![]() ![]() James Churchward’s idea of Mu was that of a perfect human civilization that spread throughout the world, after a major catastrophe that destroyed the landmass, creating what people know to be ancient civilizations like Egypt and Maya. His translations backed the information that Bourbourg had gained from the original translations. Alongside Bourbourg’s translations, Churchward conducted some of his own translations of clay tablets he received from an Indian priest. Many of Churchward’s ideas originated from Bourbourg’s mistranslation of the codex and Plangeon’s writings. Churchward traveled throughout the Pacific and its surrounding landmasses seeking to discover information about the original human civilization Mu. The continent extended from Mangia to Hawaii and reached from Easter Island and the Marianas.

He claimed that because there were similar symbols seen in all ancient civilizations they all originated in one place, the lost civilization Mu. He believed that this lost civilization was not only the origin of the founders of these civilizations but also that the ancient civilization of Mu was the source of ancient megalithic architecture. He explained this theory by creating an ancient continent by the name of Mu where individuals from this lost continent, that was submerged by a major catastrophe, were refugees that spread across the world and created civilizations like Egypt, Greece, India, Burma, and Easter Island. Augustus Le Plongeon's Mu Le Plongeon claimed that through his translations of Mayan writings, he discovered that the Maya were older than the ancient civilizations of Greece and Egypt. While Bourbourg was a respected man during his time, many of his colleagues questioned him when he released writing on the translations and his theories about the Maya and Atlantis. The Troiano Codex has since been decoded and actually translates to information on astrology. Although he believed he correctly translated the Mayan codex, it was later discovered to be a part of the Troiano Codex. Bourbourg wrote about the relationship between the ancient Maya, Le Plongeon’s field of study, and Atlantis, and while translating an ancient Mayan codex, discovered the continent Mu. Le Plongeon took the name Mu from French writer and priest Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg. Augustus Le Plongeon traveled through Yucatan and studied the ancient Maya civilization, leading him to theorize about the history of the ancient Mayan civilization.
