Origin Myths of Mu

Beneath the surface of history lies a deeper current — the legend of Mu, a lost Pacific homeland said to be the cradle of all civilization. Origin Myths of Mu explores the echoes of this vanished world, not as mere fantasy, but as myth, memory, and cultural inheritance. From Polynesian stories of Hawaiki to Tamil legends of Kumari Kandam, from the ruins of Nan Madol to the mysteries of Easter Island, myths of drowned continents and forgotten motherlands resound across the globe. These tales speak of catastrophic floods, sunken lands, and migrations that shaped humanity's imagination — stories that mirror real geological upheavals and rising seas at the end of the Ice Age. Blending archaeology, geology, mythology, and spirituality, this book traces how Mu has been remembered and reimagined: as James Churchward's "Motherland of Man," as a New Age Eden of harmony and light, and as an enduring archetype of paradise lost. In Mu we find more than a sunken continent — we find humanity's longing for origins, unity, and a home beyond time. Origin Myths of Mu is both an exploration and an invitation: to listen to the voices of myth, to read the symbols carved in stone and memory, and to recognize that even if Mu never existed as land, it endures as one of humanity's most powerful stories of who we are and where we come from.
