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.
