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 Great Uighur Empire According to James Churchward

A brief image flashed in a previous podcast episode to announce planning for a conference to be held on the subject of the Great Uighur Empire. This (late) blog entry is another opportunity for interested parties to get involved in the planning and preparation. So far there have been very few emails at gueconf@my-mu.com for prospective participants to announce their intentions to join in.

Tentatively scheduled to be held in May 2011 in Florida in the Tampa Bay area, the purpose of the conference is to assemble experts and information to discuss James Churchward’s Great Uighur Empire.

We welcome all participants, professional and laymen, to impart their wisdom, understanding, and documented research on any facet of James Churchward’s Great Uighur Empire. Most preferred would be any evidence that substantiates or provides independent corroboration of James’ theories on the Great Uighur Empire.

This is a public appeal for participation – we have attempted to contact individuals identified as researchers into the Great Uighur Empire, however with very little success. If you would like to participate, either as a presenter, as an observer, or you know someone who should be contacted, please send us an email at gueconf@my-mu.com.

Have a great day,

PopSci and James Churchward

Popular Science magazine (March 1928) had an article entitled “Swastika May Trace Races to Lost Pacific Continent” that quoted James’ theory on the lost Pacific Ocean continent that he called, “Mu”.



The text reads as follows:

Popular Science March 1928
“Swastika May Trace Races to Lost Pacific Continent”
Many thousands of years ago there stood in the Pacific Ocean a continent where thrived a remarkable civilization. In a tremendous earth upheaval the continent vanished, swallowed by the waters. But before the catastrophe, adventurers from that lost land drifted to other continents and left their marks.
Such is the fascinating theory advanced by Col. James Churchward, of India, to explain the origin of mysterious symbols found carved and painted on rocks.
Most famous of the symbols is the swastika cross found on rocks in America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. In North America the rock writings, or petroglyphs, have been generally attributed to comparatively recent tribes of Indians. Colonel Churchward, however, contends that many of them are very ancient, and that their original source was the lost continent. With the aid of key symbols discovered in India, he claims ability to translate some of the mysterious writings.
Interest in tracing the family tree of modern man has been heightened by the recent statement of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, noted anthropologist, that the low-browed grisly Neanderthal man, who lived 40,000 years ago, may have been our direct ancestor, instead of a distant cousin of a different species. The belief has been that this prehistoric race was exterminated by the later Cro-Magnon men and left no descendants, however Dr. Hrdlicka finds new evidence that he formed a definite link in the long chain of human evolution.
