¿And Mu? ¿Real or a child-story? Increase Your PM Length

After this Atlantis-Aztlan "disaster of the myth", I'll ask you for resolve the Mu (and Lemuria Empire) mistery. Scientifics & archeologists have found some strange rests of vases and other objects in the south of the Ryu-Kyu Islands (Japan, the biggest one is Okinawa). They are'nt japanese or chinese or ainu, are totally unique.

The existence of Mu is most possible, it probably existed in a volcanic island (remember: Japan-Shikoku, Japan-Kyushu, Japan-South-Hounshu, Japan-West-Hokkaido and Iceland exist using volcanoes in its construction ), in the eastern asiatic zone volcanoes are really usual, they're in the Pacific ring of fire tectonic subtuction-contact zone.

So, could be able that the legend of Mu have traspassed the Pacific and arrive at the aztecs as Aztlan?

Note about Atlantis: Aztlan -> Aztec, is curious that the originary people
from the mesoamerican plateau normally had a -ac suphix (Toltec, Olmec, Aztec). Why -lan? Anybody knows why? I believe that the other name of the aztecs (mexica) is more similar to "Aztla" A mix of Mexica and Aztec?

Answers please!!!!!!!

Put an end to popups!

You forgot about Pohnpei stone city, Xarxo... pretty interesting, too.
A couple of things to point out.

1) Reading about Yueh cities, I learned about a megalithic stone culture that ranged from Madagascar to Maldive and Southern India, and then Siam, Kampuchea and pre Dong-Son southern Viet Nam ( closely related to Champa ancestors ? ).

2) There's an evidence of an ancient people, linked to a sun ancestral religion, that linked distant places from Egypt to Japan.

I think this can be an interesting starting point.

Any other want to discuss about this ?

I don't know how but I hadn't seen this thread till today

I confess I hadn't ever heard a word about Mu (Lemuria only rings a bell). That's why I've been searching around and this is what I've found:
http://atlantisrising.com/issue13/ar13japanunder.html http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf121/sf121p01.htm http://artalpha.anu.edu.au/web/arc/...cult/aocult.htm http://www.okinawatimes.co.jp/ad/summit/doe/016.html

However most of them aren't very reliable

According to the link below, in Nahuatl:

Azt- = heron (=garza)
-tlan = place (full) of
-tecatl = person from the given place

Thus:

Aztecatl = Someone from Aztlan
