"These tablets, with other ancient records, bear witness to the amazing fact the civilizations of India, Babylonia, Persia, Egypt and the Yucatan [Mayans] were but the dying embers of a great past civilization." --James Churchward

In the 1920s famed researcher and occultist James Churchward wrote a series of ground breaking books about the lost continent of Lemuria which he called the land of Mu. His basic premises were that the Garden of Eden was not in the Middle East but on a sunken continent in the Pacific Ocean and the Biblical story of creation came from this now submerged continent of Mu.

In this book, James' great-grandson Jack Churchward presents an examination of previously "not publicly available" portions of James Churchward's booklet Copies of Stone Tablets Found by William Niven at Santiago Ahuizoctla Near Mexico City (1927). He also discusses James' early ideas and interpretations of the "Valley of Mexico Tablets" and reveals nine of the twenty-two tables for the first time.

James Churchward's research into the subject spanned several decades, starting from his time in India where he was taught to read the ancient Naacal tablets, a repository of wisdom from a time before our own, and his recognition that the Naacal Brotherhood also composed the tablets William Niven discovered, places their ancient wisdom and knowledge in our laps and offers the opportunity to impart the same to the reader.
