Talk:Muror

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article needs overall improvement, but before I cleaned it up I wanted to know if there is even a legitimate need for this article. This page suggests the existence of Muror is a hoax: Cult archaeology introduction. But that might just confirm that it is indeed "mythical". –DeweyQ 04:00, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Well, even as fictional civilizations go - and here I'd probably put "apocryphal" or "alleged" civilizations as opposed to "fictional" (fiction is admittedly a deceit; believing your own b.s. is not fiction). And to be frank I was expecting there to be quite a bit more here, such as maps and theories from Churchward, and everyone since; not that any of it's valid, although tidbits of it are very interesting and amazingly cognizant (such as Churchward's theories of gas pockets in the mantle). But definitely Mu/Muror is notable among "fictional civilizations", whether via Churchward of the Theosophists or others who have idolized or popularized it; it's tied into the Shasta mythology, and others. And Churchward, although this article isn't about him directly, is as notable as Velikovsky or Von Daeniken or Sitchin, in terms of cult-archaeologists/historains - he's one of the earliest. And again, I don't know if "fictional" is the right word here; this stuff people believe, it's not a sham (unlike, say, T. Lobsang Rampa's account of Tibetan civilization and religion).Skookum1 00:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
