Adamsonites

81:3.5Gold was the first metal to be sought by man; it was easy to work and, at first, was used only as an or­na­ment. Cop­per was next em­ployed but not ex­ten­sively un­til it was ad­mixed with tin to make the harder bronze. The dis­cov­ery of mix­ing cop­per and tin to make bronze was made by one of the Ad­am­son­ites of Tur­kes­tan whose high­land cop­per mine hap­pened to be lo­cated along­side a tin de­posit.

78:1.31. The vi­o­let race—Adamites and Ad­am­son­ites. The chief cen­ter of Adamite cul­ture was in the sec­ond gar­den, lo­cated in the tri­an­gle of the Tigris and Eu­phrates rivers; this was in­deed the cra­dle of Oc­ci­den­tal and In­dian civ­i­liza­tions. The sec­ondary or north­ern cen­ter of the vi­o­let race was the Ad­am­son­ite head­quar­ters, sit­u­ated east of the south­ern shore of the Caspian Sea near the Kopet moun­tains. From these two cen­ters there went forth to the sur­round­ing lands the cul­ture and life plasm which so im­me­di­ately quick­ened all the races.

80:7.3Al­most two thou­sand years af­ter the set­tle­ment of Crete a group of the tall de­scen­dants of Adam­son made their way over the north­ern is­lands to Greece, com­ing al­most di­rectly from their high­land home north of Mes­o­po­ta­mia. These pro­gen­i­tors of the Greeks were led west­ward by Sato, a di­rect de­scen­dant of Adam­son and Ratta.

80:7.4The group which fi­nally set­tled in Greece con­sisted of three hun­dred and sev­enty-five of the se­lected and su­pe­rior peo­ple com­pris­ing the end of the sec­ond civ­i­liza­tion of the Ad­am­son­ites. These later sons of Adam­son car­ried the then most valu­able strains of the emerg­ing white races. They were of a high in­tel­lec­tual or­der and, phys­i­cally re­garded, the most beau­ti­ful of men since the days of the first Eden.

77:5.9The Ad­am­son­ites main­tained a high cul­ture for al­most seven thou­sand years from the times of Adam­son and Ratta. Later on they be­came ad­mixed with the neigh­bor­ing Nod­ites and An­don­ites and were also in­cluded among the “mighty men of old.” And some of the ad­vances of that age per­sisted to be­come a la­tent part of the cul­tural po­ten­tial which later blos­somed into Eu­ro­pean civ­i­liza­tion.
