A Chumash village in southern California: “place (gu) near water,” signifying
“beach,” although its actual meaning is more likely, “Place near (or toward) Mu.”
Variations of “Mu” are more common among the Chumash than any other Native

Pacific civilization of Mu. Mu Kung was an
earlier version of Hsi Wang Mu, likewise as-
sociated with immortality. He dwelt in a golden
palace beside the Lake of Gems, where a
blessed peach tree provided fruit from which

Chinese explorers actually went in search of
the elixir at Yonaguni, a Japanese island where
a sunken citadel dated to the 11th millennium
B.C. was discovered in 1985. Yonaguni is also
known for cho-me-gusa, a plant still revered
by the islanders because of its alleged life-
extending properties. Moreover, the Japanese
myth of “peach boy” concerns a sunken palace
of gold, where he never ages.
Chronologist Neil Zimmerer writes that
Mu Kung “formed a special group of eight
humans, who were given fruits from the Tree
of Life. They were known as the ‘Immortals.’”
