Andite Expansion in the Occident

80:9.1The racial blends in Eu­rope to­ward the close of the And­ite mi­gra­tions be­came gen­er­al­ized into the three white races as fol­lows:

80:9.21. The north­ern white race. This so-called Nordic race con­sisted pri­mar­ily of the blue man plus the And­ite but also con­tained a con­sid­er­able amount of An­don­ite blood, to­gether with smaller amounts of the red and yel­low San­gik. The north­ern white race thus en­com­passed these four most de­sir­able hu­man stocks. But the largest in­her­i­tance was from the blue man. The typ­i­cal early Nordic was long-headed, tall, and blond. But long ago this race be­came thor­oughly mixed with all of the branches of the white peo­ples.

80:9.3The prim­i­tive cul­ture of Eu­rope, which was en­coun­tered by the in­vad­ing Nordics, was that of the ret­ro­grad­ing Danu­bians blended with the blue man. The Nordic-Dan­ish and the Danu­bian-An­don­ite cul­tures met and min­gled on the Rhine as is wit­nessed by the ex­is­tence of two racial groups in Ger­many to­day.

80:9.4The Nordics con­tin­ued the trade in am­ber from the Baltic coast, build­ing up a great com­merce with the broad­heads of the Danube val­ley via the Bren­ner Pass. This ex­tended con­tact with the Danu­bians led these north­ern­ers into mother wor­ship, and for sev­eral thou­sands of years cre­ma­tion of the dead was al­most uni­ver­sal through­out Scan­di­navia. This ex­plains why re­mains of the ear­lier white races, al­though buried all over Eu­rope, are not to be found—only their ashes in stone and clay urns. These white men also built dwellings; they never lived in caves. And again this ex­plains why there are so few ev­i­dences of the white man’s early cul­ture, al­though the pre­ced­ing Cro-Magnon type is well pre­served where it has been se­curely sealed up in caves and grot­toes. As it were, one day in north­ern Eu­rope there is a prim­i­tive cul­ture of the ret­ro­gress­ing Danu­bians and the blue man and the next that of a sud­denly ap­pear­ing and vastly su­pe­rior white man.

80:9.52. The cen­tral white race. While this group in­cludes strains of blue, yel­low, and And­ite, it is pre­dom­i­nantly An­don­ite. These peo­ple are broad-headed, swarthy, and stocky. They are driven like a wedge be­tween the Nordic and Med­i­ter­ra­nean races, with the broad base rest­ing in Asia and the apex pen­e­trat­ing east­ern France.

80:9.6For al­most twenty thou­sand years the An­don­ites had been pushed far­ther and far­ther to the north of cen­tral Asia by the And­ites. By 3000 B.C. in­creas­ing arid­ity was driv­ing these An­don­ites back into Tur­kes­tan. This An­don­ite push south­ward con­tin­ued for over a thou­sand years and, split­ting around the Caspian and Black seas, pen­e­trated Eu­rope by way of both the Balkans and the Ukraine. This in­va­sion in­cluded the re­main­ing groups of Adam­son’s de­scen­dants and, dur­ing the lat­ter half of the in­va­sion pe­riod, car­ried with it con­sid­er­able num­bers of the Ira­nian And­ites as well as many of the de­scen­dants of the Sethite priests.

80:9.7By 2500 B.C. the west­ward thrust of the An­don­ites reached Eu­rope. And this over­run­ning of all Mes­o­po­ta­mia, Asia Mi­nor, and the Danube basin by the bar­bar­ians of the hills of Tur­kes­tan con­sti­tuted the most se­ri­ous and last­ing of all cul­tural set­backs up to that time. These in­vaders def­i­nitely An­donized the char­ac­ter of the cen­tral Eu­ro­pean races, which have ever since re­mained char­ac­ter­is­ti­cally Alpine.

80:9.83. The south­ern white race. This brunet Med­i­ter­ra­nean race con­sisted of a blend of the And­ite and the blue man, with a smaller An­don­ite strain than in the north. This group also ab­sorbed a con­sid­er­able amount of sec­ondary San­gik blood through the Sa­ha­rans. In later times this south­ern di­vi­sion of the white race was in­fused by strong And­ite el­e­ments from the east­ern Med­i­ter­ra­nean.

80:9.9The Med­i­ter­ra­nean coast­lands did not, how­ever, be­come per­me­ated by the And­ites un­til the times of the great no­madic in­va­sions of 2500 B.C. Land traf­fic and trade were nearly sus­pended dur­ing these cen­turies when the no­mads in­vaded the east­ern Med­i­ter­ra­nean dis­tricts. This in­ter­fer­ence with land travel brought about the great ex­pan­sion of sea traf­fic and trade; Med­i­ter­ra­nean sea-borne com­merce was in full swing about forty-five hun­dred years ago. And this de­vel­op­ment of ma­rine traf­fic re­sulted in the sud­den ex­pan­sion of the de­scen­dants of the And­ites through­out the en­tire coastal ter­ri­tory of the Med­i­ter­ra­nean basin.

80:9.10These racial mix­tures laid the foun­da­tions for the south­ern Eu­ro­pean race, the most highly mixed of all. And since these days this race has un­der­gone still fur­ther ad­mix­ture, no­tably with the blue-yel­low-And­ite peo­ples of Ara­bia. This Med­i­ter­ra­nean race is, in fact, so freely ad­mixed with the sur­round­ing peo­ples as to be vir­tu­ally in­dis­cernible as a sep­a­rate type, but in gen­eral its mem­bers are short, long-headed, and brunet.

80:9.11In the north the And­ites, through war­fare and mar­riage, oblit­er­ated the blue men, but in the south they sur­vived in greater num­bers. The Basques and the Berbers rep­re­sent the sur­vival of two branches of this race, but even these peo­ples have been thor­oughly ad­mixed with the Sa­ha­rans.

80:9.12This was the pic­ture of race mix­ture pre­sented in cen­tral Eu­rope about 3000 B.C. In spite of the par­tial Adamic de­fault, the higher types did blend.

80:9.13These were the times of the New Stone Age over­lap­ping the on­com­ing Bronze Age. In Scan­di­navia it was the Bronze Age as­so­ci­ated with mother wor­ship. In south­ern France and Spain it was the New Stone Age as­so­ci­ated with sun wor­ship. This was the time of the build­ing of the cir­cu­lar and roof­less sun tem­ples. The Eu­ro­pean white races were en­er­getic builders, de­light­ing to set up great stones as to­kens to the sun, much as did their later-day de­scen­dants at Stone­henge. The vogue of sun wor­ship in­di­cates that this was a great pe­riod of agri­cul­ture in south­ern Eu­rope.

80:9.14The su­per­sti­tions of this com­par­a­tively re­cent sun-wor­ship­ing era even now per­sist in the folk­ways of Brit­tany. Al­though Chris­tian­ized for over fif­teen hun­dred years, these Bre­tons still re­tain charms of the New Stone Age for ward­ing off the evil eye. They still keep thun­der­stones in the chim­ney as pro­tec­tion against light­ning. The Bre­tons never min­gled with the Scan­di­na­vian Nordics. They are sur­vivors of the orig­i­nal An­don­ite in­hab­i­tants of west­ern Eu­rope, mixed with the Med­i­ter­ra­nean stock.

80:9.15But it is a fal­lacy to pre­sume to clas­sify the white peo­ples as Nordic, Alpine, and Med­i­ter­ra­nean. There has been al­to­gether too much blend­ing to per­mit such a group­ing. At one time there was a fairly well-de­fined di­vi­sion of the white race into such classes, but wide­spread in­ter­min­gling has since oc­curred, and it is no longer pos­si­ble to iden­tify these dis­tinc­tions with any clar­ity. Even in 3000 B.C. the an­cient so­cial groups were no more of one race than are the pres­ent in­hab­i­tants of North Amer­ica.

80:9.16This Eu­ro­pean cul­ture for five thou­sand years con­tin­ued to grow and to some ex­tent in­ter­min­gle. But the bar­rier of lan­guage pre­vented the full re­cip­ro­ca­tion of the var­i­ous Oc­ci­den­tal na­tions. Dur­ing the past cen­tury this cul­ture has been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing its best op­por­tu­nity for blend­ing in the cos­mopoli­tan pop­u­la­tion of North Amer­ica; and the fu­ture of that con­ti­nent will be de­ter­mined by the qual­ity of the racial fac­tors which are per­mit­ted to en­ter into its pres­ent and fu­ture pop­u­la­tions, as well as by the level of the so­cial cul­ture which is main­tained.
