The history of the Earth holds many unsolved secrets. One of the most famous – Atlantis, about the reality of existence and the causes of death which scientists are still debating. But in ancient legends It tells about other continents where supposedly flourished developed civilizations and which sank as a result of grand global disasters. Most often, two such continent: Lemuria in the Indian Ocean and Pacifida, or Mu – in Quiet.

The former existence of Lemuria is confirmed … by lemurs
To begin with, it should be noted that some researchers interpret the toponym Mu as the abbreviation of the name “Lemuria”, that is, how two names of the same continent. And Pacifida is different continent, and the name Mu has nothing to do with it. However those who I do not agree with such a “distribution” of names, indicate that most researchers place Lemuria in the Indian Ocean, and Pacifidou (Mu) – in the Pacific. True, it looked endlessly in those far distant waters around the earth and what was on the place of these present oceans – it’s also not known for sure … One by one from the interpretations, the name “Lemuria” has a curious explanation. IN 1830, English zoologist Philip Latley Sclater observed that lemurs – animals of the family of semi-monkeys – live as in Madagascar (but not on the African continent!), and on the islands of Malay archipelago. Of course, to cross the Indian Ocean, these animals are not in condition. Based on this, Sklater suggested that in antiquity, maybe 100 million years ago, in The Indian Ocean was the mainland, subsequently sunken. But if this continent existed so long ago, then people do not live on it could, because the age of humanity is estimated at only 2-3 million years. However, in the XIX century, some scientists, including Ernst Haeckel, one of the prominent biologists of the time, was considered Lemuria is the cradle of humanity. Colonel Studies Чёрчуорда 
Фотоfrom open sources Map from the book of James Churchward B 1868 Colonel of the British Colonial Army James Churchward, who served in India, made friends with a certain Buddhist monk who revealed to him the location of several thousand clay tablets, covered in mysterious characters. Churchward studied tablets over 10 years and, in the end, announced that he was able to read written on them texts. According to him, the story is told in these texts. continent Mu. On this continent, which sank 100 thousand years ago back, 64 million people lived, and the level of their civilization is largely superior to the present. Being wealthy, Churchward became travel around the world looking for other sources that could confirm the existence of the continent and civilization of Mu. is he traveled to Tibet, Central Asia, Burma, Egypt, Siberia, Australia, on the islands of the Pacific Ocean and in Central America. Exactly at Central America Colonel learned that an American archaeologist William Niven discovered ruins during excavations in Mexico buildings and tablets covered with strange signs. Seeing found Niven tablets, Churchward said that these are the same signs as on tablets from an indian monastery. Together they deciphered the inscriptions, which talked about a huge continent with numerous the population that existed in the Pacific Ocean and its tragic death. According to the results of his wanderings and research results James Churchward has published several articles, as well as two books: The Lost Continent of Mu (“The lost continent of Mu”) and The Cosmic Forces of Mu (“Space Forces Mu”), released in New York, respectively, in 1931 and 1934. Pros and cons
As for the plates stored in the Indian monastery, then, except Churchward, no one saw them, because the colonel, in his According to him, he undertook to keep their whereabouts secret. However, all the people who knew the colonel claimed that he was a man exceptionally truthful and honest, and the only thing is that he is all his own fortune spent looking for evidence to support the information contained in the tablets speaks in his favor. Besides Moreover, it was known where the other tablets are located – those that are in Mexico found Niven. And yet, some scholars are skeptical reacted to the interpretation of the texts contained in them, although in no one doubted the authenticity of the tablets themselves. In 1924, the doctor Morley from the American Carnegie Institution gave such things about them conclusion: “Discovered items are authentic, but applied to them the symbols, like the symbols carved on the ruins of the altar, are not like anything known to archeology of the pre-Columbian period. ” French scientist Robert Carro in his Book of Fallen Worlds agrees with the conclusions of Churchward on the existence of the Mu civilization. IN In this regard, Carro mentions the famous ruins of the city of Tiahuanaco, lying on the shore of Lake Titicaca. They testify that several thousand years ago (some believe that from 20 to 30 thousand years ago) there was a highly developed civilization. Now Tiahuanaco is located at an altitude of 3915 meters above sea level, however, on the banks of canals, the remains of which are preserved within cities, archaeologists find fragments of shells of marine mollusks. By the opinion of some scholars, once under the walls of Tiahuanaco once splashed waves of the ocean. It is likely that tectonic shifts in the Earth the crust that caused the rise of those land areas where now the Andes are located, at the same time led to the flooding of the continent Mu. And here is the “material evidence”
But perhaps the most powerful argument in defense of the hypothesis Churchworth serves the ruins of various structures covering dozens Pacific Islands in Polynesia and Micronesia. They undoubtedly are traces of a much older civilization than that which exists in these places since the XIX century. It’s ruins city buildings and temples, the remains of magnificent colonnades and luxurious tombs, fragments of statues. Their sizes, architecture and art of processing indicate that they were created people with extensive knowledge and high culture. Among similar ancient artifacts undoubtedly belong to the ruins the mysterious city of Nan Madol on one of these islands – Ponape – in the Carolina archipelago. It is possible that this entire archipelago is part of a large mainland plunged into the ocean. But some more examples. On the island of Pickern, lying in 2000 kilometers west of Easter Island, you can see the remains of residential houses, four-meter statues and the ruins of ancient temples. On the Gambier Islands – beautifully preserved mummies and ruins of high walls forming a half ring. On the already mentioned island of Ponape there is a port built of stone with channels, which, according to indigenous traditions, built the “kings of the sun.” But who they were no one can say where they came from or where they went. In the mentioned Carro’s book about the lost continents contains a picture of a huge arch from a monolithic stone located on the island of Tongatapu in the archipelago Tonga. This arch weighs about 100 tons, and on the whole island there is no such places where you could get a “blank” for such a giant the details. So, the stone was brought from somewhere. Who! When? How way? On one of the Mariana Islands – Tinian – Churchward saw a whole forest of columns, later described in detail by an archaeologist Laris Tal. And archaeologists confirm
There is no doubt that all this indicates the existence of mentioned places in the very distant past of a highly developed human community. And it’s most logical to assume that in this part of the planet really once was vast continent and that civilization flourished on it, though maybe not as ancient and not as developed as it seems archaeologist colonel. In January 1974 in a French magazine Science et Vie (“Science and Life”) reported on nearby New Hebrides archipelago, a group of five islands on which, according to local tradition, after a terrible earthquake, what happened in time immemorial, the island of Kuwai broke up. Archaeologist Jose Garanger examined soil samples from these islands. The results confirmed the credibility of the legend. “It puts on again agenda the question of the existence of the past of the continent of Mu “- so The mentioned message ends. According to Churchward, descendants The people inhabiting Mu were Mayans in America and Uyghurs in Asia. Uighurs live to this day – in China (about 7.5 million), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan (170 thousand). In ancient Chinese traditions it speaks of the powerful Uyghur empire that existed millennia ago. In 1908 (according to other sources – in 1907) archaeological expedition led by a researcher Central Asia P.K. Kozlov (1863-1935), subsequently full member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, found in Gobi desert, the ancient capital of the Uyghur kingdom – the city of Hara-Hoto. Subsequently, during the excavation there was discovered a certain grave Queen, buried 15,000 years ago. In 1970, a professor Romeo de Saint-Savoyard expressed the opinion that the population of Mu had extraterrestrial origin: these were aliens from one of the planets constellations Veronica’s Hair. They became the first civilized inhabitants of the earth, and subsequently all their knowledge and culture handed over to the inhabitants of Atlantis. Professor believes that the civilization of Mu died about 700 thousand years ago. It should be noted that far from all reputable scientists attributed this opinion to the region science fiction. In conclusion, a quote from a book by Robert Carro: “The fact of the existence of the continent of Mu relies on so many evidence of archeology and culture that not to reckon with them would be just stupid. ”
