Mu

Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Augustus Le Plongeon's 1896 primary claim source for his Maya–Egypt diffusion narrative and Queen Móo construction; claim genealogy only, not a valid reading of Maya inscriptions.

What this usage does not establish

Supporting citation for public claim

The catalog traces the recognizable Mu claim to modern writings by Le Plongeon and Churchward rather than to an ancient Pacific source.

Answer / theory: The modern Mu claim is not an ancient tradition in the form usually presented. It comes mainly from Le Plongeon and Churchward. What supports it: The source trail points to nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers. What is weak or disputed: Some writers try to connect Mu to older myths, but the direct source chain is modern. Evidence level: Strong Evidence for modern source origin.
