Mu, Lemuria

The mythical idea of the "Land of Mu" first appeared in the works of the British-American antiquarian Augustus Le Plongeon (1825–1908), following his investigations of the Maya ruins in Yucatán. He claimed to have translated the earliest examples of the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the K'iche' Maya, from ancient Maya into Spanish. He argued that the civilization of Yucatán was older than those of Greece and Egypt, and told the story of an even older continent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
