subcontinent. “Kumara” is a title, “The Forever-Young Boy,” referring to the
androgynous Murrugan, another god whose spiritual principles Agastyr brought
from Kumari Nadu.
Murrugan was a savior-deity some investigators (Mark Pinkham, Kersey
Graves, etc.) believe was a model upon which the myth of Christ was fashioned.
As a sage of Murrugan, Agastyr was referred to as “the Son of Mitra”; mitrameans
“contract” or “friendship” with God. As such, Murrugan’s influence on Mithraism,
phonetically and philosophically, is apparent. No less so is Murrugan’s philological
relationship with Mu, where his concept originated. His Kumari Nadu, or “Land
of the Kumara,” is an Indian version of Lemuria.
(See Rawana)Silustani
A pre-Inca ceremonial area located not far from the shores of Bolivia’s Lake
Titicaca. It features a skillfully laid-out circle of standing stones unlike anything
comparable in South America, but strongly reminiscent of megalithic sites common
in Western Europe. More famous are the Chulpas of Silustani. These are enormous,
well-made towers archaeologists believe, on paltry evidence, were used exclusively
for funerary purposes. The Chulpas bear an uncanny resemblance to equally massive
stone towers standing under 100 feet of water in the Sea of Korea, off Japan’s
western coast, approximating the island of Okinoshima. Connections between the
Okinoshima structures and those on land, near water at Silustani, are suggested
through the lost, intermediary civilization of Mu, although early Atlantean influences
may also be present, as evidenced in the anomalous stone circle.Sing Bonga
Sky-god of the Mundaris, a tribe from Chota Nagpur, West Bengal, in central
India. He covered the Earth with streams of “fire water” to wipe out a sinful
mankind. Only a brother and sister were saved when Sing Bonga put a serpent in
the sky, which, puffing itself up, turned into a rainbow and shielded the children
from the last drops of the deluge.
The Inca and pre-Inca peoples of South America likewise associated a rainbow
“sky-serpent” with the great deluge which brought successive waves of culture-
bearers from over the sea after the destruction of their island kingdom. So too,
the biblical account of Noah’s Flood has Yahweh put a rainbow into the sky as a
sign that the deluge was ended.Siriadic Columns
Thaut, or Thoth, set up two columns—one of brick, the other of stone—on
which were inscribed a pre-deluge history. They were meant to survive both fire
and flood, and erected “in the Siriadic land,” a reference to Egypt, where the
