Naacal Tablets
The Naacal Tablets are a fabricated set of stone tablets depicting elaborate origin stories about the creation of human civilization. Despite numerous individuals claiming the drastic implications the information from the Naacal Tablets have on history, there has never been any physical archaeological evidence of such stones [1]. While there is much debate over whether the stone tablets exist in a secret library hidden in the world, the consequences of the stones inception have shaped the beliefs of entire belief-systems and religions, such as Theosophy [2]. The true power of the Naacal Tablets resides in the redderick of the fantastical stories that many unwitting spiritual or new-agers follow as their truth.
Historical Context: Plongeon and Churchward
Augustus Le Plongeon, a french photographer and amateur archaeologist, was the first to begin shaping the narrative about the Naacals. While studying and examining the Maya ruins in Central America, Plongeon began to speculate forces from beyond planet Earth were responsible from shaping ancient civilization. Afterall, why would an ancient people in such a scorching climate have the desire to build monuments that would require all the man-power throughout the region? It was the sheer wonder of such ancient architecture paired with the mystery of the ancient religion of the Mayas that drove Plongeon towards his obsession with the idea of lost civilizations. In 1896, Plongeon and his wife, Alice Dixon, wrote their controversial book, "Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx," in which the Naacals were first mentioned. The Plongeon's claimed the Naacals were a group of "exalted" missionaries, tasked with the purpose of spreading the religion and way of life of the ancient Maya across the world. Plongeon further believed the ancient Maya traveled through Atlantis to Egypt to give the ancient Egyptians access to the knowledge they had. James Churchward was another key proponent in popularizing the Naacal Tablets. His 1926 book, The Lost Continent of Mu, claimed the Naacals were an ancient people from the lost continent Mu. Churchward’s story has never been confirmed, but he claimed to have traveled to India and had the opportunity of a lifetime to study a lost language with an Indian priest. The priest eventually translated the Naacal Tablets and the history of the lost pacific continent, Mu, was revealed to Churchward.
