Immediately following the close of the last ice age, the bulk of the north was still overed in ice. Hence, sea level was MUCH lower. Here's my theory.

Long ago, on the Japanese island of Honshu, lived a group of people known as the Jomon. Not much is known of them, except that their numbers were supposedly small, and that they worshipped a goddess. Now, I contest that much of the Jomon culture may have lived below what is now sea level, and their ruins were covered up by the melt of the glaciers. Considering that when chinese immigrants crossed the japanese Land bridge (now covered up by the sea) they discovered the Jomon, living in tents, etc. However, the Jomon had been on Honshu for several centuries prior to the appearance of these people, who would become the japanese. Is it possible that the Jomon, knowing what was to come, retreated back onto higher ground? I'd say yes. I'm saying that what those divers are finding, and calling the ruins of MU are actually the ruins of the Jomon. That's just my 2 cents. Peace.

Hey Loki, do you have any links to the Jomon. I'd like to read up on these people.

Just do a google search. I'm sorry, but I read about them from a real book. with pages, and stuff...heh.

Oh, a real book, like a cave man. I see.

OK, if anyone cares here's a link about the Jomon. They lived in Japan before the Japanese and may be where the story of Mu comes from.

What link???
And how many centuries ago did the Jomon live on Honshu???

Little known fact: KLF was also known as the Justified Ancient of Mu. There is an ancient cult that sprouted from this lost continent that is still around today.

could easily have been a pre atlantian continent that was existant in a distance past civilization before the fall of adam

Adam wasn't real.

Actually....

Nobody knew ANYTHING about the "continent of Mu" and Lemuria until Edgar Cayce "channeled" it.

Cayce was proveably wrong about a lot of things.

Sorry that is incorrect.

In 1868, while serving with the British Army in India, Churchward became close friends with a high temple priest who taught him how to decipher numerous stone tablets which had lain hidden for centuries in the temple vaults. They told of a vast civilization which had emerged, flourished and decayed long before our own; the Continent of Mu.

Lemeria and Mu

Today the names of Lemuria and Mu are used interchangeably for the lost continent in the Pacific described by Mayan texts and the Indian bible. Originally these islands were located in two separate oceans; Lemuria, in the Indian Ocean and Mu in the Pacific.

I don't know about this Edgar Cayse stuff. I don't put any faith in prophecy.

NT, what is your original source?

You see, I was heavily into that stuff when the first mass-market publication of Cayce's stuff came out in the 1960's. I did search for Lemuria and Mu references, and Cayce seemed to be the original source. There weren't any other ancient sources for this -- after Cayce came up with it, people jumped on the bandwagon with fiction and "channelings" about it.

Your original source suggests that (since Churchward learned this while he was in India) the source of the material is Indian. "Lemuria" and "Mu" aren't Hindu words -- however, they are Greek words (well, one is the name of a Greek letter.)

There is no mention of this land in Greek writings/myths/legends/other material (just as Plato is the only ancient source mentioning Atlantis and he does make plain it's a story/example.)

Is there a source you've got that's reliably (as in "printed library book") older than Cayce?
