He was most notable for proposing the existence of a lost continent, called “Mu,” in the Pacific Ocean.
Churchward was born on February 27, 1851 in Bridestow, Okehampton, Devon at Stone House to Henry and Matilda (née Gould) Churchward. He had four brothers and four sisters. Following his father’s death in 1854, the family moved in with his mother’s parents in the hamlet of Kigbear, near Okehampton. Churchward worked as a tea planter in Sri Lanka before moving to the United States in the 1890s. He patented NCV Steel, armour plating to protect ships during World War I, and other steel alloys. In 1914 he retired to his estate on Lake Wononskopomuc in Lakeville, Connecticut, to answer the questions from his Pacific travels. In 1926, at the age of 75, he published The Lost Continent of Mu: Motherland of Man, which he claimed proved the existence of a lost continent, called Mu, in the Pacific Ocean. He published several further books on the subject, including The Children of Mu (1931), The Sacred Symbols of Mu (1933), Cosmic Forces of Mu (1934), and Second Book of Cosmic Forces of Mu (1935), in which he seeks to describe the civilisation of Mu, its history, inhabitants, and influence on subsequent history and civilisation.
