Review: Churchward is the kind of "scholar" who gives citations like "Ancient Egyptian record". This is Edgar Rice Burroughs fantasy presented as serious history and archeology. Enjoyable as fiction, but that's as far as it goes

Summary: A hoot
Review: Hard to review this, really, but since it packages itself as "history" then I'm forced to give it one star.
Churchward was a classic crackpot of the late Victorian age. He often signed himself "Colonel" Churchward even though he never saw military service. His books on the "lost continent" of Mu are reportedly based on the "Naacal tablets" which nobody other than himself ever saw, and after he died no trace of them was found. It's generally accepted that the Naacal tablets existed only in his imagination and that all his information on Mu was made up.
The big question is whether this was a deliberate hoax or the ramblings and fantasizings of a mentally unstable man. It's hard to tell.
Churchward's books are NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, yet some people do seem to take them at face value. Please, folks, don't do that. They do have some entertainment value as classic examples of kook lit, though, and for that I might give them three stars.
PLEASE, DO NOT TAKE CHURCHWARD'S BOOKS SERIOUSLY!

Summary: My intro into anthropology...
Review: I first read Churchward's "Lost Continent of Mu" when I was about fourteen years old... It was kind of my introduction to anthropology and ancient history... I found Churchward to be a fascinating writer... He apparently was in the British army in India as a Colonel and met a "Rishi"... who told him about some ancient records guarded in some temples about a lost continent ... Actually Hindu legends does talk about an island kingdom that sank at the beginning of the Kali Yuga...Churchward also identified the flying chariots mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata as early scientific wonders... I was thoroughly entranced by Churchward and reading him influenced some of my early views about ancient civilizations... I still think there might be something to it! A more recent book that takes Churchward's line of thought and casts it in a more contemporary mode is Stephen Oppenheimer's "Eden in the East"... You might first read Churchward and then "Eden in the East"...
