A story from 1901 involving anthropologist Sir Aurel Stein describes the discovery of a sealed library in the Himalayas known as the Library of a Thousand Buddhas. Inside, a map over 800 years old reportedly depicted Atlantis as a global empire and "Mu" (Lemuria) as a submerged continent in the Pacific. LaCroix points to giant limestone pillars in Tonga and the Mariana Islands as physical remnants of the Mu civilization. He argues that the existence of large landmasses in the Atlantic and Pacific would have made global travel significantly easier for ancient mariners.

Author James Churchward claimed to have deciphered ancient tablets in India describing Mu as the birthplace of humanity. His research suggested deep connections between the Maya, India, and Tibet, potentially linked by ancient Pacific travel. Topographical maps indicate that if sea levels were lowered by 300 feet, the Hawaiian Islands would form a single landmass, supporting the theory that Hawaii was part of a larger continent.
