My great-grandfather, James Churchward, postulated that a now sunken continent existed in the Pacific Ocean and wrote a few books concerning his theories in the late 1920s to mid 1930s.
In his book, Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Men, he wrote:

I have shown that man was on earth and in a high state of civilization during the later part of the Tertiary Era, from the quality and perfection of his works. It is shown that he must have been in existence an immensely long time before the end of the Tertiary Era. This would certainly carry him back contemporary with the first apes who resembled men.
Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Men, page 310

Now, the Tertiary geological period is from 65 million to 2.6 million years ago and obviously James didn’t believe in evolution.

In another post, I brought up newly discovered research that indicates human interaction with other hominids at least 30,000 years ago, if not earlier. There was also the post about the five (5) skulls discovered in Dmanisi, Georgia that indicated the number of our earlier ancestors may have been overstated. Examining the dimensional variation in that small population showed that they were within the same limits as current humans, although the archaeologists originally thought they may have been different peoples/hominids.

A paper about a dig in Gademotta, Ethiopia indicates that manufactured stone projectiles have been discovered that date back to 279,000 years ago. Previously, the earliest stone projectiles had been dated to only 80,000 years ago.

So, we have evidence of ancient tool building hominids that stretch back into an era where humans supposedly didn’t exist and the number of human ‘ancestors’ have to be recounted. There is obviously more research required, but it begs the question, could there have been an ancient high civilization that did succumb to some cataclysm and where do we go now to find the answer to the question?

Have a great day.

In a recent article appearing in Nature magazine entitled, “Mystery humans spiced up ancients’ sex lives,” researchers studying the human genome has concluded that the ancient Denisovans, Neaderthals and a unknown mystery species all interbred with our ancestors some 30,000 or more years ago.

A mystery human species that was in existence over 30,00 years ago but has now gone the way of Neanderthal and the Denisovans. The researchers likened it to a Middle Earth scenario:

“What it begins to suggest is that we’re looking at a Lord of the Rings-type world — that there were many hominid populations,” says Mark Thomas, an evolutionary geneticist at University College London who was at the meeting but was not involved in the work.

Everyone should note that these are respectable scientists from established organizations with peer-reviewed papers that are making these claims. Rather than sweeping it all under the rug (as sometimes alleged in conspiracy theories,) these results shatter some of the old theories and provide enormous room for future study, research and discovery.

It will be fun to see where this leads.
Have a great day!
