Mu was invented in the 19th century. It has no counterpart in the ancient mythology
or today's geology.
As it is described it is an impossible ghost.
The explanation for the Mu invention lies in the weak understanding scientists had
of geology and other Earthly events in the 19th century.
Or maybe Madame Blawatsky knows a better reason.
