Like are these characters actually meant to be descendants of them or not? We know the gene that caused the second stage children to have their powers were first discovered in soccer players but is the connection seriously meant to be this direct?

Recently saw this on tiktok and apparently it's a book released in 1988. How likely is it Imu is based on the Mu in this book? Google AI gave a few summaries of what the book is about:

​

The Motherland: Churchward theorized that Mu was a vast continent in the Pacific Ocean—stretching from north of Hawaii to Fiji and Easter Island—and the original "Garden of Eden" home to 64 million inhabitants known as the Naacals.

​

Colonial Expansion: Roughly 50,000 years ago, Mu established colonies globally, with its people spreading eastward and westward.

​

The Spread of Civilization: According to Churchward, famous ancient civilizations—including the Mayas, ancient Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Indians, and Egyptians—were not independent, developing cultures, but rather decayed remnants of Mu's original colonies.

​

The Evidence: Churchward claimed his theories were based on deciphering ancient Naacal stone tablets he discovered in India and Mexico.

​

The Fall of Mu: The book traces the gradual destruction and ultimate sinking of the mother continent, forcing the "children" (its colonies) to survive as isolated remnants of a once-greater global culture.
