A letter from Professor Rosen:

Master Seals,

The world-renowned archeologist, Professor Rosen, needs your help. He has long been searching for proof of the lost continent of Mu. Recently he made a discovery underwater. He has removed the overburden on the site but cannot properly survey the site by himself. He has invited you to join him at the dive site to help. You will be required to use a proper grid system to draw the site and photograph the major finds. If possible, he will ask you to raise artifacts to the surface so attempts can be made to identify them as belonging to Mu. This is an exciting opportunity to be present when proof of the existence of an ancient civilization may be found. Please let us know if you will be joining the expedition. We will meet on Friday, March 9^th at the Clayton Center, 50 Gay, Clayton, MO at 6:30 pm.

Some Background:

Information provided by Professors Rosen and Catalano:

Mu is the name of a continent that existed in one of Earth's oceans, but disappeared at the beginning of human history.

Mu first appeared in the works of Augustus Le Plongeon (1825–1908), a 19th century traveler and writer, after his investigations of the Maya ruins in Yucatán. He claimed that he had translated ancient Mayan writings, which showed that the Maya were older than the later civilizations of Greece and Egypt. He claimed that refugees from Mu created several ancient civilizations, such as those of Egypt and Mesoamerica.

The existence of Mu was disputed in Le Plongeon's time. Until our recent underwater discovery reopened the question, scientists had dismissed Mu.

Le Plongeon actually got the name "Mu" from a translation of the Troano Codex. Le Plongeon believed that a word that he read as Mu referred to a land submerged by a catastrophe.

"In our journey westward across the Atlantic we shall pass in sight of that spot where once existed the pride and life of the ocean, the Land of Mu, which, at the epoch that we have been considering, had not yet been visited by the wrath of Humen, that lord of volcanic fires to whose fury it afterward fell a victim. The description of that land given to Solon by Sonchis, priest at Sais; its destruction by earthquakes, and submergence, recorded by Plato in his Timaeus, have been told and retold so many times that it is useless to encumber these pages with a repetition of it".

Le Plongeon claimed that Queen Moo, a refugee from Mu, founded the civilization of ancient Egypt. Other refugees supposedly fled to Central America and became the Mayans. Le Plongeon claimed that "more than fifty years ago," while he was a soldier in India, he befriended a high-ranking temple priest who showed him a set of ancient clay tablets, in a long lost language used in the Troano Codex. Having mastered the language Le Plongeon found out that they originated from "the place where [man] first appeared—Mu." Le Plongeon claimed that Mu was the common origin of the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Central America. As evidence for his claims, he pointed to symbols from throughout the world, in which he saw common themes of fish and horses, the relation of the Earth and the sky, and especially the Sun. Le Plongeon claims the king of Mu was Ra and he relates this to the Egyptian god of the sun, Ra. He claimed to have found symbols of the Sun in “Egypt, Babylonia, Peru and all ancient lands and countries – it was a universal symbol.”

Le Plongeon claimed to have found two artifacts that he traced back to Mu. The first, seen below, was found in a private collection.

Note the fish emblem found on the pot, which Le Plongeon claimed to be a characteristic symbol of Mu.

The horse symbol also found on the pot is again characteristic of Mu.

The second, found in a museum in Paris, is an unusual vessel of a shape found in the Troano Codex.

Le Plongeon stated his belief that the buildings of Mu included decorated columns. He claimed the columns in this photo originated in Mu.

Recent translations of the Troano Codex have shown it to be the laws of a civilization called Mu. Le Plongeon and others have agreed to the meaning of the following Mu symbols:

δ – A λ - N

β – B σ - O

ζ – C ϑ - P

Ø –D Σ - R

æ – E ς - S

Γ – F ¥ - T

ρ – G § - U

≈ - H α - V

ι – I ψ - W

φ – J μ - Y

ϕ – K

Į - L
