The Changing Theories of James Churchward

A few months ago, I posted about some documents for sale from James Churchward.

Looking closely at the map (which was correct up to December 1924 as noted and signed with his signature on the map,) I was surprised to see the migration route into Asia was from Europe. Settlers from Mu traveled from Mu across Central America, across the Atlantic, to Europe and continued to Asia.

In the Children of Mu (1931,) the map provided on page 170 and labeled “Western Lines of Colonization from Mu” shows the exact opposite. Settlers from Mu traveled from Mu to Asia and then on to Europe.

Western Lines of Colonization from Mu

James writes, beginning on page 169, the following text, immediately preceding the map above:

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 Mu.

If James’ information was gained from his studies with the Rishi in the 1870s and subsequent research, how and what made his theories change between 1924 and 1930?
How much different were earlier drafts of his works from the version we see published?
In another example, back in late 1924 and early 1925, James’ had yet to name the tablets. His association with Buddhist scholars in translating the 125 tablets were covered in newspaper articles posted here.
One would think with translated ancient sacred tablets and after fifty years or more of study there would be a consistent story.

Except if it was originally written as a fictional story.

Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Fan Art: The Blueprint

One of the positive results of James Churchward’s works is the community of his true believers. While we might not all agree on everything James wrote, I have found the community to be filled with basically friendly and tolerant individuals.

Recently, my publisher sent an email connecting me with an artist on Instagram, the artist was so inspired by “The Children of Mu,” the following drawing was created:

Artwork Title: The Blueprint

Description: The inner part of the drawing displays the symbols of heaven and earth in a repetitive pattern. The repeating pattern symbolizes the idea of multiple dimensions all existing at once. The center triangle is a portal (of which I’ve had a vision of in the past and is the bases of most of my art pieces) The Portal naturally represents a way to and from the through and through.

The outer infinity symbols represent two things at once. The first is eternal life. The second is angels/aliens/guardians. These, in particular, are surrounding and guarding all dimensions as well as possibly powering and operating the portals.

If you wish to contact the artist, send an email and I’ll pass along your email address and any kind words you wish to invoke.

Have a great day!

Looking For The Naacal Tablet Photographs

While looking at the “Books of the Golden Age,” the 1927 volume written for Howard Keresy, I found a most interesting passage:

The Naacal Tablets are the foundation of James Churchward’s theories on the ancient civilization of Mu. If these photographs could be found, it would be the proof necessary to dispel the quote in “My Friend Churchey and His Sunken Island of Mu” where James tells the author they were fiction.

Happy Hunting!
