The Madrid Codex In a section of the late Mayan period Madrid Codex that is sometimes called the Troano Codex, fanciful archaeologists in the days before Mayan glyphs had been translated thought they were able to interpret illustrations as "records" of a continent in the Pacific, destroyed by volcanic activity. (That was the origin of the Mu-Story.) Supposedly, a similar legend has been translated from unspecified "Sanskrit tablets" that describe a continent called Rutas, by the french writer Louis Jacolliot.
- This was part of the article on Lemuria. After changing the Rutas redirect to Louis Jacolliot, I decided to delete it there, since it would belong here. --Zara1709 10:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Mu... est-ce que tu peux me donner une image pour mon projet pour "ATlantis"? Merci!
I think the page should have a better division to subtitles. Now the text for example suddendly jumps to describe Mu in fiction and art. I, however, am too incompetent to do this.
- Done. It even jumped from semi-fiction, to pure fiction, to geologist criticism, and back to fiction. --GunnarRene 17:56, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Geologists maintain that we may be quite certain that no such Pacific continent existed. What? What kind of sentence is that?
[edit] CT
Small item: I noticed that Chrono Trigger was added as an appearance in other works. I'm pretty sure I know that game backwards and forwards (or used to anyway) and I don't recall any Mu references. There's a creature called a "Nu." Perhaps there's a land mass on the global map located where Mu suppossingly was? I'd just like some clarification, and I don't want to edit the page without it.
I read a spanish book a while ago which claimed to have proof.Rocks with information on dinosaurs.
by the way these rocks where found somewhere in peru.
[edit] Augustus Le Plongeon, Mu, Atlantis, and the Mayas
It says Augustus Le Plongeon held that the Mayas were older than Atlantis, and that the survivors of Mu's destruction founded Maya civilization... but then it says Le Plongeon thought Mu was Atlantis. This doesn't hang together. (Also, the bracketed footnote with the name of the section's author doesn't seem to conform to Wikipedia policy.) 71.82.214.160 03:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
