The Continent of Mu is a mythical civilization claimed to have sunk 14,000 years ago. Allegedly, this continent is located between the continents of Asia and America. It is a much larger continent than the continent of Australia. The Continent of Mu, where a great and advanced civilization lived, sank as a result of a disaster. Those who left the continent, on the other hand, formed civilizations like Atlantis, which is said to have sunk.
Discussions about the existence of the continent, which has been the subject of research for many years, continue. According to some, this continent is just a legend, according to others, there are many evidences proving the existence of the continent. It is said that the continent, which sank as a result of a flood, caused the death of 64 million people. Even this flood Prophet Noah zIt is said that there was a great flood that took place at the time.

Initial Findings and Claims About the Continent of Mu
The first research on the Continent of Mu is based on the researches of a British officer and traveler, James Churchward, in Tibet. Churchward made the findings of the continent the subject of 5 of his books. In his research, he learned the language of the Naacal Tablets he found in Tibetan temples from the priests there in 12 years and translated the tablets. He describes the information he learned from the tablets about the existence of the Continent of Mu in his books.
According to the claim first made by James Churchward, a very advanced civilization lived on this continent located in the Pacific Ocean. Although there are many documents and findings related to the existence of the continent, there are not yet widespread opinions among archaeologists to prove its existence. It is said that “our continent sank, we fled here” on the inscriptions of those who fled from the continent to China, India and South Asian countries. It has been proven by carbon tests that the tablets on which this information is written are 14 thousand years old. According to Churchward, the 2600 tablets discovered during excavations near Mexico were written in the Naga-Maya language he had learned in Tibet.

In Churchward’s work, the continent is located in the great Ocean, between the Continent of Asia and the Continent of America. The continent is shown several times the size of Australia. Hawaii is located in the north of the continent, Fiji and the Easter Islands are located in the south. All of the islands that make up the archipelago of Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Fiji, and Hawaii today are considered to be remnants of land from this continent.
According to Churchward, people living on the continent believe in a monotheistic religion. The word “Ra” in the inscriptions means sun. The sun, which is expressed with circles and symbols, symbolizes the only god. The Mu empire is expressed by the name “Ra-Mu” meaning “the sun of Mu”. The Mu civilization, which was very technologically advanced, established colonies on other continents. The most well-known of these colonies are the advanced civilizations of India, Babylon, Persia, Egypt and Maya. The largest colony of civilization is the Uyghur empire, which is located in the Gobi Desert today. The inscriptions showing that the Uyghur empire was connected with the Mu continent also base the origin of the Turks on the Mu Continent.

Churchward explained some sources that he used and claimed to support his thesis. These; The “Troano Manuscript”, an ancient Mayan book in the British Museum, the “Codex of Cortesianus”, the Mayan book in the National Museum of Madrid, the “Lhassa Document” found by Paul Schlieman in a Buddhist temple in Tibet, the inscriptions in the Temple of Uxmal in Yucatan , the Xochicalo Pyramid inscriptions, located 96 km southwest of Mexico City, are the data of Perezianus and Dresden.
Inscriptions, tablets and these inscriptions are accepted as Churchward’s most uncontroversial evidence. However, the fact that they are narratives is not accepted as scientific data to support this theory. Based on their knowledge of plate tectonics, scientists have determined that the Continent of Mu, Atlantis agreed that it is a legend like the continent of According to plate tectonics, researches were made on the rocks at the bottom of the oceans and no rocks were found to prove the continent. Research on the Continent of Mu, which is considered a legend today, is still ongoing.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s Researches on the Continent of Mu
There are rumors that the origin of the Turks came from the Continent of Mu. For this reason, a team was established at the time of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s instruction and the continent was researched. Tahsin Mayatepek was appointed as Turkey’s embassy to Mexico in 1935 at Atatürk’s request. The reason for this assignment is to investigate the relationship between the Continent of Mu, the Mayans and the Turks.
Mayatepek prepared a report on Churchward’s books in 1936 and presented it to Atatürk. Thereupon, Atatürk had these books brought and presented to 60 translators in parts and translated into Turkish. The presented reports also contain information about the Mayan language and culture. Mayans When culture is examined, it has been determined that many words are the same in Turkish and Mayan languages. Apart from words, it has been determined that the Mayan culture is close to the Turkish culture. Even their religious ceremonies, worship and temples are similar.

Theories About the Continent of Mu
Concerning the continent, located near the Japanese island of Okinawa in 2015 Yonaguni Underwater Expeditions has been the subject of controversy. In the discovery made, pyramid-like rocks were found at the bottom of the ocean. It has been claimed that these structures are a mausoleum or a city, but no conclusion has been reached.
There are common claims about the extinction of the Continent of Mu and the Continent of Atlantis. One of them is the sinking of both continents as a result of a tsunami caused by a severe earthquake 14 thousand years ago. Another of the allegations is; A very large meteor violently crashed into the Continent of Mu. As a result of the meteor impact, the Pacific trench was formed and very little remains of the Mu Continent. This theory is not supported by the fact that other continents were not affected by this impact and there is no geological evidence.
Another theory put forward is that a war broke out between two civilizations and advanced weapons were used in this war. Advanced weapons caused a great heat shock, which caused earthquakes and tsunamis. For this reason, it sank on both continents and disappeared. In addition, these continents set up partners with God and went further in rage and perversion. He was involved in the operation of natural events, abused technology and was punished by God for this reason.
