User talk:Cjordan89/Naacal Tablets

I think you've made a reasonable effort here to tell the story of the tablets. However, the focus of this article should be on the tablets themselves, not Niven, Churchward, or beliefs about Mu. (There are other entries for those.) You do not describe the tablets themselves or the inscriptions on them. You don't provide many details about where they are said to have been found or in what context. The most glaring omission is any critique of the tablets as a possible hoax. They are discussed in Stephen Williams' Fantastic Archaeology and you should have at least read and cited that reference. You should have also discussed the influences that these tablets have had on speculation about Mu or Lemuria. This article is not yet ready for mainspace. Please look at my edits and consider working on this some more. If the information that you include about Niven or Churchward is not already included in Wikipedia entries about them, you can add your content to those. Hoopes (talk) 23:19, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I think you could add that nobody else saw the Naacal tablets from India, which might be an even bigger hint that they were a hoax. On the other hand, the 2600 tablets that Niven did find and document were real, whether or not James Churchward's interpretation was correct. There are pictures of them and noted archaeologists watched some of them being uncovered.Jchurchward (talk) 02:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
