Mu, the Motherland, a lost culture which was the center of civilization some 25,000 years ago. A vanished continent which sent Colonel James Churchward on a lifetime's search, from the vaults of an Indian temple to Australia, from Siberia to the South Seas.

In 1868, while serving with the British Army in India, Churchward became close friends with a high temple priest who taught him how to decipher numerous stone tablets which had lain hidden for centuries in the temple vaults. They told of a vast civilization which had emerged, flourished and decayed long before our own; the Continent of Mu.

This is Churchward's story of how he followed the trail of Mu to the ends of the earth and pieced together the picture of a civilization, guided by religious principles, whose influence is still felt throughout the world - though now lost in the mists of time ... Mu, the Motherland.

The first volume in the series — The Lost Continent of Mu — set out Churchward's theory utilizing a "vast knowledge of science, ancient art and history, mythology and the occult" to recreate the splendor and doom of this hidden antediluvian world.

"The Garden of Eden was not in Asia but on a now sunken continent in the Pacific Ocean. The Biblical story of Creation came first not from the peoples of the Nile or the Euphrates Valley but from this now-submerged continent, Mu — the Motherland of Man."

Volume #2 in the series is The Children of Mu "the strange, true story of the pioneers of Mu." According to the back cover, "Sixty-three million people lived on the now lost continent of Mu over 200,000 years ago ... The children of Mu became the most influential people on earth ... America was one of the first colonies of Mu ... Mu had an incredibly sophisticated government, flowering of culture and scientific technology."

Volume #3 in this series is The Sacred Symbols of Mu, "the strange, true story of the occult origins of ancient and modern religions." The book says that "all religions have a common origin in the Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu. Evidence of this original religion dates back 170,000 years ago. Osiris (who lived 20,000 BC) and Jesus taught identically the same religion. Both learned from this ancient book. Moses condensed the forty-two questions of the Osirian religion into the Ten Commandments. The Lord's Prayer is to be found in The Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu. Jesus condensed the text to suit the languages of his day. And the Last Words of Jesus on the cross were in the language of Mu — unknown in Palestine!"

Volume #4 is The Cosmic Forces of Mu and Churchward mocks the sacred cows of modern science and reveals that biological evolution is a myth, that there is no such thing as atomic force, that all disease can be conquered by using appropriately coloured light rays, that the Earth's temperatures and seasons have become inalterably fixed in their present state and that the earth cannot be hurled off into space or drawn into the sun.

The next volume is #5, Second Book of the Cosmic Forces of Mu, and Churchward continues to draw conclusions from the ancient documents and lore of Mu to present some startling revisionist theories about the age of the earth, the nature of mountains and volcanic processes, and the Ice Age and Flood.

In the 1970s Tony Earll's Mu Revealed (one of countless books written about the sunken civilisations Atlantis, Mu and Lemuria) claimed to be "an astonishing account of the archaeological discovery that proves the existence of Mu."
From the cover: "When the Hurdlop expedition began excavating, it was with the hope of proving or disproving James Churchward's startling theories about Mu, the ancient lost continent of the Pacific ... What they found was beyond their wildest expectation — the diary of Kland, a young priest who had emigrated from Mu before its destruction! Painstakingly restored and translated, the diary scrolls provide breathtaking glimpses into the everyday life of Mu at the height of its splendid, doomed culture."
