”In the year 6 Kan, on the 11th Muluc in the month Zac, there occurred terrible earthquakes, which continued without interruption until the 13th Chuen. The country of the hills of mud, the land of Mu was sacrificed: being twice upheaved it suddenly disappeared during the night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and to rise several times and in various places. At last the surface gave way and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered. Unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their 64,000,000 of inhabitants 8060 years before the writing of this book.” The Troano MS. appears to have been written about 3,500 years ago, among the Mayas of Yucatan
The manuscript was supposedly written ~3,500 years ago (from the 19th century, when this interpretation likely emerged, e.g., 1864 by Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, who studied the Troano Codex).The event (sinking of Mu) occurred 8,060 years before the manuscript’s writing, placing it at ~3,500 + 8,060 = 11,560 years ago from the 19th century, or roughly 9560 BCE (if we anchor to 1864 CE: 1864 + 11,560 = ~11,424 years ago, or ~9560 BCE).
