the banks of the : Nile.” Herodotus “The Egyptians boasted that their ancestors in the lands of the West, were the oldest men on earth/’ Diodorus: “History,” Vol. i, page 30: “The Egyptians themselves claimed that their ancestors were strangers who in very remote times settled on the bank of the Nile, bringing with themselves the civilization of their mother country, the art of writing and a polished language.

Osborn: “In Egypt it is notorious that there is no indionies ; ; cation of an early savagery. All authorities agree that however far we go back we find in Egypt no rude, uncivilized time out of which civilization is developed. The reasonable inference from these facts appears to be that the first settlers in Egypt were a company of persons in a high state of civilization, but through some strange anomaly in the history of man they had been deprived of a great part of their language, and the entire written system which had formerly been the means and vehicle of their civilization.” I am afraid that when Osborn penned the foregoing, he was depending more on imagination than research such as his subject deserves. Had he read the works of the Greek philosopher, Diodorus, he would have found before he turned the fiftieth page that his “reasonable inferences” were without foundation, for the Egyptians brought a written language and maintained it throughout Egyptian history.

The Egyptians affirmed that Osiris was born in Egypt which is a perfect myth as the following shows: Thoth was the founder of Lower Egypt. He built the first temple at Sais and there taught the Osirian religion as he brought it from Atlantis. This is verified in the Book of the Dead. Why the Egyptians assigned Osiris to the charge of Amend does not appear clear except that it was to carry out a symbolism. shown Triune godhead of Lower Egypt as the sister wife of Osiris. What was she? Was she once a living woman or a symbol only? Without question she was a symbol only, carrying out a conception that had come down from the very beginning of man’s teachings. In the Egyptian religion, Isis was the symbol representing nature, and nature was the productive principle of the Creator the female principle. So many attributes were assigned to her by the Egyptians that she really appears as the feminine attribute symbol of the Creator. She repIsis. Isis is in the — resented the creation of all things. Thus she appears as the great attribute of creation, the executrix of the Creator’s commands. have never seen her depicted in mummy form. I find that those who have actually lived are often depicted as mummies, and occasionally as a god with a special head telling who he was. That Isis was assigned as the wife of Osiris is simply a symbolism. An old Egyptian writing says “Isis can never die although from age to age her vestments may change.” In other words, she may be known under different names among different peoples and ages. I think Rider Haggard explains the esoteric meaning I : EGYPT of Isis better than any other i6i man who has written about works he depicts a scene in front of the the overthrow of the Egyptians by the Per- her.

I am thy lost spirit, but thou, O Egypt, did not create me, for I created thee by a divine command. I am she whom men know as Isis here upon the Nile, but whom all the world and all the worlds be: yond the world know as nature, the visible garment of the Almighty God. Yet I remain and thou remainest, O Egypt. Aye, though we be called by many names in the infinite days to come, as we have been called in the infinite days that are gone, ever shall we remain.” Rider Haggard does not say whether he took this speech from some ancient document or not. Without doubt he had a good foundation for it. One very prominent point stands boldly out, where Isis says “by divine command.’’ These are the identical words used in the Sacred Inspired Writings of the Motherland referring to Creation, as shown in my last work.

Also the people who carved the Mexican Stone Tablets over 12,000 years ago. Their legend runs “The Moon was the sister wife of the : Sun.” Thus making both the Sun and Moon symbols of His principles. This symbolism dates far back, back beyond the Egyptians and back beyond the writers of the Mexican Stone Tablets. It originates in the Sacred Inspired Writings more than 70,000 years ago and was then used to teach early man that the Deity was dual in Creation. (Lahun, Fig. 4.) Horus. Horus was the third of the Lower Egyptian Triune Godhead. He was the son of Osiris and his sister wife Isis. From some of the Egyptian writings it is made to appear that Horus was once a living man. In others he appears as one of the symbols of the Sun Ra. I have the Creator, but as — THE CHILDREN OF MU 164 found nothing about either Isis or Horus in the Naacal writings, so presume that they were Egyptian symbols only. The head of the lower Egyptian Church was called the Horus, just as today the head of the Catholic Church is called the Pope. To me it appears that Horus being a symbol of the Sun and the Sun the symbol of the Deity, Horus was second-handedly the religious symbol of the Deity. Early Egypt was ruled by the Church before it became a kingdom. Many Egyptologists have endowed Horus with a grand old age. He commenced life at the time of Osiris 22,000 and strength down to the time of Menes 5000 years ago. A grand old age of 17,000 years. This goes the Hindu mistranslation about Rama one better. Rama lasted only 10,000 years. Methuselah was such a youngster he was never in their class. Whether the first Horus was a living man or only a symbol I am not prepared to say. There is the possibility that the first Horus was the son of Osiris, and at the death of Osiris became the Hieratic head of the Atlantian Church years ago and kept — this I cannot up his health say. Herodotus, “History,” Lib. 11-144: “Horus was the Hieratic head of Egypt before King Menes commenced to reign.” Manetho, the Egyptian priest-historian: “The reign of the sages in Egypt was ten thousand years. The sages were the Hieratic heads.” In the writings of Manetho there are references to six different Horuses as Hieratic heads. In certain ceremonies the Egyptians substituted that Horus was Horus the symbol of showing the Sun. In the Motherland the Hieratic head assumed the for Ra, thus title of Ra Mu as the rep- resentative of the Deity in religious matters. So later in Egypt the Hieratic head assumed the title of Horus. EGYPT From the commencement 165 of Egyptian history, and ap- parently for thousands of years, Egypt was governed by Horus. The Horus as the Hieratic head of religion in Lower Egypt was the Horus that immediately preceded King Menes, according to Manetho. When Upper and Lower Egypt were united under King Menes, there were two forms of religion involved in Upper Egypt the Sun was the most sacred symbol, in Lower Egypt it was the Triune with Osiris heading it. For two thousand years there was a bitter fight between the Church with a last : two priesthoods, each one trying to proselyte the other. Even the Kings were affected, some taking sides with the priesthood of Upper Egypt, others with the priesthood of Lower Egypt.

It reached its climax after the priesthood of Amon had amassed unmeasurable wealth. This wealth gave them the dominant power of the land which wealth always does, and as is always the case when a set of individuals gain control of the wealth of a country, it has invariably ended in the downfall of that country. There is not a single exception to this rule to be found in history. Even the Egyptian kings became weak tools in the hands of the Priests of aspirations self.

This is confirmed by a tablet dug up by Schliemann at Maycarne, Crete. This tablet states that: “The first Egyptians were Atlantians headed by Thoth, the God of History. They settled on the banks of the Nile at Sais where he built the first temple*' The discovery of this tablet was not reported at the time except to his grandson, Dr. Paul Schliemann, who subsequently undertook the unearthing of the Sais temple. The following is his report on what he found “We have been excavating the ruins of the ancient temple at Sais, in Egypt, for five months. Among many other interesting archaeological discoveries we have found a ticated as burial it was chamber built of the musical celebrities of that era. Here supposed to be from the time of the 3rd Dynasty, we found a huge casket of stone and with it a most unusual collection of musical instruments. It contained also a papyrus that has not been deciphered yet but I am of the opinion that it is a peculiar kind of Egyptian musical writing unknown to us. The hieroglyphic inscription on the Sarcophagus says that the musical instruments belonged to the orchestra of the Temple of Sais, and were used for the crowning celebration of Pharaoh in one of the catacombs, Amen-emhat ered, there I.

They arrived at a great land and settled there, prospered and became great.” If I could obtain some of their language and writing, I could tell at once whether they were Tamils. CHAPTER X THE WESTERN LINES Various important lines of colonization were followed from Mu in westerly directions. There were two main lines, two secondary ones, and some small independent ones. The lines about which most is known is the southern main line which ran from Mu to Burma, Burma to India, and from India to Babylonia and Upper Egypt (Nubia), and to the White and Blue Niles. The people who conducted this line were originally known as Nagas. Afterwards they took the names which they gave to their various settlements. A secondary line ran from Mu to the Malay Islands, from the Malay Islands to Southern India which they called Dravida, from India to Africa. They settled south of Nubia. These people were a black race with finely chiseled features and straight black hair they were called — Tamils. Without question the most important westerly line from Mu was the northern main line conducted by a people called Uighurs, the forefathers of the Aryan races. The Uighur Empire was possibly the first, and unquestionably the largest, most important, and most powerful, of all the colonial empires belonging to A short Mu. independent line was carried out to the Malay Islands by a people known as Quiche Mayas.

The Japanese are one of several lines of colonists the branches of the Quiches. Another line, how important cannot be said, was that of the Mongols who settled in the northern parts of Asia. A secondary line of yellow Mongols made their settlement north of Burma, what is now Cochin China. The Chinese coolies of today are their descendants. Deductions about anything are likely to be erroneous. In the past, archaeology has consisted largely of deductions and every day one or more of these is refuted by newly discovered records that bring the truth to light. In archaeology a single discovery is only a link and should be treated as such until the next link is found and attached, and so on until the complete chain is forged. Speculations, as such, are not only admissible but valuable, but deductions stated as facts, emphatically no. These errors are prominent in various archaeological writings. Hindu ancient written history, legends, records and traditions so clearly dovetail into one another that all ques- regarding their accuracy are eliminated. Traditions exist saying that settlements were made in the Malay Islands. The Karangs in Java, through their religious rites tions and ceremonies, clearly show that their forefathers came from the Motherland. This is tradition verified. Burma. Very little is known about Ancient Burma. Apparently it included the whole of the Malay Peninsula and lands to the north and east of it. Traditions state that when Ancient Burma existed the southern coast lines were not as they are now, that lands have been both submerged and emerged. Burma was the first stopover place of the Naga line of colonists. Burma is composed of two vocables — THE CHILDREN OF MU 172 mother tongue and means The New Land.

The remains of this city are to be seen to this day on one of the Caroline Islands due east from Burma. The first NagaMaya settlement in Burma was of an exceedingly ancient date. Tablets in the Himalayan monasteries, relating to the first settlement of Uighurs just north of Burma, state that colonization commenced more than 70,000 years ago.

Modern Cambodia is a part of Ancient Burma. The great river Meikong runs through the center of it. Along this river and its branches are a great number of remains of ancient civilizations. Whether any of them belong to the first civilization is still an open question. The bulk of them, however, date back only to about 1400 to 1600 years ago. This is fairly well authenticated by research work and excavations by French archaeologists. At Angkor are some wonderful remains which are now claiming attention from the world, for while the bulk of them THE WESTERN LINES V olcanic 173 conditions in and around Cambodia. are apparently not of a very ancient date, their magnif- unsurpassed by any architecture in the world.

These may be the works of the first civilization. I do not : THE CHILDREN OF MU 174 know and cannot say without first examining the ruins and reading the inscriptions on the stones, if there are any. The carvings on these stones, judged from photographs only, seem traceable to the ancient Maya of Yucatan and Central America. The most notable structure is at Angkor Vat. It was built during the time of the Khimers and finished during the first half of the 7th Century A. D. It is one of the most wonderful structures in the world and contains 1025 yards of sculpture, with hundreds of thousands of figures. In Hammerton’s Wonders ticle by Edmund appears an arChandler from which the following exof the Past, Vol. i, tracts are taken “Angkor is the scene of ancient ruins in Cambodia.

D. 650.” Chandler says, “leaving no trace.” While they have left no trace, nature has. Again Chandler asserts that they were “Serpent worshipers.” They were not as I shall hereafter show. From the very little I was able to see in Angkor, before THE WESTERN UNES 175 was removed from the ruins, there is not a particle of doubt but what the Khimers came to Cambodia from India. Authentic history tells us that some of the Malay Islands were invaded from India about this date and Cambodia is but next door to one of the greatest a shovelful of dirt known Hindu settlements in the Malays. I will further Hanuman “Among the Rama and fighting with the wildest fury the Rakshas. The quote Chandler : ferocity displayed in features is very realistic.” This comes from the carvings are seen and gestures of the Rakshas Hindu epic, Rama and Sita: “Angkor Thom, which lies three miles north of Angkor Vat, was the capital of the Khimer Empire. The builders here are of a very much earlier date than Angkor Vat. The city is crumbling spread over miles. One creeps through scrambles over fallen pillars, and galleries, in the struggle to many keep one’s feet, finds one’s self the knee of an elephant, or the waist of clasping some grotesque goddess.'^ Angkor Thom do not warrant the dates fixed. Chandler states that Angkor Thom was the capital of the Khimer Empire and that the buildings are of “very much earlier date” than Angkor Vat. The Khimer Empire Conditions at lasted only about saying “of very 200 years. There much is no margin here for earlier date.” Chandler’s “grotesque goddesses” are sacred symbolical figures telling a tale or recounting history. “Everywhere above the vegetation you meet the cobra’s cowl the seven-headed Naga, its fan-shaped hood erect, the genius of Angkor.

It has 37 towers grouped around a pagoda. Each has four Brahminic faces which embrace the four points of the compass.” This is a symbolic building, the four faces point to the four cardinal points —the Sacred Four ruling and govern- ing the material universe. Details of the carvings on this would enable me to give the whole tale. “The mystery that veils the origin of the Khimers and the manner of their disposition is as mysterious as the waves shrine of migration that established themselves in the basin of the Meikong.” The origin by the of the histories of Khimers is clearly and accurately told nearby lands. Beyond this Fournereau has clearly established their land of origin as India. The and most reliable work have come across describing Angkor is a work called Angkor the Magnificent written by Helen Churchill Candee. The details given by Madam Candee are so minutely given as to be of the greatest value to the archaeologist. The book is charmingly written.
