Why Ra? And I also don't know a lick of Sanskrit, but I've seen that "-nagar" suffix on other names. Vijayanagar, for example.

Srinagar too.
Because Ra is associated with the sun/light going all the way back to Mu, not just Egypt.
The Nagas were a colony of Mu. The people of Mu called themselves the Naacal. Emigrants from Mu who settled colonies were called Maya.
This is why we have maya as a religious concept in the east where the Nagas, Hindus, and Buddhists live and we have Nagualism and Nahuatl in the west where the Mayans live.
They are original branches of the motherland tree.
I think I've seen or read you saying Mu was somewhere in the Indian ocean, but could have also been Indonesia before the sea level rose and cut Australia off from Asia? A lot of land disappeared.
That’s a rough approximation of Mu’s coastline superimposed upon a map with modern shorelines to anchor ourselves. Obviously the shorelines elsewhere would have been different from what they are today and this is an educated guess by, I believe, James Churchward.
Seems... Ambitious. The ocean there is very deep. To have that and it sink would require not only a sea level rise, but so very big and sudden tectonic shifts - which may be possible, idk. Maybe that pole shift could do it. But for comparison, the mountain that becomes Hawaii's Big Island is taller than Mr. Everest
Well, maybe only ambitious in the north and west parts 🤔
Given that the “Pacific ring of fire” is a thing and it’s all trenched suggests displacement of tectonic plates away from the Pacific plate.
If the pole flip hypothesis is valid and something triggers induced fluidity in the asthenosphere, during such events, the asthenosphere would conceivably yield very easily to persistent or even fleeting forces.
Churchward’s research suggests that Mu was very flat. Also lot of water weight from the oceans inundating the lands during the pole flip could contribute heavily (pardon the pun) to pushing the land mass down into the asthenosphere.
The other factor at play here is that Mu apparently existed 53,000 years ago and based on Ben Davidson’s research, geomagnetic excursions occur every 6000 years or so, meaning there have been a number of cataclysms between the first one and today that have further shuffled the deck so to speak.
Very interesting... Anything is possible on this very mercurial/protean planet of ours... And seeing the stone carvings of the dude with 6 or seven snakes on either side of his head, found in both central america and India, is quite persuasive that something was going on.
I think Vijaya is a name so Vijayanagara may be like "Individual name" + "Honorific title of nagara" designating enlightenment.
Looked it up and it says that “-nagara” means city in Sanskrit.
While that is true, I am looking beyond that and I am asking myself why does a word composed of words that mean “serpent” and “source of light” gain a meaning of “city”.
I look at the names of our cities and I see nouns named after other nouns, i.e. places named after people and things.
So then I ask myself what types of people would we be prone to name places after? Washington? Saint Louis? Phoenix? Columbus? Melbourne? Lafayette? Austin? Augusta? Lincoln? Sydney? Madison? Darwin? Bismarck? Alexandria? Adelaide? New York? Kyiv? Numerous places named after Saints?
We name places after people and often times those people were well known because they were spiritually advanced. It makes sense to me that “cities” aka nagaras would be named after spiritually advanced people who were born there, lived there, or died there.
