Nevada Petroglyphs Dated to 10,000 Years Old

In recent news, some petroglyphs found near Pyramid Lake, Nevada have been dated to 10,000 or possibly 14,800 years old.
While some of the carvings do resemble a symbol from Nevada that my great-grandfather, James Churchward, showed in his book “Sacred Symbols of Mu,” his explanation is that it is an animal track and not a symbol (see #40 in illustrations below.)

There is another symbol from the “Sacred Symbols of Mu” seen on the outcropping of rock. Although James does not relate it to the American Southwest, it is cited as a symbol of the Mound Builders culture, also in the United States. A symbol similar to the shown above (#15) is depicted on page 227 of the Sacred Symbols of Mu. James’ interpretation/translation is as follows:

Fig. 15 shows the earth’s Forces passing out of her body into the atmosphere (they are drawn out by their affinitive Forces carried in the Sun’s rays). Earthly Forces like elements become exhausted, and when exhausted the Sun’s affinitive Forces have no further attraction or control over them. The Central Magnet then proceeds to draw them back into the great frictional line where they are regenerated and again sent to perform the duties required of them by nature. I may say further that this example of the workings and origin of earthly Forces may also apply to all revolving bodies throughout the universe, and thus show that a single Divine system is controlling the Universe.

Maybe as more of the symbols are revealed, even more will coincide with the symbols that James wrote about.

Update on the Rediscovery of the Naacal Tablets (Jan. 2011)

Greetings,

I spoke with Klaus Dona recently via Skype and he pointed out an article, in German, under the title, “Die goldene Tempelbibliothek von Mu (The Golden Temple Library of Mu ).”
In the online Google translation of the article into English, it appears that Thomas Ritter has found the Temple Library that James Churchward wrote about in the Lost Continent of Mu. The article further states that the priests still like to talk about James.

Mr. Dona also mentioned that Mr. Ritter would be returning soon and would pass along my contact information. I hope to have an interview with Mr. Ritter and/or obtain a statement about his discoveries soon thereafter. If these artifacts turn out to be the real Naacal tablets that James wrote about, then his theories will finally be acceptable to mainstream archaeologists, but it has to be asked, who will translate them if the Rishis are gone?

Have a great day,
Jack Churchward

The Glozel Discoveries

Recently I came across some information about the Glozel Tablets which seems to intersect with James Churchward’s theories, but maybe he didn’t agree (more on that later.)

The initial discovery was in March 1924 by Emile and Claude Fradin on their farm in the hamlet of Glozel near Vichy, France. When the cow pulling the plow got it’s foot stuck, Emile and Claude extracted the cow’s leg which lead them to an underground chamber where they found some ceramic fragments and human bones.

A subsequent excavation in April of 1924 revealed tablets, idols, bone and flint tools and engraved stones. In September 1925, the amateur archaeologist Antonin Morlet published his findings as “Nouvelle Station Néolithique” and declared that the site was Neolithic (7000 BCE – 1800 BCE). Controversy soon followed when the ‘powers that be’ dismissed Morlet’s findings. Subsequent excavations have produced further artifacts and controversy.

Dating the pottery using modern methods has indicated that the artifacts fall into three age-groups. The oldest is 300BCE to 300CE, the second grouping was the 13th century, and the last group was found to be recent (20th century).

The 100 or so tablets have yet to be deciphered, but different experts have seen similarities between the characters and Phoenician or Basque or Chaldean or…(the list goes on).

Now the similarities between the writing on the Glozel tablets and writing discovered in Okinawa at or near the Yonaguni ‘monument’ is where the Glozel tablets intersect with James Churchward’s theories on a lost Pacific Ocean continent. Actually, the phrase they use is ‘common cultural origin’ because they link the characters found at Yonaguni with the Glozel Tablets, the Phoenicians and writings discovered near Tiahuanacu in South America.

Fortunately, James Churchward’s thoughts about the Glozel Tablets are known. As shown in the following page excerpted from one of James’ scrapbooks, he wrote the word “Fake” and initialed it. A note of significance is that this image features reproductions from Morlet’s “Nouvelle Station Néolithique”. Click for larger size.

Here is another of article from James’ scrapbook from September 11, 1926 on the “Glozel Discoveries”. Click for larger size.

This is not to say that the tablets were fake, only that James Churchward’s opinion of them was that they were fakes.
