James and Albert Churchward

Posted on December 21, 2015 | Comments Off

Recently, someone pointed out a blog posting about my great-grandfather, James Churchward and his brother, Albert. Unfortunately, they provided some bad information about James and Albert. The blog posting provides this background:

Dr. Albert Churchward (1852-1925) was a Mason and member of the Geological Society of London. He is the well-respected author of books delving into the evolution of symbols through history in The Origin and Evolution of Religion, Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, and The Origin and Evolution of the Human Race. He also collaborated extensively with his brother James Churchward, noted author of The Lost Continent of Mu and an additional series of books about the lost continent.

I have posted quite a bit of information about James, here is some on his younger brother Albert:

Albert Churchward (1852-1925)

1852 09/18 Albert Churchward is born to Henry and Matilda Churchward in Okehampton, County Devon.

1870 – Finished Grammar school in Penge, Brompton, Surrey at Stambridge Road and entered Guy’s University Medical School in London Bridge in Surrey.

1873 – Graduated Guy’s University Medical School in London Bridge, Surrey. Admitted to Royal College of Physicians.

1874 – Admitted to Royal College of Surgeons.

1876 – Admitted to membership in Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh. Medical Doctor, Brussels.

1898 02/28 Joined Geological Society of London with brother Wm. Gould Churchward.

1910 – Authored: “The Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, being an explanation of the Evolution of Religious Doctrines from the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians”

1915 – Authored: “The Arcana of Freemasonry”

1921 – Authored: “Origin and Evolution of the Human Race”
Nov. Received illustrations from James Churchward, his older brother living in New York; “Illustrations for Lecture on the Origin of Freemasonry”

1923 – Resigned from Geological Society of London.

1924 – Authored: “The Origin and Evolution of Religion”

1925 09/04 Death of Dr. Albert Churchward. London Times Obituaries, Sept 5, 1925.

As noted by the title of one of his books, Albert was a Freemason, his obituary from the London, “Freemason” is reproduced below.

Albert’s books were not just about the evolution of symbols, but were also about Freemasonry and his belief in human evolution. Albert placed the origin of man in the Nile valley and the lakes at the head of the Nile in Africa. He related that Freemasonry developed among primitive men with the “Stellar Cult” observing Polaris and six other stars in the constellation of Ursa Minor.

James’ books were about a now-sunken Pacific Ocean continent where mankind was created and evolution was impossible. In ‘Books of the Golden Age,’ James writes that Freemasonry is actually a ‘remnant of the First Religion of Mankind’ and based on the ‘Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu.’

Perhaps they conspired to correspond with each other, but would their nefarious purpose be better served if they actually worked together? James did not publish prior to the death of his brother and when he did, he took a completely different path as indicated above.
Even a simple reading of their works would immediately indicate the differences in their theories, so I am not sure what they would have to gain in the supposed plot.

As far as the ‘swastika’ symbol used in the posting:

Niven Tablet 1231: The key to universal movements
From Cosmic Forces of Mu

Niven Tablet # 1231 was reproduced in a few of James’ books and was also identified as a symbol of the Sacred Four.
As some of Niven’s tablets have been analyzed and are accused of being a hoax, (i.e., created by Niven’s diggers to ‘salt’ the dig so that Niven would remain on their land and keep paying them) I am no longer concerned with them as legitimate artifacts. My attempt to discover the real meaning behind the tablets was with the understanding that they were real artifacts and not a hoax.

Looking for the Great Uighur Empire Capital Part 5

Posted on December 20, 2015 | Comments Off

To repeat the question from the end of Part 4:
See also Part 1 or Part 2 or Part 3.

So, according to the newspaper article and the works of James Churchward, the ancient Uighurs of 70,000 years ago had their capital at Khara Khoto, but where is this capital in relationship to the historical Great Uighur Empire/Khaganate (744-840)?
A map is shown below that represents the territory under the control of the Uighur Kagans.

The Uighur leaders also had an affinity for the Orkhon Valley and built their capital at Ordu Baliq or Karabalghasun, less than 18 miles away from the city that would one day become the capital of the Mongol Empire, Karakhorum.

Capital of the Great Uighur Empire – Ordu Baliq

The map below, presented previously, again provides some perspective about the distances involved.

To repeat the question from the end of Part 3:
See also Part 1 or Part 2.

At least one question arises, “How much of this newspaper article can be believed?” For instance, was Khara Khoto really the capital of Chinggis Khan and his grandson Kublai?

First, Temujin was given the title “Chinggis Khan” which can be translated as “Leader of All Who Live in Felt Tents.” He and his people lived in yurts on the grasslands of Inner Asia. When Ogedei succeeded the great Khan, he built the Mongol capital at Karakorum, in the Orkhon Valley.
In the Google Earth map below, Kharakorum is shown to the north of the square and enclosed Erdeene Zuu monastery.

Karakhorum lies to the north of Erdeene Zuu monastery

Karakorum lies to the north of Erdeene Zuu monastery

This was the capital of the Mongol Empire from 1235 to 1260 and later the Northern Yuan in the 14th and 15th centuries.

But how close is Karakorum to Kara Khoto? As shown in the following map, they are not very close (about 385 miles).

So maybe the article (and James Churchward) did not get it right about the city of Kara Khoto being a city of Chinggis Khan, but what about his grandson, Kublai? Kublai lived in Karakorum until he became the 5th Mongol Empire Kagan and finished conquering the Chinese empires. Kublai created the Yuan dynasty and built his capital at Khanbaliq in what is now known as Beijing.

The map below places the different places in perspective – Kara Khoto or the Black City is over 800 miles from Beijing or Khanbaliq. Again, the contents of the newspaper article are called into question.

So, according to the newspaper article and the works of James Churchward, the ancient Uighurs of 70,000 years ago had their capital at Kara Khoto, but where is this capital in relationship to the historical Great Uighur Empire/Khaganate (744-840)?
