Testing for the validity of the rediscovered Naacal Tablets
An important topic for discussion – what tests should be performed on the newly rediscovered Naacal Tablets when they appear?
I am looking for input on the subject.
Publishing a complete list prior to the Naacal tablets being produced might be counter-productive. Some might say that the test criteria was released in advance so that the discovery could fulfil the requirements, however a list of suggestions of what might be on the list would be beneficial to get the thinking ‘out of the box.’
A list has been started and will be posted (with any suggestions) when the find has been announced and the Naacal Tablets produced.
Also, a list of ‘hard questions to be asked’ is also needed.
For instance, if the civilization in Mu was so advanced that the records speak of flying around in man-made machines, why were the sacred writing of Mu written on clay tablets instead of being etched on metal? Certainly the flying machines were made of metal…
This past year has been busy. Since our last podcasts were released in Spring of 2007, we have continued to collect data and continue the research.
First, the publication of Podcast # 5 revealed some photos purported to be daughters of James Churchward and we sought to have the young ladies in these photos identified. If you have yet to view these pictures, please check them out in our Blog, in podcast #5, or under Blogs of Note in the Interactive media portion of our website. If these young ladies are related, there may be old, unpublished manuscripts sitting in a box somewhere in the attic.
Second, Podcast #4 presented some purported ancient relics of Mu which turned out not to be as ancient as labeled. Our podcast also called on interested parties with knowledge of any other evidence of the lost continent of Mu to come forward and allow them to be analyzed. That offer is still open.
Third, while there has been a great response to the ‘Great Uighur Empire’ discussion forum and many private emails concerning this subject, we are still asking for any information that substantiates James’ theories of that ‘Great Uighur Empire.’ Please visit our interactive media page for the link to Great Uighur Empire discussion mailing list and tell us what you know.
In the past year we have received court transcriptions of the proceedings where James sued to have his intellectual property rights respected. These were in regard to his contribution to armor-plating that was used on US warships during World War I. These documents illuminate another side of James Churchward and show that he was not just a crackpot with no scientific background. The scanned pdfs are linked from our resources page.
More research has also gone into an expanded and updated version of the 1927 ‘Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Man’ that will be published in the near future. By correlating the original text with information contained in his scrapbooks and other reference materials, we believe that for the first time in over eighty years new insights into James’ theories are now available. We are undeterred by the knowledge that others have also started to republish James’ works because our versions will contain the full text as well as further information and notes that are unavailable in any other version.
It has been a year that our bookstore has been open, please stop by and have a look.
