As far as I know, Churchward didn't. I just couldn't think of another name on the spur of the moment to link too Mu, to make a spurious link to Atlantis. I really should have connected the focus-point of the Sphinx's eyes into it somehow, but it was late.

The 'grabbing' of lines of longitude' to pull ships north or south was something I came across decades ago, in a long forgotten "source", that made an indelible impression concerning Man's attempts at uneducated explorations of pseudoscience.

Years later, I saw a similar attempt, except updated to 'Gaussian lines of force' and inertia-less UFO drives.

I would not be surprised if, as I write, some enterprising, perpetually in motion crank-genius isn't trying to update the concept by tying a ship to a super-string and undertaking the exploration of distant galaxies.

Eltanin impact

I've seen energy calculations done in about 1968 that claimed such an event would create an enormous amount of heat-energy to "pastuerize most of the planet". Part of the hypothesis concernered studies of Verdevoort Ring in S. Africa & other large scale ancient impact sites, and concluded an object of this size would be sufficient, in a water strike, to crack the mantle, and release enormous amounts of magma, which would create a relatively long term additional vaporization. In turn, the vaporization would slow heat disipation and radiation to space. In effect, there would be an essentially dry area of ocean floor, with a wall of seawater surrounding it, and a rising column of superheated steam for a fair amount of time, until the seawater managed to cool the crater enough to reinundate it.

The results indicated a significant rise in atmospheric temperature, torrential rains & winds, followed later by 'atomic winter' type cooling. It was a scenario of a major global killing event regardless of impact point, assuming a strike in 1-3 Km depth ocean.

In addition, naturally, they mentioned the super-tsunamis this would also create.
