6. The Last Andite Dispersions

78:6.1The last three waves of And­ites poured out of Mes­o­po­ta­mia be­tween 8000 and 6000 B.C. These three great waves of cul­ture were forced out of Mes­o­po­ta­mia by the pres­sure of the hill tribes to the east and the ha­rass­ment of the plains­men of the west. The in­hab­i­tants of the Eu­phrates val­ley and ad­ja­cent ter­ri­tory went forth in their fi­nal ex­o­dus in sev­eral di­rec­tions:

78:6.2Sixty-five per cent en­tered Eu­rope by the Caspian Sea route to con­quer and amal­ga­mate with the newly ap­pear­ing white races—the blend of the blue men and the ear­lier And­ites.

78:6.3Ten per cent, in­clud­ing a large group of the Sethite priests, moved east­ward through the Elamite high­lands to the Ira­nian pla­teau and Tur­kes­tan. Many of their de­scen­dants were later driven into In­dia with their Aryan breth­ren from the re­gions to the north.

78:6.4Ten per cent of the Mes­o­po­ta­mi­ans turned east­ward in their north­ern trek, en­ter­ing Sinkiang, where they blended with the And­ite-yel­low in­hab­i­tants. The ma­jor­ity of the able off­spring of this racial union later en­tered China and con­tributed much to the im­me­di­ate im­prove­ment of the north­ern di­vi­sion of the yel­low race.

78:6.5Ten per cent of these flee­ing And­ites made their way across Ara­bia and en­tered Egypt.

78:6.6Five per cent of the And­ites, the very su­pe­rior cul­ture of the coastal dis­trict about the mouths of the Tigris and Eu­phrates who had kept them­selves free from in­ter­mar­riage with the in­fe­rior neigh­bor­ing tribes­men, re­fused to leave their homes. This group rep­re­sented the sur­vival of many su­pe­rior Nod­ite and Adamite strains.

78:6.7The And­ites had al­most en­tirely evac­u­ated this re­gion by 6000 B.C., though their de­scen­dants, largely mixed with the sur­round­ing San­gik races and the An­don­ites of Asia Mi­nor, were there to give bat­tle to the north­ern and east­ern in­vaders at a much later date.

78:6.8The cul­tural age of the sec­ond gar­den was ter­mi­nated by the in­creas­ing in­fil­tra­tion of the sur­round­ing in­fe­rior stocks. Civ­i­liza­tion moved west­ward to the Nile and the Med­i­ter­ra­nean is­lands, where it con­tin­ued to thrive and ad­vance long af­ter its foun­tain­head in Mes­o­po­ta­mia had de­te­ri­o­rated. And this unchecked in­flux of in­fe­rior peo­ples pre­pared the way for the later con­quest of all Mes­o­po­ta­mia by the north­ern bar­bar­ians who drove out the resid­ual strains of abil­ity. Even in later years the cul­tured residue still re­sented the pres­ence of these ig­no­rant and un­couth in­vaders.
