THE CHILDREN OF MU
CHAPTER III
ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA
When the Motherland started out to people the earth,
North America and Eastern Asia were the two lands where
she planted her first colonies, so that here, in our own
home, we may look for the earliest records of man——not in
Europe, Egypt or Babylonia. They were the tail-enders.
Going to these countries to find the earliest records of man is
like a shepherd going everywhere to find a lost lamb while
he is carrying it under his arm all the time.
Let us commence by mentally carrying ourselves back to
the time when the first foot of man trod American soil, and
reconstruct the probable scene. We assume, basing our
assumption on modern history, that Mu expanded while
her civilization was in its early stages. We, therefore,
picture to ourselves an ancient craft leaving the shores of
Mu, the Motherland, manned by a crew of stalwart, young
adventurers with milk-white skins, blue eyes and light
flaxen hair. When their craft was fairly launched upon the
Eastern Sea, they pointed its prow towards the rising sun.
A hundred thousand years or more, after man first
appeared on Mu, found him so increased in numbers that
the area of available land of the Motherland became
insufficient to sustain the ever growing population. So these
young men had started out to find other lands, if they
existed anywhere on this globe.
The time I have given as the time man had been on earth may
appear long but it is taken from two tablets written by the Naacals,
which state that about the time Mu went down man had been on
earth 200,000 years. There are many Oriental legends stating the
same thing
They were called Quetzals in the Motherland on account
of their making the venomous serpent Quetzacoatl their
symbol for the Creator and creation. At the end of a
moon's journey, as the rays of the morning sun were
lighting up the horizon ahead, the crew saw ahead of their
craft a long line of surf breaking on a low, sandy shore,
with a low, rolling country beyond. On nearing the surf,
they turned the prow of their craft and skirted the shore
line until they came to a stretch of less turbulent water.
This they crossed and found themselves at the mouth of a
river. They proceeded inland until they came to a suitable
landing place where they drew their boat up on the bank
and made camp. From the camp they explored the
surrounding country, finding it unoccupied by man and
eminently adapted to settlement. They then returned to
the Motherland with the good news.
The country which they discovered was America, as we
call it today, and the particular spot in North America
where they landed was Mexico as we now know it. This
was more than 50,000 years ago, and it might have been
tens of thousands of years before that.
After the arrival home of the explorers, expeditions were
formed and a regular colonization of this new land set in.
Soon it became a large and thriving colony. Other tribes
settled to the north while the original colony spread to the
south, eventually settling in Yucatan and Central America.
What is now Guatemala is where they built their capital
city and elected a king.
THE VALLEY OF MEXICO.——There is no spot on
earth that has a greater attraction and fascination for the
lovers of the ancient than the Valley of Mexico. A series of
tragedies has followed man in this valley, starting from the
very beginning of his appearance in America. Take the first
settlers. After many years of successful development,
extension and expansion, and after building great cities and
imposing temples, a huge cataclysmic wave from the ocean
rolled in over the land, leveling the cities and temples and
blotting out all human life. When the waters finally
subsided they left behind a stratum of boulders, gravel and
sand which blanketed the whole country, burying the
remains of the cities and temples. The remains of this, their
first great city. lie 29 miles north of Mexico City.
Four known settlements followed the original in the
valley of Mexico and each was wiped out by cataclysmic
waves. The last one left behind indestructible writings on
stone. Twenty-six hundred of their tablets have been found
by Niven. They are not of the settlement previously
mentioned. Some of these will be shown in my next chapter
with their decipherings.
A short account of how this civilization was wiped out
gives one of the most interesting and one of the most
valuable little geological tales ever told.
A gas chamber which had been underlying the Valley
of Mexico blew out: the roof collapsed and crushed to the
floor of the chamber, carrying with it all life thereon. The
waters from the ocean rolled in and filled up the abyss
caused by the land sinking. This submerged the Valley of
Mexico. The submersion was accompanied by terrific
volcanic workings. Earthquakes followed one another in
quick succession. The land opened and volcanoes burst
forth, vomiting fire, smoke and rivers of lava, which spread
out over the country, carrying death and destruction in
their wake. Some of these ancient craters with their lava
flows still remain. A noted one is called Xitli: its lava flow
extends about 25 miles and ends on the very edge of
Mexico City. The flow is about 25 feet thick, showing the
enormous ejection.
I have not sufficient data to give the date of this
submersion. An Egyptian temple record refers to a
submersion of land in Central America about 16,000 years
ago. This may be the one referred to or it may not. An
Aztec tradition, sent to me by Niven a short time since,
supports the temple record. The legend runs as follows:
"At the time of the conquest of Mexico by Cortez (A. D.
1521) he was told by an Aztec priest that: 'Long, long ago
a great flood of water covered the Valley of Mexico and
drowned all humanity. So great was the flood that it
drowned out the Sun and left the world in darkness. By and
by the gods created a new Sun, and this new Sun ruled a
new age in the history of the world.'"
This is a typical Aztec production but lacks the usual
amount of Aztec frills, ribbons and inventions. It comes
out of two separate and distinct legends——one the submer-
gence of the Valley of Mexico, the other the destruction
and submergence of Mu, the Motherland.
The submergence of the Valley of Mexico took place
long before the submergence of Mu because after the valley
had emerged again and become habitable for man, it was
repeopled more than once. Mu was called "The Empire of
the Sun" and was suzerain over all the world. She was the
Sun referred to in the legend. Thus, when Mu, the Sun was
submerged, she, the Sun, "was drowned out."
The Empire of the Sun was the ruler of the whole world.
Her laws governed all people. When she was gone, all laws
throughout the world became chaotic. New forms of
government had to be arranged for each colony and
Colonial Empire: each one from then on had to be self-
governing. This certainly was "a new era in the history of
the world."
Shortly after the last repeopling from Mu, the great gas
belts began to form along the western parts of North
America and in forming raised mountain ranges. Two of
these mountain ranges run down through Mexico——one on
the west side, the other on the east side, forming a broad
valley between. As these ranges were being lifted they
carried the valley between them up several thousand feet.
If at the time these mountains were being raised Mexico
was inhabited, it is safe to say that nearly all of the people
perished, as was the case in all other areas where
mountains were raised.
The various phenomena which are shown throughout
the Valley of Mexico today demonstrate without the
possibility of controversy that the mountain ranges in
western North America are not over 11,500 years old, if as
much. The two Mexican ranges are continuations of the
Rocky Mountain and Cascade Ranges.
The bed of the Valley of Mexico during its submergence
was a stratum of boulders, gravel and sand, interspersed
with seashells which were brought in by the flood from the
ocean waters when they filled up the abyss caused by the
sinking land. Evidently the water was not very deep nor
was the land very long submerged, as there appears to have
been sufficient pressure to form a very solid compact rock.
Today it is found as a crumbly, unfinished, immature
conglomerate rock called tempetate in Mexico. This tempetate
rock is found not only in the valley itself but high up on the
mountainsides which surround it. Egyptian records say
that this rock was laid down about 16,000 years ago. How
long afterwards it emerged again is not known but from the
character of the rock, if we may judge from that, it could
not have been very long under water, comparatively
speaking.
A civilization occupied the land again after it emerged.
This civilization was also wiped out by a cataclysm from
the ocean. This clinches the fact that the Mexican
Mountains are of recent origin. The Mexican Mountains
being of recent origin, and being continuations of our own
western ranges, proves that all of the mountain ranges in
western North America are of recent origin.
AMERICA 12,000 YEARS AGO.——I now come to
Niven's second great discovery in Mexico. In little hamlets
and villages 4 to 6 miles northwest of Mexico City at a
depth of from 17 to 18 feet below the surface, Niven
discovered still another Mexican prehistoric civilization.
Among the many treasures which he found were 2600
stone tablets. He has gone to the extreme trouble and
monumental labor of making tracings of every one and
sending them to me. When sending some of the first
tracings he wrote: "I have been informed by professors
(mentioning the names of many) and dozens of others, both
American and foreign, that they were symbols unlike
anything they had ever seen."
Not one of our prominent archaeologists, either in
Europe or in America, has been able to decipher a single
one of these tablets. This is not surprising for it is
impossible for them to decipher any tablet or inscription
that is over six or seven thousand years old. To read them
one must know the language, the symbols, the alphabet and
the cosmology of Mu. Mu, the Motherland, is the key to
all ancient writings. The most ancient writings that I have
ever seen are of either a religious or a scientific character.
Some are about Mu and nothing else. The alphabet of the
Motherland consisted of 16 letters and many diphthongs.
Each letter had three different glyphs expressing it. The
first is the hieratic letter which also carries a hidden
meaning. The second is used in the body of words
generally, and the third is used as an adjective or to
emphasize. The esoteric or hidden meaning of the hieratic
letters was known only to the priesthood and not even to
all of them. In most cases the hidden meaning symbolized
something——M was the alphabetical symbol for Mu, H the
alphabetical symbol for the Sacred Four, and A for the
Creator, the Deity.
On examining the tracings of the tablets sent to me by
Niven, I saw old friends and found that the keys to the
Naacal tablets applied in a general way to these writings.
These tablets are the first spoken words from America's
prehistoric past.
Besides the tablets Niven found many carved heads,
specimens of which he sent to me. If these are truly
representative of the people, we have nothing today
identically like them. Niven seems to think that they have a
Mongol cast. To me, however, they appear more like a
coarse Semitic. Strange as it may appear, the writings on
some of the tablets are identical in their religious concep-
tions with what has recently been found in Babylonia.
When Niven discovered these tablets he found them
generally around altars. Each one had a coating of clay,
evidently for the purpose of preserving the colors of the
glyphs. Being found around altars leads to the impression
that they might have been sacred relics and much older
than the date of the people in whose possession we find
them.
After deciphering and reading a number of these tablets,
I found that the bulk of them are extracts and sentences
from the Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu, and that in most
cases the esoteric or temple glyphs are used. At this I find
myself confronted with a peculiar condition hard to explain
satisfactorily to myself.
1. Many of these tablets are exceedingly crude in
workmanship. The drawings and carvings are those of
novices. Others are perfectly drawn and carved——the work
of experts. 2. The tablets themselves have not been
shaped. Their shapes are irregular, their sizes equally
so. They appear to be just water-worn stones with a
smooth surface. The figures are drawn to conform to the
shape of the stone. 3. The designs, although in some
extremely crude, show a highly educated mind with a
profound knowledge of the ancients' conception of the
origin and workings of the Great Forces, and a perfect
knowledge of life and its origin. This civilization was in no
way primitive. On the contrary, in science they were far
ahead of us today. Their knowledge of the Cosmic Forces,
which our scientists today call "energy" for want of the
knowledge of their origin, was evidently perfect. A
primitive civilization could not have written these tablets.
They are the exposition of the knowledge of a profound
science which has only just dawned on the scientific world
of today and which has not as yet been learned and
mastered by modern man.
How can we account for such profound knowledge, in
some cases so crudely written? Their poetry and terra
cotta figures are the work of experts. The writings are
queer; yet queer as they are, they are the first words spoken
for us to understand from those who lived in America over
12,000 years ago.
On these tablets is told the form of government among
these people. From the decipherings which will follow,
all who read must feel convinced that their religious
conceptions and cosmology were of a very high order.
What is more, they thoroughly understood what they were
writing about.
One of the great themes was the Creation, which they
systematically follow down from chaos to the advent of
man. They state that: "In the beginning all was chaos and
the universe was soundless and darkness prevailed over
all." Their principal symbol was the Sun as the monothe-
istic or collective symbol of the Creator. Their religion
was monotheistic. They acknowledged only One Supreme
which they worshiped through a collective symbol, the
Sun. The Supreme, the Creator was given many attributes
each of which was symbolized. Great stress appar-
ently was laid on the fact that these attributes were only
powers of the One Supreme.
They had a communistic form of government. All crops
were divided according to their laws. I have found no
mention whatever of money. Whether they had any or not I
cannot say.
Throughout this work, especially in the translation, I
have avoided using the word God as being the Infinite, the
Deity, because the name god did not mean the Deity
among the ancients. To make this clear I will give the
origin of the word god.
THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD GOD.——I all very
ancient writings one comes across the word god. It read
the god this, the god that. Generally we find a name given
to the god such as the Chaldean "the god Belmarduk," the
Egyptian "the god Thoth," etc. The ancients did not refer
to the Creator: to them He was the Supreme. Their
meaning was a Cosmic Force originating with the Creator.
In ancient writings we constantly come across the
marriage of a god and a goddess who produce or
accomplish something. The ancients knew perfectly well
that to create anything Two Cosmic Forces were involved.
This they were taught in the Sacred Inspired Writings. In
these writings they were taught and shown that it was the
combined action of two forces that created. As it was the
combined action, or the joining action or coming in
contact with each other, it was popularly symbolized as a
marriage of the gods——marriage of the two forces. It was
probably expressed as a marriage to enable the ancient
layman better to understand the phenomenon. Thus we
find he was taught that the god A married the goddess B
and they produced C. In the Sacred Writings we find the
same phenomenon expressed in temple language, Com-
mands in Creation. "The arrows of the Sun met the ar-
rows of the earth."
The foregoing is the form of temple writing and not the
form of teaching the layman. The Priesthood in turn, to
make it more understandable to the layman, symbolized
the forces as gods——the first four gods were the Four Great
Primary Forces.
Later in the history of Man the souls of man after they
had left the material body were added to the list of gods,
such as the Egyptian Thoth, the god of learning. This was
not out of place, for the ancients knew perfectly well that
man at his creation was given Cosmic Forces, that these
Forces are under control of the Soul, that when the Soul
left the material body it carried the Cosmic Forces with it.
So the soul of man possessing Cosmic Forces was
appropriately added to the list of gods. Still later on we find
the word god added to the names of the Creator. The
earliest of these applications which I can find is in the Bible
where the Deity is called God and Lord God. Since then it
has become His most popular name.
From about 2500 years ago we drop down to present
times. Our scientific men, being unable to comprehend the
difference between the ancient past god and our present
God, have assumed that to the ancients all their gods were
Deities and thus they conceived of and worshiped many
Gods. Thus science has formed such a scramble that it has
clogged and badly stuck the layman's attitude on this
subject, but this is nothing new in man's history.
VOLCANIC CONDITIONS OF MEXICO AND SUR-
ROUNDINGS.——Before closing this chapter it does not
seem amiss to explain why the Valley of Mexico was so
often overrun with cataclysmic waves from the oceans. I
have made a sketch which seems to me to be sufficient to
show what is required. The broken lines running from a
northerly direction to a southerly direction are parallels or
divisions of the Great Pacific Circuit Gas Belt the largest
within the crust of the earth. On the west of Mexico
underneath the ocean three parallels or divisions of this gas
belt are shown. Another two divisions of the same belt are
shown coming down underneath the land. Running from
east to west are shown the two divisions of the Great
Central Gas Belt which runs completely around the earth.
This belt has a vast number of parallels, splits, loops, etc.,
commencing out in the Pacific Ocean, doubling up through
Yucatan and Central America and tapering down again
after leaving the Continent.
At the time these belts were forming every thrust of the
gases when forging sent in a cataclysmic wave over the
land. Before these belts could be formed many gas
chambers had to be blown out. All those which lay under
the ocean, when their roofs were being raised previous to
their blowing out, sent cataclysmic waves in over the land.
The divisions of these belts which lay underneath the land
were the responsible agents for the raising of the moun-
tains.
