The Lost Continent of Mu (Lemuria)
Approximately 160,000 years ago, a great spaceship from a far-off planet called Lemuria landed somewhere
in the vicinity of the Himalayan Mountains. The ship was badly damaged, and there were eleven Supermasters
assigned us from this great planet who were unharmed and unhurt by the impact of the ship upon the earth’s
surface. They emerged and later built an amphibious vessel from the remnants of the ship and were able to
travel over land and water with this ship. They embarked upon a journey which brought them out to a
great continent, which was called Lemuria, which has long since sunk beneath the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
This great continent embodied land, which was in itself almost as large as two-thirds of the continent of North
America. The sinking of this continent left only the islands: the Easter Islands, the Polynesian Islands, the
Hawaiian Islands and other archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean.
When these Masters emerged upon this continent, they proceeded to build a civilization. In going about the earth,
they found the ten tribes of people as they were described in the Bible – people who were rather primitive, living as
they did in caves or in wattled huts in various sections of the earth. They returned from time to time with some of
these people and began instructing them in the art of how to live a true spiritual life. As these Masters, in themselves,
lived tremendously long lives, even into the thousands of years, they proceeded along these lines to teach these people
a constructive spiritual way of life, and to integrate the lives of these people together in a constructive fashion so that
an intelligent pattern of life could be expressed in the building of various dwellings, the temples, and other various
and sundry edifices in this great and new building civilization of Lemuria.— excerpted from the book: Tempus Invictus,
Ch. 29 “The True Adam & Eve Story” , by Ernest L. Norman.
James Churchward (1851–1936), inspired and guided by his inner and Higher Self, attempted to describe the civilization of Mu, its history, inhabitants, and influence on subsequent history and civilizations.
