The Temple of Mu
Anyone ever seen this before? Truly amazing.

http://www.conceptual.net.au/~jackc/mu.htm



On the floor of the Pacific Ocean, near the south-western point of Japan's Ryukyu Islands, lies a structure that is believed to be about 12,000 years old — pre-dating the pyramids of Giza by about 5000 years.

Mu was originally put forward as an ancient civilization by Col James Churchward in the late 1800s. Based upon thousands of ancient clay tablets he came across in Indian monasteries, he concluded that there was once a mid-Pacific Ocean continent that was home to an advanced civilization of about 65m people some 70,000 years ago which was wiped out in a cataclysmic earthquake.

Churchward also believed that Mu was the original Garden of Eden and the location of the original Tree of Life, a herb which is still harvested and consumed on the island of Yonaguni, where remnants of the temple can be found.

1. I used to have a copy of his book
Ravings, period. He says things like the sun doesn't provide heat.

3. My mom has that book.
I'm much more inclined to believe in Atlantis than Mu.

2. I've seen a few Discovery channel shows on those rocks/structures
I'm a bit up in the air as to how man-made they are.

They are in an area where the rocks break off in slabs, so a certain amount of the angular nature is definitely natural. However, there are many areas that do show signs of having been worked. It may be a natural formation that was modified by humans long ago.

As far as who made/modified them, there is evidence of people living in pre-ice age Japan, and they may have been more advanced than was previously realized. Not 'Atlantis-flying-carpet-crystal' sort of advanced, but in that they had a more organized social structure than we'd previously thought existed before the last ice age.

I kind of doubt it was 'Mu'/Original Garden of Eden/location of Tree of Life, personally.
