Niven The Waters – The Mother of Life(Churchwood The Children of MU )Group of twenty Different Crosses fromNiven’s Tablets
There is a photo of a large monolith Niven found in the 1890's inGuerrero at Quechamictlipan which has similar inscriptions in "BuriedCities, Forgotten Gods". Along with it, Niven found greenstonefigurines with helmets similar to those dipicted on the Olmecmonoliths of Veracruz. Another described as an altarstone was found ina cornfield near Atzcapotzalco when Sylvanus Morely and Thomas Gannwere present. Churchward tried to persuade Niven to guide him to thestone so that it could be transported to the United States but balkedwhen Niven insisted on being present and wanted five thousand dollarsto cover the expenses of moving it properly. Afterwards, Churchwardbroke off contact with Niven and apparently went down to Mexico to tryand retrieve the stone himself. This would be around 1928. Nivenreturned with his son to dig up the stone again where he had reburiedit but it had weathered to the point that mural was no longer visible.It is also stated in the text that Niven had sent Churchward 2600rubbings from the original tablets found at Atzcapotzalco, so theseshould be among Churchward's original papers.In 1926, Niven recieved a letter from Ludovic Mann of Glasgow whostated that the inscriptions were very similar to ones he had studiedfrom Scandinavian petroglyphs and that one in particular was of thegod Jupiter. Niven sent Mann additional rubbings to aid in hisresearch However, a Canadian linguist who was an expert in Aztecwriting, J.H. Cornyn, wrote Niven from Mexico City, to tell him thatthe figure was not a man but a woman, Xochi-quetzal, a vegetationgoddes and wife of the old fire god. The symbols below the figure werethe four cardinal directions over which the goddes had dominion.Cornyn later warned Niven not to place much confidence in Churchward'sdecipherments. At this same time the American Museum of NaturalHistory sent a letter offering to return numerous tablets fromAtzcapotzalco which Niven had donated to the them. They could not findanyone who who could descipher the meaning among all their experts.Niven felt betrayed by the institution which had supported and honoredhim so long. He mused that it was because he had given them "a nut tootough to crack" or that someone on the staff had maligned his work.Whatever the reason, this was the beginning of Niven's fade from theworld of academic science.In researching the American Museum of Natural History, I later foundthat on the list of notable past members, Niven is conspicuouslyabsent while his archrival Manuel Gamez is included.
