The Great Uighur Empire
(From the book of The Children of Mu )
by James Churchward
The Great Uighur Empire was the largest and most
important colonial empire belonging to Mu, The
Empire of the Sun. Next to Mu herself, the
Uighur Empire was the largest empire the world
has ever known.
The eastern boundary of the Uighur Empire was the
Pacific Ocean. The western boundary was about
where Moscow in Russia now stands, with outposts
extending through the central parts of Europe to
the Atlantic Ocean. The northern boundary in
undefined by record but probably extended to the
Artic Ocean in Asia. The southern boundary was
Cochin China, Burma, India, and a part of Persia.
The history of the Uighurs is the history of the
Aryan races, for all of the true Aryans races
descended from Uighur forefathers. The Uighurs
formed chains of Settlements across the central
parts of Europe back in Tertiary Times. After
the Empire was destroyed by the great magnetic
cataclysm and mountain rising, the surviving
remnants of humanity or their descendants again
formed settlements in Europe. This was during
the Pleistocene Time. The slaves, Tautens,
Celts, Irish, Bretons and Basques are all
descended from Uighur stock. The Bretons,
Basques, and genuine Irish are the descendants of
those who survived the magnetic cataclysm and
mountain raising.
At the time the Uighur Empire was at its peak,
the mountain had not been raised and what is now
the Gobi Desert was a rich well-watered plain.
Here the capital city of the Uighurs was
situated, almost due south from Lake Baikal. In
1896 a party of explorers, upon information
Received in Tibet, visited the site of the
ancient city of Khara Khota. They had been told
that the Uighur capital city lay under the ruins
of Khara Khota. They dug through these ruins and
then through a stratum of boulders, gravel and
sand fifty feet in thickness, and finally came
upon the ruins of the capital city. They
unearthed many relics but, their money giving
out, they had to abandon their enterprise. They
met the Russian archeologist Kosloff and
expedition and continued their work at Khara
Khota. Kosloff gave a report of his findings
which I have already Given in Lost Continent of
Mu.
Legends all through Oriental countries say: "The
whole of Central Asia including the Himalayan
Mountains was at one time a flat, cultivated land
of fertile fields, forests, lakes and rivers,
with magnificently constructed roads and highways
connecting the various cities and towns with each
other. These were well built cities, huge
temples and public institutions, elaborate
private houses and palaces of the rulers." Today
are to be distinctly seen in the Gobi Desert the
dried-up beds of rivers, canals and lakes in
those parts of the Desert where the cataclysmic
waters did not wash away all the soil down the
bare rocks. There are several of these
washed-off areas in the Gobi Desert.
Legendary history gives all sorts of conflicting
dates as to when the Uighurs were in power.
Fortunately, we do not need to rely on legends,
for in one of the Tibetan monasteries are some
Naacal writings. I quote from one: "The Naacals,
70,000 years ago, bought to the Uighur
Motherland." Legendary history stated that the
Uighurs from the Motherland made their first
settlement in Asia, was to a flat well- watered
plain ( the Gobi). After this records found of
them all through Central Europe to the Atlantic
Ocean.
Written records tell us that the Uighurs had
many large cities. Today these are either washed
away or buried under the sand of the Gobi and
surrounding lands.
Some Chinese records, bearing a date of 500 B.C.
Describe the Uighurs as having been
"light-haired, blue-eyed people." " The Uighurs
were all of a light complexion, milk-white skin,
with varying color of eyes and hair. In the
north blue eye and light hair predominated. In
the south were found those with dark hair and
dark eyes."
I will now consider the following: The case and
date of The destruction of the Uighur capital
city.
The cause of the rich, fertile Gobi becoming a
desert, and at what period in the earth's history
it became a desert of sand and desolation.
An ancient record in a monastery states: "The
capital City of the Uighurs with all its people
was destroyed by a flood which extended
throughout the eastern part of the Empire,
destroying all and everything." This ancient
record is absolutely corroborated by geological
phenomena:
From the roofs of the capital city up to the
foundations of an ancient Khara Khota the
stratum is composed of boulders, gravel and
sand, the work of water as acknowledged by all
geologists throughout the world. This flood
unquestionably was the north running wave of the
Last Magnetic Cataclysm, the Biblical "Flood."
Back in the 80's I was with an expedition making
a geological investigation from a point south of
Lake Baikal to the mouth of the Lena River and
to the islands beyond in the Arctic Ocean. Our
examinations along the route disclosed the fact
that some thousands of years before a huge
cataclysmic wave of water without ice had passed
over this area, traveling from south to north.
We found no traces of this flood beyond the 110
East of Greenwich, but we found the evidence of
this wave to the limit of our easterly travels.
We did not find a single ice marking in any part
of Siberia that we covered that could in any way
be connected with this wave. Everywhere the
proofs were positive that the wave had passed
from south to north. The valley of the Lena
appeared to be the main course of the water.
Off from the mouth of the Lena is Llakoff's
Island. This island is composed of the bones and
tusks of mammoths and other forest animals which
had been swept up from the Mongolian and Siberian
plains by the flood and carried to this their
final resting place. In these bones we find a
confirmation that no ice accompanied the wave,
for had there been, their bodies and bones would
have been mashed into a pulp, and as in eastern
North America, no remains of them would be found
and Llakoff's Island never formed.
Geologically this flood occurred at the time that
geology claims that there was a glacial period in
the Northern Hemisphere. The records tell us
that the eastern half of the Uighur Empire,
including the capital city and all of the Living
things on the land, were destroyed and wiped out,
but that the western and southwestern parts were
left untouched.
Mountains intersect Central Asia in all
directions and Are especially numerous around and
through the parts which comprised the Uighur
Empire. Sometimes after the flood, I have found
no records telling us how long the mountains were
raised. As the mountains went up, the land was
literally shaken and torn to pieces by
earthquakes when the rocks were raised out of the
bowels of the earth, with here and there
volcanoes belching outh their fiery streams of
lava thus adding to the general destruction. How
many of the remaining Uighurs, after the flood,
survived the destruction caused by the raising of
the mountains, cannot be estimated, but very few.
This has always been the case in all areas where
mountains have been raised in
all parts of the earth. The history of a few
remnants of the Uighurs that survived, that
escaped with their lives in the mountains as they
went up, is told in another chapter. The various
mountains running through and around the Gobi
changed its watersheds. The broken condition of
the rocks underneath drained the water from the
surface and formed underground rivers. With all
water gone from the surface, the Gobi became what
we find it today, a sandy, rocky, inhospitable
waste. Without question water can be found today
within a few feet of the surface in the sandy
areas. We found water form 7 feet to 10 feet
below the surface.
Legendary history states that the Uighurs
extended themselves all through the central parts
of Europe. The Book of Manu, an ancient Hindu
book, says: " The Uighurs had a settlement on the
northern and eastern shores of the Caspian sea."
This was probably the migration spoken of by Max
Muller as having taken place during the
Pleistocene, the second migration of Uighurs into
Europe. It seemed to me unquestionable that the
early settlers in Eastern Europe, as they are
called by scientist, were remnants of Uighurs
that found their way out from the inhospitable
mountains. This seems verified by Max Muller,
who wrote: " The first Caucasians were a small
company from the mountains of central Asia." He
further
states that they came to the Caucasian plains
during the Pleistocene, therefore, after the
mountains were raised. As before stated the
Uighurs were in Europe before the raising of the
mountains. Many of the Central Asiatic tribes
today count their time from the raising of the
mountains.
In The Lost Continent of Mu I have shown some
symbolical pictures photographed by Kosloff at
Khara
Khota. I also give their decipherings.
TIBET Å\ Tibet lies in Central Asia. It is
bounded on the east by China, on the north by
Mongolia, on the south by India, and on the west
by Kashmir and Turkistan. The Gobi Desert is a
part of the northern boundary.
Tibet was once a part of the Great Uighur Empire.
This Was before the mountains were raised. The
country then was flat and fertile. Now it is one
of the highest plateaus in the world with the
masses of high mountain ranges, most of which run
from westerly to an easterly direction. In the
south is the highest mountain range in the
world-the Himalayas. Mount Everest, the world's
highest mountain, is in this range and lies
within the boundaries of Tibet. Tibet has been
called "The roof of the world."
While India has been called "The land of mystery
and mysterious sciences," Tibet is her twin
sister, if not her rival, in this respect.
In Tibet, in the most inaccessible parts of the
mountains, are many monasteries, lamaseries and
temples. Shut in from the outside world these
monastic orders live their quiet secluded lives,
away and aloof from the rest of mankind, unknown
to all except a few herdsmen who live in their
valley. Some of the monks in some of these
Himalayan and Tibetan monasteries claim that they
are the descendants of the Naacals who were
driven out of India by the Brahmins about 3000
years ago. These appear to have preserved the
Original Religion and some of the Cosmic Sciences
of the Earths First Great Civilizations. I
have emphasized the world "some" because these
monasteries out of the hundreds in Tibet can be
counted on the fingers of one hand. I know of
only three. Most of the monasteries follow a
form of Buddhism.
Some year ago Schliemann found in the old
Buddhist Temple at Lhassa a writing relating to
the destruction of Mu. This record is a
translation from an old tablet written in Pali
and Tibetan mixed. The whereabouts of the of the
original is unknown; Probably, however, it is
lying amongst hundreds of others in one of the
rooms of the temple; lying on the floor, dust
covered, with a corner or an end peeping through
its foul blanket of temple germs. In the depths
of the mountains, on one of the head waters of
the Brahmaputra River, are some temples and
monasteries. I cannot recollect the exact number
now. In one of these monasteries are preserved
what is said to be a complete Naacal Library-many
thousands of tablets. It
was stated to me that this was the Naacal Library
which had belonged to the Uighur capital city.
They have a weird, legendary history connected
with these tablets. I mentioned this fact to my
old Rishi and asked him if ever he had heard of
them and their weird history. He told me he had
in his younger days visited this monastery and
was told the history of the tablets. I will
repeat it as given to me.
The legend of the Naacal Library as told by the old Rishi.
"When the great flood swept up over eastern and
northern Asia, it destroyed the Uighur capital
city,
Drowning all the inhabitants, and buried a great
library which had been brought there by the
Naacals from the Motherland. Many years
afterwards the Naacals of the West, whom the
flood did not reach, went to the ruins of the
capital city, dug the tablets out and carried
them to a temple in the west. There they
remained until the mountains were raised which
destroyed the temple and buried them again.
Many, many years afterwards the descendants of
the Naacals who survived the mountain raising
went and dug them out again and brought them to
the temple where they now repose.
Neither this monastery nor the tablets are
unknown; They are well known to Oriental
scholars. To my own personal knowledge, three
Englishmen and two Russians have visited this
monastery.
After recounting this legend, I asked the Rishi
whether this library was the only complete one in
existence. His answer was," I think not, my son.
We have a legend which states that when our Rishi
City, Ayhodia, was sacked and burnt by the
invading army, the Naacal Library was in the
secret archives of the temple and never
discovered by the enemy. So that if our
tradition is correct, buried beneath the ruins of
the temple the Naacal library still remains
intact, as it has never been dug out."
It has been suggested to me that in my writings I
withhold all names of places, routes, passes,
etc., in Tibet. Kashmir and Northern India
generally, which might be of value in a political
sense. The reason given for withholding this
information is a perfectly valid one. I feel it
my duty and pleasure to comply with the
suggestion.
CHINA.-The Chinese civilation is referred to and
Looked upon as one of the very old ones. As a
Chinese civilization in dated back only about
5000 years. It is popularly believed that the
Chinese themselves developed their civilization.
They did not. The Chinese civilization was
inherited from their father's side. Again, the
Chinaman is looked upon as Mongols whose country
lay to the south of the Uighur Empire, and the
descendants of these intermarriages formed the
first Chinese Empire. The records reads: "Uighur
men married the best of the yellow savages." This
without question is a mistranslation, for at the
Time these marriages were taking place, savagery
had never been known on the face of the earth, so
that what was meant was unquestionably " the
yellow inferior race." Mongols were much inferior
to the Uighurs, their civilization was below that
of the Uighurs." Many of the Chinese today,
especially the high class, have quite white
Skins. This is the Uighur blood showing in their
veins. The regular Chinese coolie, the lower
classes of the Chinese today, have no Uighur
blood in them. They are the descendants of the
ancient yellow Mongols.
The Uighur parents of these intermarriages were
very careful to have their children educated up
to the Uighur standard, so that when the Chinese
Empire was first formed it was by those having
Uighur blood in their veins and educated in the
Uighur great civilization. The Chinese
civilization, therefore, was the Uighur
civilization handed to them by their fathers.
There are many writing in the Chinese Tao temples
confirming the foregoing and any tradition
prominent in China is: "The Chinese did not
always live in Asia. They came to Asia from a
far-off country towards the rising sun."
I have endeavored to find the collection of the
numerous Chinese legends in the form of a Chinese
Legendary History-it may exit but I have been
unable to find it.
I take from China by E.H. Parker, page 17, the following:
Early Chinese Dynasties
NAME OF NUMBER OF DURATION OF
DYNASTY RULERS DYNASTY
"Five Monarchs" Nine 2852-2206 B.C.
Hia Eighteen
2205-1767 "
Shang Twenty-eight 17766-1122 "
Chow Ten
1121-828 "
Chow Twenty-five 827-255 "
According to this, the average of each dynasty was:
"Five Monarchs" - each reigned 71 7/9 years.
Hia " " 241/3
Shang " " 23
Chow " " 293/10
Chow " " 2222/25
Parker says: " The Five Monarchs are altogether
mythical. The Hia dynasty is legendary and
largely mythical. The Shang dynasty is chiefly
legendary. The Ten Chow is Semi-historical and
the Twenty-five Chow historical."
From the foregoing one must infer that Parker
believes only what he sees and nothing that he
hears. It would appear that it matters not how
true a legend may be, it is a myth unless he sees
writing which he can believe in. It has been one
of my hobbies to trace myths back to see what
they come out of. Ninety times out of a hundred
I have found that the myth had its origin in a
tradition or legend. The tradition or legend has
veen so garbled that it has become a perfect
myth. It should be remembered that there is no
smoke without fire. I do not doubt for a minute
that in many cases what Parker calls myths are
really legends slightly garbled. They are
traditions only to the people, for behind them in
the old Tao temples are to be found written
records of the various phenomena.
Parker gives a good and very exhaustive history
of China from about 200 B.C. down to present
time. He
shows the rise and fall of the various Mongol
tribes and nations. He is, however, absolutely
wrong about the Japanese; and, being wrong about
them, other assertions of his are left open to
doubt. From his style of writing he would be one
to put poor old Marco Polo in prison because he
did not bring back a big-horned sheep to show.
How Parker accounts for the Gobi ruins and other
great prehistoric ruins, I do not know.
Apparently, such things mean nothing to him.
Some seven or eight thousand years after the
destruction of the Uighur Empire, innumerable
little nations came into existence in Eastern
Asia. All, apparently, were of the Mongoloid
type. The most prominent of these Mongol nations
was a Tartar race of which Genghis Khan and
Kublai Khan was the Principal figures. Kublai
Khan lived A.D. 1277, about 600 years ago.
Confucius, the great down to 480, about 300 years
after Chinese history commenced to be recorded in
China. The Emperor Che Hwang-te 214B.C. ordered
all books and literature relating to ancient
China to be burnt. A vast amount was seized by
him and burnt. Some of the works of Confucius
and Mencius were invluded in this conflagration.
It was this king who built the Great Wall of
China to keep back the Heung Noo Tartars from
constantly raiding northern China. Che Hwang-te
did not succeed in burning all of the ancient
writings, for many were saved and hidden in the
Tao temples where they are now religiously kept
and on no Account shown to anyone outside of the
priesthood of the temple.
This completes my chapter on Eastern Asia. The
next will be on Western Asia. This closes the
coffin lid of the Great Uighur Empire as far as
Eastern Asia and their capital is concerned.
THE TERTIARY UIGHUR EMPIRE. - When I say The
Uighur Empire of the Tertiary Era, I mean the
Uighur Empire of 20,000 years ago-before the
Magnetic Cataclysm which was the Biblical
"Flood," before the mythical geological "Glacial
Period," and before the time when the mountains
were raised.
The map on page 179 is simply a sketch, adapting
present land areas to show the extent and size of
the Great Uighur Empire of 20,000 years ago, many
lands have been submerged and many emerged. I
have shown a line running across the central
parts of Asia and Europe from the Pacific to the
Atlantic Ocean. This line is also about the
center of the Empire.
Remains of Uighurs have been found in the
Balkans. The last western outposts were Ireland,
Breton in France And Basque in Spain. How far
north in Asia the Empire ran is not known-ancient
Uighur cities have been found far into Siberia.
The shaded parts on the map represent
questionable boundaries. The only two
well-defined boundaries are the Pacific Ocean on
the east and the Naga Empire on the South.
Whether the Uighurs extended clear across the
center of Europe to the Atlantic Ocean, or only
outposts were established, is a riddle yet
unsolved. Today, however, we find their
descendants on the Atlantic Coast, whose origins
no one has attempted to tell.
In an old Oriental document it is stated that the
Uighur Empire was made up of something such as
petty kingdoms, principalities or states, each
having its own head or ruler yet all forming but
one empire under one supreme head or emperor who
in turn was under the suzerainty of Mu, the
Empire of the Sun. Looking at our own form of
government, it is not a difficult proposition to
imagine the Uighur Empire to have been an
enlarged United States. Mu herself was only the
United States of the World.
The Lost Continent of MU
(From Chapter V)
I think the Uighur record will be all that is
necessary to convince the most skeptical mind
that it is clearly proven by symbols alone that
Mu was the Motherland of Man.
The Uighur was the principle colonial empire
belonging to Mu at the time of the Biblical
"Flood" which destroyed its eastern half.
Chinese legends tell that the Uighurs were at the
height of their civilization about 17,000 years
ago. This date agrees with geological phenomena.
The Uighur Empire stretched its powerful arms
from the Pacific Ocean across Central Asia and
into Eastren Europe from the Caspian Sea on.
This was before the British Isles became
separated from the continent of Europe.
The southern boundary of the Uighur Empire was
along the northern boundaries of Cochin China,
Burma, India, and Persia, and this was before the
Himalayas and the other Asiatic mountains were
raised.
Their northern boundary extended into Siberia,
but how far there is no record to tell. Remains
of their cities have been found in the southern
parts of Siberia.
Eventually the Uighurs extended themselves into
Europe around the western and northern shores of
the Caspian Sea, as related in very ancient Hindu
records; from here they continued in through
Central Europe to its western boundary, Ireland.
They settled in northern Spain, northern France,
and far down into the Balkan region. The late
archeological discoveries in Moravia are Uighur
remains, and the evidences in which ethnologists
have based their theories that man originated in
Asia have been marks left by the advancing
Uighurs in Europe.
The history if the Uighurs is the history of the Aryans.
Ethnologists have classed certain white races as
Aryans that are not Aryans at all, but belong
totally different line of colonization.
The capital city of Uighurs was where the ruins
of Khara Khota now stand in the Gobi
Desert.(Teklimakan Desert) At the time of the
Uighur Empire the Gobi Desert(Teklimakan Desert)
was exceedingly fertile area of land.
The Uighurs had reached a high state of
civilization and culture; they knew astrology,
mining, the textile industries, architecture,
Mathematics, agriculture, writing, reading,
medicine, ect. They were experts in decorative
art or silk, metals, and wood, and they made
statues of gold, silver, bronze, and clay; and
this was before the history of Egypt commenced.
About one-half of the Uighur Empire was
destroyed before Mu went down, the other half
subsequent to Mu's submersion.
Professor Kosloff unearthed a tomb 50 feet below
the surface at Khara Khota (Qara Hoja) and in it
found wonderful treasures, which he photographed,
not being allowed to disturb or take anything
away. Through the courtesy of the American Weekly
I have obtained the loan of some of these
pictures, two of which I here reproduce with
their decipherings. I think I am safe in
believing that these pictures represent a time
between 16,000 and 18,000 years ago.
These pictures are symbolical, the various
symbols telling who they are. In the orginal they
are paintings on silk and represent a queen and
her consort in a sitting posture. I will now pick
out the symbols of the Queen. On her head is a
threepointed crown with a disc in the centre
with three sets of rays emanating from it. Behind
her body is a large disc, the sun. at the back of
her head is a smaller disc the Uighur Colonial
Empire. The crown on her head, a sun with rays on
one half only, shows the escutcheon of a colonial
empire. In her left hand she carries a scepter,
the ends of which are in the form of a trident Å\
three points Å\ the Motherland's numeral.
Her seat is a fullblown sacred lotus, the floral
symbol of the Motherland, so that she is depicted
as sitting in the lap of and being upheld by Mu,
the Motherland. Her consort does not carry a
scepter, nor has he a sun with rays, but in its
place a sphere. His crown also shows the
Motherland's numeral.
Kosloff had pictures of various scepters. This
illustration is of a different pattern from the
one held in the queen's hand, and of later date,
but symbolically reads the same, the ends being
divided into three giving the numeral of the
Motherland.
Thus we see the symbols of Asia, America, South
Sea Islands and New Zealand all agreeing in the
tale they tell. Could anything be more definite
or convincing Å\ unless our old forefathers were
to rise from their graves, to tell us by word of
mouth what happened to them in the land of Mu?
