AVIATION IN 10,000 B.C. ! * —, . Lieut.-Colonel James Churchward,, of Mount Vernon, New York, announces (according to the "Evening Despatch") that the astonishing contents of 125 tablet? discovered in India, and translated by himself and other Buddhist scholars, show that the motherland of mankind was in a tropical continent larger than North America, known as Mu, which went to the bottom of the Pacific with the inhabitants and their templed cities 13,000 years ago. Tho tablets say that the Garden of JSdcn was in that continent more than 50,000 years ago, and not in Asia or Asia Minor. Colonel Churchward, who is described as formerly of-the British Army, educated at Oxford, declares that the original civilisation of the Empire of the Sun, Mu, its hieratical or religious name, was perhaps tlie greatest that ever existed. The ancients of 10,(R)0 years or more ago, he continues, were in possession of great secrets lost to subsequent civilisation during many centuries. Armies of 10,000 H.C. in India, the records state, had flying machines that would carry scores of men. These aerial vehicles were propelled by engines of great simplicity that employed natural forces suoh as science to-day is seeking to harness. There is a record of tho General Ramchimder having flown from tho capital of Ceylon to Northern India in such a machine, one of a kind that was also employed to drop bombs on Ciities in wartime. Tho people of that day also employed gunpowder and firearms.
