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 tablets 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. The tablets say that the Garden of Eden 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 orininal civilisation of the Empire of the Sun. Mu, its hieratical 0.~ religious name, was perhaps the greatest that ever existed. The ancients of 10,000 years or more ago, he continues, were in possession of great secrets lost to subsequent civilisation during many centuries. Annies ef 10,INK) B.C. in India, the records state, had flying machines that wn Id caicv score* rf men.

These aerial vehicles were propelled by engines of great simplicity that employed natural forces such as science ta-dn.v is seeking to harness. There is a record of the General Ramchander having flown from the capital of Ceylon to Northern India, in such a machine, one of a kind that was also employed to drop bombs on cities in wartime. The people of that day also employed gunpowder and firearms.
