Book Description
The Lost Mu Civilization in the Pacific Ocean is a book that directly pits the enduring legend of Mu against the hard evidence of modern archaeology.
Author Stephanie K. L. Lam traces the myth of a lost Pacific civilization from its 19th-century origins through its rise in esoteric circles, and then beyond the debunking into the genuine wonders of the Pacific that the myth has long overshadowed.
Lam guides readers through the megalithic stone cities of Nan Madol and the remarkable true history of Oceania’s seafaring peoples, offering a narrative that replaces fantasy with a truth that is, as the book argues, far more compelling. The book does not simply ask what we believe about Mu it explores why we need such myths, and what humanity’s hunger for origin stories reveals about our own world.
