mounds, and ceremonial structures. Its name and ancient artifacts are associ-
ated with the lost Pacific Ocean civilization of the same name.Mu-ah

Mount Mu-ah may have been chosen by Lemurian adepts for the celebration of
their religion, and regarded as holy ever since by native peoples.
(See Shoshone)Muck, Otto Heinrich
Austrian physicist (University of Innsbruck) who invented the snorkel, enabling
U-boats to travel under water without surfacing to recharge their batteries, thereby
escaping enemy detection in World War II. He later helped develop German
rocketry on the research island of Peenemunde, in the Baltic Sea. Published at the
time of his death in 1965, The Secret of Atlantis was internationally acclaimed for
its scientific evaluation of Plato’s account, helped revive popular interest in the
lost civilization, and remains one of the most important books on the subject.Mu Cord
An ancient Lemurian flying vehicle described in Tibetan traditions.
(See Lemuria, Vimana)Mu-Da-Lu
Celebrated in Taiwanese folk tradition as the capital of a magnificent
kingdom, an ancestral homeland, now at the bottom of the sea. Like Atlantis,
Mu-Da-Lu was supposed to have been ringed by great walls of red stone.
Legend seemed confirmed by an underwater find made by Professor We Miin
Tian, from the Department of Marine Engineering at National Sun Yat Sen
University, in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. During August, 2002, he discovered a wall
standing about 4 feet high, perpendicular to the seafloor. The stone structure is
approximately 30 feet long, and 60 feet beneath the surface, among the Pescadores
Islands, near the Pen-hu Archipelago, between the small islands of Don-Jyu and
Shi-Hyi-Yu, 40 miles west of Taiwan. Twenty years before Professor Tian’s
discovery, another scuba diver from Taiwan, Steven Shieh, found a pair of consis-
tently 15-foot high stone walls underwater near Hu-ching, or “Tiger Well Island.”
At estimated 2,000 feet long, they run at right angles to each other, one oriented
north/south; the other, east/west, terminating in a large, circular structure.
