Here is the translation of an article from a Turkish website where the author set up a hypothesis about the correlation between Mu and Antiochia. He also mentions about Ataturk's interest in Mu civilization and his efforts to find out more about them.
Note: It took around 3-4 hours for me to complete this translation. I'm quite sleepless, by the way ~:) So please forgive any mistakes, and if it gets too difficult to understand at some point, please quote it and let me explain. ~:)
Note 2: I omitted some parts distracting the focus of the subject too much..
Churchward's Story Of Mu
https://img307.imageshack.us/img307/7771/sekil12na.gif
Everything starts with the arrival of British researcher, Colonel James Churchwards in India and Tibet in 1880 on several duties. Churchward, who made incredible contributions to modern theories of evolution, sigillography and acrheology, met the head priest –Rishi- of a monastery located in Western Tibet during his researches about the roots of ancient religions. Churchward stayed with Rishi for two years after finding out the existence of Naacal tablets proven to be scribed 15.000 years ago, in order to decipher them. Could he know that he was at the threshold of a 50-years of research that would take place in North, Central and South America, Egypt, Australia, Middle Asia, Siberia and in almost all of the Southern Pacific islands -after learning the ancient and dead Naacal language from Rishi that was composed of various symbols and shapes and thus deciphering the tablets ?
Now, let’s rewind things a bit and try to think about why the head priest Rishi revealed those tablets that were hidden from sight for thousands of years to Churchward, what’s more teaching him the Naacal language that was the only way to decipher them. We ‘re not on very informatic grounds about that actually. However, when they were deciphered, it was revealing that these 15.000 year-old tablets were brought to India from the continent of Mu by the Naacal priests. They were called the Brotherhood of Naacal as well. Naacals were both scientists and priests and were governors of the land of Mu. They were using this symbolic language in order to teach about their monotheist religion –that was the first of all- to both the ones living in their lands and also to those in their colonies. However, the esoteric interpretions and meanings were only known by themselves and the emperors.
The Ottoman word for esoterism is “batınilik” – that is “içsel”, “içyüz” in Turkish. The reverse system of esoterism is called exoterism (SP?). The Ottoman word for it is “harici” – that is “dışsal” in Turkish. Esoteric information is of those that is not conveyed or explained to everyone, and that is only revealed to those who pass through specific ways of education and deserve the knowledge. In order to find out about such information, one starts with learning exoteric information and by time he gives effort into it, he deserves to learn about the esoteric information.
Esoteric info is not generally in written format and are taught to a student under a specific system by teachers and guides using symbols. This is called initiation. This concept, for example, is called “el vermek” (=giving a hand) in Shaman-Turkic traditions. What lies beneath the source of Mu, Atlantis, Uighurs, Mayans, Tibet, Hermes-Egyptian, Indian civilizations, Rama, Babylonian, Pitagor, “Saabilik”, Platon, “Yesevilik”, Neo-Platonism, Kabbala, “Ahilik” and Mevlana is the esoterism and the esoteric informations. When Churchward first deciphered the Naacal tablets, he revealed the existence of a gigantic continent located right over the Pacific Ocean between Asia and America. This continent may have been the home of the first members of the humankind approximately 200.000 years ago. The continent’s lands were so plain and wide, the climate was so warm and beautiful that the life rapidly spreaded all over. Years passed by ages, ages passed by thousands of years in a harmonic way. And before around 70.000 years from the modern day, Mu was a gigantic continent of a population over 60.000.000 with all its nature and technology. The first sparkles of colonization and motives of exploration of new lands come accross with these years. Consequently, two routes of immigration was yielded, one westwards and the other one eastwards.
Churchward was never impressed and was closer to the reality, during his 50 years of research, by anything other than the tablets archeolog William Niven’s discovery of tablets in Mexico around 1921-1923. Niven had discovered a great deal of ancient tablets in Mexico. All the deciphering job could be only done by Churchward, since they were coded through Naacal language. Eventually, all the information about the continent of Mu, the routes of migration and the collapse of it was ready to be expressed academically. James Churchward commemorates Niven’s name with respect and sincerity, because of Niven’s contributions to modern science and works that enlightened his path. It is quite likely that Churchward would not be able to push his researches further unless Niven had discovered the tablets.

One of the westwards ways of the migration route off Mu caused the formation of the Uighur Empire. The empire was controlling a vast part of Asia and Europe and was the biggest colony of Mu. By time, Uighur Empire’s borders reached the Atlantic coasts over Europe. Chinese documents scribed around 1000 BC, tell that Uighurs were at the peak of their civilization before 17.000 years of time.
The other immigration route was the one eastwards, that follows the way over the souteastern Mexico to the continent of Atlantis. Atlantis –with Uighur- is the first secondary continent. The eastern routes of colonization reached Mediterranean Sea leaving Atlantis and Atlantic Ocean behind and thus branching seperately to Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Greece and finally into Anatolia. Mu continent was destroyed and collapsed into the deep waters by earthquakes and vulcanic eruptions approximately 12.000 years ago.
Mu and Antiochia
After examining the maps that Churchward compiled, Anatolia where is the birth place of many civilizations, acted as a blending point of the immigration routes from both Uighurs and Atlantis. And, actually, this reveals the truth that it is the interaciton of Mu, Uighur, Atlantis and Anatolian civilizations rather than those of Anatolians with Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians and Greeks. Another discovery that confirms this truth is the one of Prof. Ralph Solecki made in 1957. Solecki had found traces of modern humans with 9 skeletons that were 44.000 years old in the Cave of Şanidar and over the hilly lands that draws the curvy area starting from Toros Mt., to Ağrı Mt. And continuing from here to soutwest where Zagros Mt. are located (Iran-Iraq border) and finally towards Syria and Lebanon (Solecki calls this “The curve of civilization”). Solecki also expressed that a lot of caves longing from 13.000 to 100.000 years of age are to be discovered in this curve.Antiochia (Antakya, the modern city of Hatay that is), where was the host of numerous civilizations for ten-thousands of years, is generally –and rightfully- told of its history starting with Great Alexander ‘s acquaintance of the place after his victory of Issos battle versus Persian emperor Darius in 333 BC. This error is derived from the inability or the lack of publicization of the discoveries aging thousands of years made by the researchers, or limiting the framework or the environment of such studies/researches…

The first researches about the ancient history of Antiochia, as a step of Amık Excavations Project, were held by Oriental Institute’s Syrian Expedition through 1932-1938 within the intenrational archeological framework such as Tell Tayinat, Tell Al-Judaidah, Chatal Höyük. The second research was held by Sir Leonard Charles Woolley in periods of 1937-1939 and 1946-1949 in Tell Atchana. Woolley’s and the other similar researches and expeditions cover the period around 1400-1800 BC. Woolley had made excavations and researches before these, in southern Egypt and northern Sudan around 1907-1911. Woolley, after this research, as the chief of the co-working research group of British Museum and University of Pensilvania, made expeditions in Ur (modern Iraq) as well. The aim of that expedition was the attempt to make discoveries of 2400-6000 years-time. Taking these two expeditions into consideration, was it a coincidence that Tell Atchana expedition had revealed discoveries of 3400-3800 years time ?
Let’s try to remember.
One of the most important settlements located on the migration routes starting From Mu and over Atlantis was Egypt. And one of the final arrival points was Antiochia.
As Solecki stated, if Ur was one of the Eastern hosts located in “The curve of civilizations”, isn’t it possible that one of the welcomers of “guests” was Antiochia ?
Now, let’s take it more up-to-date.
Remember the quote about Great Alexander, in 333 BC :,
“The land was so abundant, the water was so clear that this time, the Great Alexander looked back while leaving. The spring he drank water from was just as delicious as his mother’s milk..Said ‘May it have the name Olimpias, like my mother’s.’ and was gone.”
Who knows whether the people of Mu looked back with same emotions ? …

Atatürk’s Interest On The Subject
After the establishment of Türk Tarih Kurumu (Turkish Office of History, 1930) in 1932 through several researches, one day, ancient languages specialist, scientist and retired general Tahsin Mayatepek mentions about the similarities between Mayan language and Turkish language to Ataturk in one of their conversations (The Mayan word for “tepe” (=hill) was “tepek”. Footnote: People were obliged to choose surnames after the foundation of Turkey. No surnames before..). Mayatepek tells him that such similarities were counted to be over 100. Ataturk, after being impressed with the conversation, assigned Tahsin Mayatepek as the Turkish ambassador in Mexico, to give him the opportunity for a deeper research. Mayatepek, who had got to meet William Niven during his researches in Mexico, could not only have the opportunity to work on the tablets Niven discovered but also got to know the presence of Churchward’s finished piece of work after 50 years of research on Mu civilization. Following the regular and continuous acknowledgements about the improvements on the subject to Atatürk, a copy of Churchward’s book was brought to Turkey and was examined by a comission of 40-50 specialists and scientists. Ataturk had personally observed the studies about the Turkish language and symbols, the Naacal tablets of Niven, Mayan language and symbols and Churchward’s books, and held his own memos and records about it. These books that were kept by Turkish Office Of Language until 60’s, were taken to the Anıtkabir (Ataturk’s Mauseloum) Archive later on. Today, they are still kept with Ataturks original remarks and memos as well..
