Pacifida (from the English Pacific Ocean - Pacific Ocean), also the Continent of Mu (Mu) - a hypothetical sunken continent in the Pacific Ocean.

Pacifida (from the English Pacific Ocean - Pacific Ocean), also the Continent of Mu (Mu) - a hypothetical sunken continent in the Pacific Ocean.

The term "Mu" was introduced by the French abbot Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874) due to an erroneous interpretation of the Mayan manuscript (Madrid Codex). Brasseur believed that the word he read as Mu refers to land that was flooded by the disaster. Borrowed by occult writers Auguste Le-Plongeon (1825-1908) and James Churchward (1851-1936) and became the designation of the giant Pacific continent - the foremother of all world cultures.

Churchward claimed that according to the creation myth, which he read in Indian tablets, Mu was raised above sea level as a result of the expansion of underground volcanic gases. In the end, Mu "was completely destroyed almost overnight": after a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, "the shattered earth fell into this great fiery abyss" and was covered with "fifty million square miles of water."

Masaaki Kimura, professor at the Faculty of Life Sciences, Ryukyu University, Okinawa, Japan, suggested that some of the features of the underwater, located off the coast of Yonaguni Island, Japan (known as the Yonaguni Monument), are the ruins of Mu.

Next, I want to cite an excerpt from the book by A. M. Kondratov "Secrets of the Three Oceans"

“... Already the captains who discovered the island worlds of Oceania, its first explorers, were worried about the question: how, how could they get to these - sometimes separated by thousands of kilometers of the water surface of the islands and archipelagos - the people inhabiting them?

Back in the 16th century, the Spanish navigator Kyros tried to explain the mystery of the settlement of the islands of Oceania, suggesting that these islands are the remains of a large continent that once existed on the site of most of the Pacific, and the local inhabitants are descendants of the population of this continent. Many other famous seafarers adhered to this view. The most ardent defenders of the hypothesis of a sunken continent - the Pacifida - were two explorers of Oceania - the famous French navigator Dumont-Durville and his compatriot, collector of Oceanian folklore, Morenhut.
The first cited data in favor of the fact that once America and Asia were connected by a large land mass. The volcanic islands of Oceania, like Hawaiian ones, are the tops of mountain ranges that once stretched along the now extinct continent, inhabited by a large and cultured people, the last representatives of which, greatly degraded, remained on oceanic islands and islets. Morenhut, on the other hand, attracted evidence of folklore in favor of the former existence of the Pacifida, according to which a colossal catastrophe occurred in the Pacific Ocean, which sank a large land and caused the death of many people.

Menzbier wrote: “Objective data from science tell us that the Great Ocean is not as ancient as one might think. In its tropical part, it seems to have formed not earlier than the Miocene. But even later, much later, when not only a man appeared, but reached a certain degree of culture, numerous islands rose up in the bosom of his waters - some large, others smaller. "
Menzbir cited a number of facts testifying, albeit indirectly, to the former existence of land in the Pacific Ocean: these were facts of geology, ethnography, oceanography. But, perhaps, the most convincing and striking were the data of zoogeography, which is engaged in "mapping" the settlement of the inhabitants of the animal world on our planet and determining the routes of this settlement.

Back in 1764, galaxis fish was discovered in the rivers of New Zealand. This fish lives in the fresh waters of the continents and islands of the southern hemisphere, between 30 and 60 ° south latitude. It is in fresh water, because galaxis does not tolerate salt water. How could he get into the reservoirs of New Zealand, separated by hundreds and thousands of kilometers from the continents? And some other Pacific islands? Since the sea route for galaxis is categorically contraindicated, there is only one way - along the freshwater rivers that once flowed in the sunken Pacifida.

On the Galapagos Islands and on the Fiji Islands, huge lizards, iguanas, which once lived on the continents, have survived. They are useless swimmers and would hardly be able to overcome the ocean expanses. Does this mean that the islands were once connected to the land through land bridges? In the same way, many other inhabitants of the Pacific islands, be they beetles or mollusks, amphibians or ants, butterflies or decapod crayfish, could not reach them "by swimming", cross hundreds, and sometimes thousands of kilometers of the deep sea. And the same can be said about completely useless swimmers - snakes that live on many islands in the Pacific Ocean.

What then can we say about such "swimmers" as plants? Meanwhile, on the islands of Oceania, you can sometimes find the coexistence of specifically Oceanic, North American, East American, South American, Australian, Indonesian and even Antarctic flora!
