Paper 76

The Second Garden

Solonia

76:0.1When Adam elected to leave the first gar­den to the Nod­ites un­op­posed, he and his fol­low­ers could not go west, for the Eden­ites had no boats suit­able for such a ma­rine ad­ven­ture. They could not go north; the north­ern Nod­ites were al­ready on the march to­ward Eden. They feared to go south; the hills of that re­gion were in­fested with hos­tile tribes. The only way open was to the east, and so they jour­neyed east­ward to­ward the then pleas­ant re­gions be­tween the Tigris and Eu­phrates rivers. And many of those who were left be­hind later jour­neyed east­ward to join the Adamites in their new val­ley home.

76:0.2Cain and Sansa were both born be­fore the Adamic car­a­van had reached its des­ti­na­tion be­tween the rivers in Mes­o­po­ta­mia. Laotta, the mother of Sansa, per­ished at the birth of her daugh­ter; Eve suf­fered much but sur­vived, ow­ing to su­pe­rior strength. Eve took Sansa, the child of Laotta, to her bo­som, and she was reared along with Cain. Sansa grew up to be a woman of great abil­ity. She be­came the wife of Sar­gan, the chief of the north­ern blue races, and con­tributed to the ad­vance­ment of the blue men of those times.
