Andites

80:4.5The whole in­hab­ited world, out­side of China and the Eu­phrates re­gion, had made very lim­ited cul­tural prog­ress for ten thou­sand years when the hard-rid­ing And­ite horse­men made their ap­pear­ance in the sixth and sev­enth mil­len­ni­ums be­fore Christ. As they moved west­ward across the Rus­sian plains, ab­sorb­ing the best of the blue man and ex­ter­mi­nat­ing the worst, they be­came blended into one peo­ple. These were the an­ces­tors of the so-called Nordic races, the fore­fa­thers of the Scan­di­na­vian, Ger­man, and An­glo-Saxon peo­ples.

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.

81:6.4At the open­ing of the And­ite era there were only two ex­ten­sive and fer­tile open hunt­ing ar­eas in all the world. One was in North Amer­ica and was over­spread by the Amerinds; the other was to the north of Tur­kes­tan and was partly oc­cu­pied by an An­donic-yel­low race. The de­ci­sive fac­tors in the evo­lu­tion of a su­pe­rior cul­ture in south­west­ern Asia were race and cli­mate. The And­ites were a great peo­ple, but the cru­cial fac­tor in de­ter­min­ing the course of their civ­i­liza­tion was the in­creas­ing arid­ity of Iran, Tur­kes­tan, and Sinkiang, which forced them to in­vent and adopt new and ad­vanced meth­ods of wrest­ing a liveli­hood from their de­creas­ingly fer­tile lands.

86:4.8Al­most ev­ery group had a dif­fer­ent idea re­gard­ing the des­tiny of the ghost soul. The Greeks be­lieved that weak men must have weak souls; so they in­vented Hades as a fit place for the re­cep­tion of such ane­mic souls; these un­ro­bust spec­i­mens were also sup­posed to have shorter shad­ows. The early And­ites thought their ghosts re­turned to the an­ces­tral home­lands. The Chi­nese and Egyp­tians once be­lieved that soul and body re­mained to­gether. Among the Egyp­tians this led to care­ful tomb con­struc­tion and ef­forts at body preser­va­tion. Even mod­ern peo­ples seek to ar­rest the de­cay of the dead. The He­brews con­ceived that a phan­tom replica of the in­di­vid­ual went down to Sheol; it could not re­turn to the land of the liv­ing. They did make that im­por­tant ad­vance in the doc­trine of the evo­lu­tion of the soul.

78:4.3The And­ites were the best all-round hu­man stock to ap­pear on Uran­tia since the days of the pure-line vi­o­let peo­ples. They em­braced most of the high­est types of the sur­viv­ing rem­nants of the Adamite and Nod­ite races and, later, some of the best strains of the yel­low, blue, and green men.

78:4.4These early And­ites were not Aryan; they were pre-Aryan. They were not white; they were pre-white. They were nei­ther an Oc­ci­den­tal nor an Ori­en­tal peo­ple. But it is And­ite in­her­i­tance that gives to the poly­glot mix­ture of the so-called white races that gen­er­al­ized ho­mo­gene­ity which has been called Cau­ca­soid.

78:4.5The purer strains of the vi­o­let race had re­tained the Adamic tra­di­tion of peace-seek­ing, which ex­plains why the ear­lier race move­ments had been more in the na­ture of peace­ful mi­gra­tions. But as the Adamites united with the Nod­ite stocks, who were by this time a bel­liger­ent race, their And­ite de­scen­dants be­came, for their day and age, the most skill­ful and saga­cious mil­i­tarists ever to live on Uran­tia. Thence­forth the move­ments of the Mes­o­po­ta­mi­ans grew in­creas­ingly mil­i­tary in char­ac­ter and be­came more akin to ac­tual con­quests.

78:4.6These And­ites were ad­ven­tur­ous; they had rov­ing dis­po­si­tions. An in­crease of ei­ther San­gik or An­don­ite stock tended to sta­bi­lize them. But even so, their later de­scen­dants never stopped un­til they had cir­cum­nav­i­gated the globe and dis­cov­ered the last re­mote con­ti­nent.

80:4.3The ear­lier ex­pan­sions of the purer vi­o­let race were far more pa­cific than were those of their later semimil­i­tary and con­quest-lov­ing And­ite de­scen­dants. The Adamites were pa­cific; the Nod­ites were bel­liger­ent. The union of these stocks, as later min­gled with the San­gik races, pro­duced the able, ag­gres­sive And­ites who made ac­tual mil­i­tary con­quests.

78:5.8The mi­gra­tory con­quests of the And­ites con­tin­ued on down to their fi­nal dis­per­sions, from 8000 to 6000 B.C. As they poured out of Mes­o­po­ta­mia, they con­tin­u­ously de­pleted the bi­o­logic re­serves of their home­lands while markedly strength­en­ing the sur­round­ing peo­ples. And to ev­ery na­tion to which they jour­neyed, they con­tributed hu­mor, art, ad­ven­ture, mu­sic, and man­u­fac­ture. They were skill­ful do­mes­ti­ca­tors of an­i­mals and ex­pert agri­cul­tur­ists. For the time be­ing, at least, their pres­ence usu­ally im­proved the re­li­gious be­liefs and moral prac­tices of the older races. And so the cul­ture of Mes­o­po­ta­mia qui­etly spread out over Eu­rope, In­dia, China, north­ern Africa, and the Pa­cific Is­lands.

80:5.7The Cro-Mag­noid blue man con­sti­tuted the bi­o­logic foun­da­tion for the mod­ern Eu­ro­pean races, but they have sur­vived only as ab­sorbed by the later and vir­ile con­querors of their home­lands. The blue strain con­tributed many sturdy traits and much phys­i­cal vigor to the white races of Eu­rope, but the hu­mor and imag­i­na­tion of the blended Eu­ro­pean peo­ples were de­rived from the And­ites. This And­ite-blue union, re­sult­ing in the north­ern white races, pro­duced an im­me­di­ate lapse of And­ite civ­i­liza­tion, a re­tar­da­tion of a tran­sient na­ture. Even­tu­ally, the la­tent su­pe­ri­or­ity of these north­ern bar­bar­ians man­i­fested it­self and cul­mi­nated in pres­ent-day Eu­ro­pean civ­i­liza­tion.

81:3.8In­fu­sion of the Adamic stock into the hu­man races not only quick­ened the pace of civ­i­liza­tion, but it also greatly stim­u­lated their pro­cliv­i­ties to­ward ad­ven­ture and ex­plo­ration to the end that most of Eura­sia and north­ern Africa was pres­ently oc­cu­pied by the rapidly mul­ti­ply­ing mixed de­scen­dants of the And­ites.

83:2.5In­creas­ing love, ro­mance, and per­sonal se­lec­tion in pre­mar­i­tal court­ship are an And­ite con­tri­bu­tion to the world races. The re­la­tions be­tween the sexes are evolv­ing fa­vor­ably; many ad­vanc­ing peo­ples are grad­u­ally sub­sti­tut­ing some­what ide­al­ized con­cepts of sex at­trac­tion for those older mo­tives of util­ity and own­er­ship. Sex im­pulse and feel­ings of af­fec­tion are be­gin­ning to dis­place cold cal­cu­la­tion in the choos­ing of life part­ners.

84:8.4There is real dan­ger in the com­bi­na­tion of rest­less­ness, cu­rios­ity, ad­ven­ture, and plea­sure-aban­don char­ac­ter­is­tic of the post-And­ite races. The hunger of the soul can­not be sat­is­fied with phys­i­cal plea­sures; the love of home and chil­dren is not aug­mented by the un­wise pur­suit of plea­sure. Though you ex­haust the re­sources of art, color, sound, rhythm, mu­sic, and adorn­ment of per­son, you can­not hope thereby to el­e­vate the soul or to nour­ish the spirit. Van­ity and fash­ion can­not min­is­ter to home build­ing and child cul­ture; pride and ri­valry are pow­er­less to en­hance the sur­vival qual­i­ties of suc­ceed­ing gen­er­a­tions.

81:2.11Most of the an­i­mals best suited to do­mes­ti­ca­tion were found in Asia, es­pe­cially in the cen­tral to south­west re­gions. This was one rea­son why civ­i­liza­tion pro­gressed faster in that lo­cal­ity than in other parts of the world. Many of these an­i­mals had been twice be­fore do­mes­ti­cated, and in the And­ite age they were re­tamed once again. But the dog had re­mained with the hunters ever since be­ing adopted by the blue man long, long be­fore.

81:2.12The And­ites of Tur­kes­tan were the first peo­ples to ex­ten­sively do­mes­ti­cate the horse, and this is an­other rea­son why their cul­ture was for so long pre­dom­i­nant. By 5000 B.C. the Mes­o­po­ta­mian, Tur­kes­tan, and Chi­nese farm­ers had be­gun the rais­ing of sheep, goats, cows, camels, horses, fowls, and ele­phants. They em­ployed as beasts of bur­den the ox, camel, horse, and yak. Man was him­self at one time the beast of bur­den. One ruler of the blue race once had one hun­dred thou­sand men in his colony of bur­den bear­ers.

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.

84:7.29Hu­man so­ci­ety would be greatly im­proved if the civ­i­lized races would more gen­er­ally re­turn to the fam­ily-coun­cil prac­tices of the And­ites. They did not main­tain the pa­tri­ar­chal or au­to­cratic form of fam­ily gov­ern­ment. They were very broth­erly and as­so­cia­tive, freely and frankly dis­cussing ev­ery pro­posal and reg­u­la­tion of a fam­ily na­ture. They were ide­ally fra­ter­nal in all their fam­ily gov­ern­ment. In an ideal fam­ily fil­ial and pa­ren­tal af­fec­tion are both aug­mented by fra­ter­nal de­vo­tion.

103:6.10Early man did not dif­fer­en­ti­ate be­tween the en­ergy level and the spirit level. It was the vi­o­let race and their And­ite suc­ces­sors who first at­tempted to di­vorce the math­e­mat­i­cal from the vo­li­tional. In­creas­ingly has civ­i­lized man fol­lowed in the foot­steps of the ear­li­est Greeks and the Sume­ri­ans who dis­tin­guished be­tween the inan­i­mate and the an­i­mate. And as civ­i­liza­tion pro­gresses, phi­los­o­phy will have to bridge ever-widen­ing gulfs be­tween the spirit con­cept and the en­ergy con­cept. But in the time of space these di­ver­gen­cies are at one in the Su­preme.

80:4.4But the horse was the evo­lu­tion­ary fac­tor which de­ter­mined the dom­i­nance of the And­ites in the Oc­ci­dent. The horse gave the dis­pers­ing And­ites the hith­erto nonex­is­tent ad­van­tage of mo­bil­ity, en­abling the last groups of And­ite cav­al­ry­men to pro­gress quickly around the Caspian Sea to over­run all of Eu­rope. All pre­vi­ous waves of And­ites had moved so slowly that they tended to dis­in­te­grate at any great dis­tance from Mes­o­po­ta­mia. But these later waves moved so rapidly that they reached Eu­rope as co­her­ent groups, still re­tain­ing some mea­sure of higher cul­ture.

79:5.7The North Amer­i­can In­di­ans never came in con­tact with even the And­ite off­spring of Adam and Eve, hav­ing been dis­pos­sessed of their Asi­atic home­lands some fifty thou­sand years be­fore the com­ing of Adam. Dur­ing the age of And­ite mi­gra­tions the pure red strains were spread­ing out over North Amer­ica as no­madic tribes, hunters who prac­ticed agri­cul­ture to a small ex­tent. These races and cul­tural groups re­mained al­most com­pletely iso­lated from the re­main­der of the world from their ar­rival in the Amer­i­cas down to the end of the first mil­len­nium of the Chris­tian era, when they were dis­cov­ered by the white races of Eu­rope. Up to that time the Es­ki­mos were the near­est to white men the north­ern tribes of red men had ever seen.

• from 25,000 B.C. to 6000 B.C.

78:3.9These racial dis­tri­bu­tions, as­so­ci­ated with ex­ten­sive cli­matic changes, set the world stage for the in­au­gu­ra­tion of the And­ite era of Uran­tia civ­i­liza­tion. These early mi­gra­tions ex­tended over a pe­riod of ten thou­sand years, from 25,000 to 15,000 B.C. The later or And­ite mi­gra­tions ex­tended from about 15,000 to 6000 B.C.

78:5.1For twenty thou­sand years the cul­ture of the sec­ond gar­den per­sisted, but it ex­pe­ri­enced a steady de­cline un­til about 15,000 B.C., when the re­gen­er­a­tion of the Sethite priest­hood and the lead­er­ship of Amosad in­au­gu­rated a bril­liant era. The mas­sive waves of civ­i­liza­tion which later spread over Eura­sia im­me­di­ately fol­lowed the great re­nais­sance of the Gar­den con­se­quent upon the ex­ten­sive union of the Adamites with the sur­round­ing mixed Nod­ites to form the And­ites.

78:5.2These And­ites in­au­gu­rated new ad­vances through­out Eura­sia and North Africa. From Mes­o­po­ta­mia through Sinkiang the And­ite cul­ture was dom­i­nant, and the steady mi­gra­tion to­ward Eu­rope was con­tin­u­ously off­set by new ar­rivals from Mes­o­po­ta­mia. But it is hardly cor­rect to speak of the And­ites as a race in Mes­o­po­ta­mia proper un­til near the be­gin­ning of the ter­mi­nal mi­gra­tions of the mixed de­scen­dants of Adam. By this time even the races in the sec­ond gar­den had be­come so blended that they could no longer be con­sid­ered Adamites.

78:5.3The civ­i­liza­tion of Tur­kes­tan was con­stantly be­ing re­vived and re­freshed by the new­com­ers from Mes­o­po­ta­mia, es­pe­cially by the later And­ite cav­al­ry­men. The so-called Aryan mother tongue was in pro­cess of for­ma­tion in the high­lands of Tur­kes­tan; it was a blend of the An­donic di­alect of that re­gion with the lan­guage of the Ad­am­son­ites and later And­ites. Many mod­ern lan­guages are de­rived from this early speech of these cen­tral Asian tribes who con­quered Eu­rope, In­dia, and the up­per stretches of the Mes­o­po­ta­mian plains. This an­cient lan­guage gave the Oc­ci­den­tal tongues all of that sim­i­lar­ity which is called Aryan.

78:5.4By 12,000 B.C. three quar­ters of the And­ite stock of the world was res­i­dent in north­ern and east­ern Eu­rope, and when the later and fi­nal ex­o­dus from Mes­o­po­ta­mia took place, sixty-five per cent of these last waves of em­i­gra­tion en­tered Eu­rope.

78:5.5The And­ites not only mi­grated to Eu­rope but to north­ern China and In­dia, while many groups pen­e­trated to the ends of the earth as mis­sion­ar­ies, teach­ers, and traders. They con­tributed con­sid­er­ably to the north­ern groups of the Sa­ha­ran San­gik peo­ples. But only a few teach­ers and traders ever pen­e­trated far­ther south in Africa than the head­wa­ters of the Nile. Later on, mixed And­ites and Egyp­tians fol­lowed down both the east and west coasts of Africa well be­low the equa­tor, but they did not reach Mada­gas­car.

• Dravidian and Aryan conquerors of India; submerged

78:5.6These And­ites were the so-called Dra­vid­ian and later Aryan con­querors of In­dia; and their pres­ence in cen­tral Asia greatly up­stepped the an­ces­tors of the Tu­ra­ni­ans. Many of this race jour­neyed to China by way of both Sinkiang and Ti­bet and added de­sir­able qual­i­ties to the later Chi­nese stocks. From time to time small groups made their way into Japan, For­mosa, the East In­dies, and south­ern China, though very few en­tered south­ern China by the coastal route.

• 132 A. from Japan ancestry of Incan rulers

78:5.7One hun­dred and thirty-two of this race, em­bark­ing in a fleet of small boats from Japan, even­tu­ally reached South Amer­ica and by in­ter­mar­riage with the na­tives of the An­des es­tab­lished the an­ces­try of the later rulers of the In­cas. They crossed the Pa­cific by easy stages, tar­ry­ing on the many is­lands they found along the way. The is­lands of the Poly­ne­sian group were both more nu­mer­ous and larger then than now, and these And­ite sailors, to­gether with some who fol­lowed them, bi­o­log­i­cally mod­i­fied the na­tive groups in tran­sit. Many flour­ish­ing cen­ters of civ­i­liza­tion grew up on these now sub­merged lands as a re­sult of And­ite pen­e­tra­tion. Easter Is­land was long a re­li­gious and ad­min­is­tra­tive cen­ter of one of these lost groups. But of the And­ites who nav­i­gated the Pa­cific of long ago none but the one hun­dred and thirty-two ever reached the main­land of the Amer­i­cas.

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.

• best strains near mouths of Tigris, Euphrates

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.

• evacuated Mesopotamia by 6000 B.C.

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.

• best strains near mouths of Tigris, Euphrates
• Sumerians were the last

78:8.1When the last And­ite dis­per­sion broke the bi­o­logic back­bone of Mes­o­po­ta­mian civ­i­liza­tion, a small mi­nor­ity of this su­pe­rior race re­mained in their home­land near the mouths of the rivers. These were the Sume­ri­ans, and by 6000 B.C. they had be­come largely And­ite in ex­trac­tion, though their cul­ture was more ex­clu­sively Nod­ite in char­ac­ter, and they clung to the an­cient tra­di­tions of Dala­ma­tia. Nonethe­less, these Sume­ri­ans of the coastal re­gions were the last of the And­ites in Mes­o­po­ta­mia. But the races of Mes­o­po­ta­mia were al­ready thor­oughly blended by this late date, as is ev­i­denced by the skull types found in the graves of this era.

79:1.1For over twenty-five thou­sand years, on down to nearly 2000 B.C., the heart of Eura­sia was pre­dom­i­nantly, though di­min­ish­ingly, And­ite. In the low­lands of Tur­kes­tan the And­ites made the west­ward turn­ing around the in­land lakes into Eu­rope, while from the high­lands of this re­gion they in­fil­trated east­ward. East­ern Tur­kes­tan (Sinkiang) and, to a lesser ex­tent, Ti­bet were the an­cient gate­ways through which these peo­ples of Mes­o­po­ta­mia pen­e­trated the moun­tains to the north­ern lands of the yel­low men. The And­ite in­fil­tra­tion of In­dia pro­ceeded from the Tur­kes­tan high­lands into the Pun­jab and from the Ira­nian graz­ing lands through Baluchis­tan. These ear­lier mi­gra­tions were in no sense con­quests; they were, rather, the con­tin­ual drift­ing of the And­ite tribes into west­ern In­dia and China.

79:1.2For al­most fif­teen thou­sand years cen­ters of mixed And­ite cul­ture per­sisted in the basin of the Tarim River in Sinkiang and to the south in the high­land re­gions of Ti­bet, where the And­ites and An­don­ites had ex­ten­sively min­gled. The Tarim val­ley was the east­ern­most out­post of the true And­ite cul­ture. Here they built their set­tle­ments and en­tered into trade re­la­tions with the pro­gres­sive Chi­nese to the east and with the An­don­ites to the north. In those days the Tarim re­gion was a fer­tile land; the rain­fall was plen­ti­ful. To the east the Gobi was an open grass­land where the herders were grad­u­ally turn­ing to agri­cul­ture. This civ­i­liza­tion per­ished when the rain winds shifted to the south­east, but in its day it ri­valed Mes­o­po­ta­mia it­self.

79:1.3By 8000 B.C. the slowly in­creas­ing arid­ity of the high­land re­gions of cen­tral Asia be­gan to drive the And­ites to the river bot­toms and the seashores. This in­creas­ing drought not only drove them to the val­leys of the Nile, Eu­phrates, In­dus, and Yel­low rivers, but it pro­duced a new de­vel­op­ment in And­ite civ­i­liza­tion. A new class of men, the traders, be­gan to ap­pear in large num­bers.

79:1.4When cli­matic con­di­tions made hunt­ing un­prof­itable for the mi­grat­ing And­ites, they did not fol­low the evo­lu­tion­ary course of the older races by be­com­ing herders. Com­merce and ur­ban life made their ap­pear­ance. From Egypt through Mes­o­po­ta­mia and Tur­kes­tan to the rivers of China and In­dia, the more highly civ­i­lized tribes be­gan to as­sem­ble in cities de­voted to man­u­fac­ture and trade. Ado­nia be­came the cen­tral Asian com­mer­cial metropo­lis, be­ing lo­cated near the pres­ent city of Ashkhabad. Com­merce in stone, metal, wood, and pot­tery was ac­cel­er­ated on both land and wa­ter.

79:1.5But ever-in­creas­ing drought grad­u­ally brought about the great And­ite ex­o­dus from the lands south and east of the Caspian Sea. The tide of mi­gra­tion be­gan to veer from north­ward to south­ward, and the Baby­lo­nian cav­al­ry­men be­gan to push into Mes­o­po­ta­mia.

79:1.6In­creas­ing arid­ity in cen­tral Asia fur­ther op­er­ated to re­duce pop­u­la­tion and to ren­der these peo­ple less war­like; and when the di­min­ish­ing rain­fall to the north forced the no­madic An­don­ites south­ward, there was a tremen­dous ex­o­dus of And­ites from Tur­kes­tan. This is the ter­mi­nal move­ment of the so-called Aryans into the Lev­ant and In­dia. It cul­mi­nated that long dis­per­sal of the mixed de­scen­dants of Adam dur­ing which ev­ery Asi­atic and most of the is­land peo­ples of the Pa­cific were to some ex­tent im­proved by these su­pe­rior races.

79:1.7Thus, while they dis­persed over the East­ern Hemi­sphere, the And­ites were dis­pos­sessed of their home­lands in Mes­o­po­ta­mia and Tur­kes­tan, for it was this ex­ten­sive south­ward move­ment of An­don­ites that di­luted the And­ites in cen­tral Asia nearly to the van­ish­ing point.

79:1.8But even in the twen­ti­eth cen­tury af­ter Christ there are traces of And­ite blood among the Tu­ra­nian and Ti­betan peo­ples, as is wit­nessed by the blond types oc­ca­sion­ally found in these re­gions. The early Chi­nese an­nals re­cord the pres­ence of the red-haired no­mads to the north of the peace­ful set­tle­ments of the Yel­low River, and there still re­main paint­ings which faith­fully re­cord the pres­ence of both the blond-And­ite and the brunet-Mon­go­lian types in the Tarim basin of long ago.

79:1.9The last great man­i­fes­ta­tion of the sub­merged mil­i­tary ge­nius of the cen­tral Asi­atic And­ites was in A.D. 1200, when the Mon­gols un­der Genghis Khan be­gan the con­quest of the greater por­tion of the Asi­atic con­ti­nent. And like the And­ites of old, these war­riors pro­claimed the ex­is­tence of “one God in heaven.” The early breakup of their em­pire long de­layed cul­tural in­ter­course be­tween Oc­ci­dent and Ori­ent and greatly hand­i­capped the growth of the mono­the­is­tic con­cept in Asia.

79:5.1While the story of In­dia is that of And­ite con­quest and even­tual sub­mer­gence in the older evo­lu­tion­ary peo­ples, the nar­ra­tive of east­ern Asia is more prop­erly that of the pri­mary San­giks, par­tic­u­larly the red man and the yel­low man. These two races largely es­caped that ad­mix­ture with the de­based Ne­an­derthal strain which so greatly re­tarded the blue man in Eu­rope, thus pre­serv­ing the su­pe­rior po­ten­tial of the pri­mary San­gik type.

79:5.9These civ­i­liza­tions were evo­lu­tion­ary prod­ucts of the San­giks, not­with­stand­ing that traces of And­ite blood reached Peru. Ex­cept­ing the Es­ki­mos in North Amer­ica and a few Poly­ne­sian And­ites in South Amer­ica, the peo­ples of the West­ern Hemi­sphere had no con­tact with the rest of the world un­til the end of the first mil­len­nium af­ter Christ. In the orig­i­nal Mel­chiz­e­dek plan for the im­prove­ment of the Uran­tia races it had been stip­u­lated that one mil­lion of the pure-line de­scen­dants of Adam should go to up­step the red men of the Amer­i­cas.

80:1.1Be­fore the last And­ites were driven out of the Eu­phrates val­ley, many of their breth­ren had en­tered Eu­rope as ad­ven­tur­ers, teach­ers, traders, and war­riors. Dur­ing the ear­lier days of the vi­o­let race the Med­i­ter­ra­nean trough was pro­tected by the Gibral­tar isth­mus and the Si­cil­ian land bridge. Some of man’s very early mar­itime com­merce was es­tab­lished on these in­land lakes, where blue men from the north and the Sa­ha­rans from the south met Nod­ites and Adamites from the east.

80:4.1While the And­ites poured into Eu­rope in a steady stream, there were seven ma­jor in­va­sions, the last ar­rivals com­ing on horse­back in three great waves. Some en­tered Eu­rope by way of the is­lands of the Aegean and up the Danube val­ley, but the ma­jor­ity of the ear­lier and purer strains mi­grated to north­west­ern Eu­rope by the north­ern route across the graz­ing lands of the Volga and the Don.

80:4.2Be­tween the third and fourth in­va­sions a horde of An­don­ites en­tered Eu­rope from the north, hav­ing come from Siberia by way of the Rus­sian rivers and the Baltic. They were im­me­di­ately as­sim­i­lated by the north­ern And­ite tribes.

80:4.6It was not long be­fore the su­pe­rior blue strains had been fully ab­sorbed by the And­ites through­out all north­ern Eu­rope. Only in La­p­land (and to a cer­tain ex­tent in Brit­tany) did the older An­don­ites re­tain even a sem­blance of iden­tity.

80:5.1The tribes of north­ern Eu­rope were be­ing con­tin­u­ously re­in­forced and up­stepped by the steady stream of mi­grants from Mes­o­po­ta­mia through the Tur­kes­tan-south Rus­sian re­gions, and when the last waves of And­ite cav­alry swept over Eu­rope, there were al­ready more men with And­ite in­her­i­tance in that re­gion than were to be found in all the rest of the world.

80:5.2For three thou­sand years the mil­i­tary head­quar­ters of the north­ern And­ites was in Den­mark. From this cen­tral point there went forth the suc­ces­sive waves of con­quest, which grew de­creas­ingly And­ite and in­creas­ingly white as the pass­ing cen­turies wit­nessed the fi­nal blend­ing of the Mes­o­po­ta­mian con­querors with the con­quered peo­ples.

80:5.3While the blue man had been ab­sorbed in the north and even­tu­ally suc­cumbed to the white cav­alry raiders who pen­e­trated the south, the ad­vanc­ing tribes of the mixed white race met with stub­born and pro­tracted re­sis­tance from the Cro-Magnons, but su­pe­rior in­tel­li­gence and ever-aug­ment­ing bi­o­logic re­serves en­abled them to wipe the older race out of ex­is­tence.

80:5.4The de­ci­sive strug­gles be­tween the white man and the blue man were fought out in the val­ley of the Somme. Here, the flower of the blue race bit­terly con­tested the south­ward-mov­ing And­ites, and for over five hun­dred years these Cro-Mag­noids suc­cess­fully de­fended their ter­ri­to­ries be­fore suc­cumb­ing to the su­pe­rior mil­i­tary strat­egy of the white in­vaders. Thor, the vic­to­ri­ous com­man­der of the armies of the north in the fi­nal bat­tle of the Somme, be­came the hero of the north­ern white tribes and later on was revered as a god by some of them.

80:5.5The strongholds of the blue man which per­sisted longest were in south­ern France, but the last great mil­i­tary re­sis­tance was over­come along the Somme. The later con­quest pro­gressed by com­mer­cial pen­e­tra­tion, pop­u­la­tion pres­sure along the rivers, and by con­tin­ued in­ter­mar­riage with the su­pe­ri­ors, cou­pled with the ruth­less ex­ter­mi­na­tion of the in­fe­ri­ors.

80:5.6When the tribal coun­cil of the And­ite el­ders had ad­judged an in­fe­rior cap­tive to be un­fit, he was, by elab­o­rate cer­e­mony, com­mit­ted to the shaman priests, who es­corted him to the river and ad­min­is­tered the rites of ini­ti­a­tion to the “happy hunt­ing grounds”—lethal sub­mer­gence. In this way the white in­vaders of Eu­rope ex­ter­mi­nated all peo­ples en­coun­tered who were not quickly ab­sorbed into their own ranks, and thus did the blue man come to an end—and quickly.

80:5.8By 5000 B.C. the evolv­ing white races were dom­i­nant through­out all of north­ern Eu­rope, in­clud­ing north­ern Ger­many, north­ern France, and the British Isles. Cen­tral Eu­rope was for some time con­trolled by the blue man and the round-headed An­don­ites. The lat­ter were mainly sit­u­ated in the Danube val­ley and were never en­tirely dis­placed by the And­ites.

80:6.1From the times of the ter­mi­nal And­ite mi­gra­tions, cul­ture de­clined in the Eu­phrates val­ley, and the im­me­di­ate cen­ter of civ­i­liza­tion shifted to the val­ley of the Nile. Egypt be­came the suc­ces­sor of Mes­o­po­ta­mia as the head­quar­ters of the most ad­vanced group on earth.

80:6.2The Nile val­ley be­gan to suf­fer from floods shortly be­fore the Mes­o­po­ta­mian val­leys but fared much bet­ter. This early set­back was more than com­pen­sated by the con­tin­u­ing stream of And­ite im­mi­grants, so that the cul­ture of Egypt, though re­ally de­rived from the Eu­phrates re­gion, seemed to forge ahead. But in 5000 B.C., dur­ing the flood pe­riod in Mes­o­po­ta­mia, there were seven dis­tinct groups of hu­man be­ings in Egypt; all of them, save one, came from Mes­o­po­ta­mia.

80:6.3When the last ex­o­dus from the Eu­phrates val­ley oc­curred, Egypt was for­tu­nate in gain­ing so many of the most skill­ful artists and ar­ti­sans. These And­ite ar­ti­sans found them­selves quite at home in that they were thor­oughly fa­mil­iar with river life, its floods, ir­ri­ga­tions, and dry sea­sons. They en­joyed the shel­tered po­si­tion of the Nile val­ley; they were there much less sub­ject to hos­tile raids and at­tacks than along the Eu­phrates. And they added greatly to the met­al­work­ing skill of the Egyp­tians. Here they worked iron ores com­ing from Mount Sinai in­stead of from the Black Sea re­gions.

80:6.4The Egyp­tians very early as­sem­bled their mu­nic­i­pal de­i­ties into an elab­o­rate na­tional sys­tem of gods. They de­vel­oped an ex­ten­sive the­ol­ogy and had an equally ex­ten­sive but bur­den­some priest­hood. Sev­eral dif­fer­ent lead­ers sought to re­vive the rem­nants of the early re­li­gious teach­ings of the Sethites, but these en­deav­ors were short-lived. The And­ites built the first stone struc­tures in Egypt. The first and most ex­qui­site of the stone pyra­mids was erected by Imhotep, an And­ite ar­chi­tec­tural ge­nius, while serv­ing as prime min­is­ter. Pre­vi­ous build­ings had been con­structed of brick, and while many stone struc­tures had been erected in dif­fer­ent parts of the world, this was the first in Egypt. But the art of build­ing steadily de­clined from the days of this great ar­chi­tect.

80:6.5This bril­liant epoch of cul­ture was cut short by in­ter­nal war­fare along the Nile, and the coun­try was soon over­run, as Mes­o­po­ta­mia had been, by the in­fe­rior tribes from in­hos­pitable Ara­bia and by the blacks from the south. As a re­sult, so­cial prog­ress steadily de­clined for more than five hun­dred years.

80:7.1Dur­ing the de­cline of cul­ture in Mes­o­po­ta­mia there per­sisted for some time a su­pe­rior civ­i­liza­tion on the is­lands of the east­ern Med­i­ter­ra­nean.

80:7.2About 12,000 B.C. a bril­liant tribe of And­ites mi­grated to Crete. This was the only is­land set­tled so early by such a su­pe­rior group, and it was al­most two thou­sand years be­fore the de­scen­dants of these mariners spread to the neigh­bor­ing isles. This group were the nar­row-headed, smaller-statured And­ites who had in­ter­mar­ried with the Van­ite di­vi­sion of the north­ern Nod­ites. They were all un­der six feet in height and had been lit­er­ally driven off the main­land by their larger and in­fe­rior fel­lows. These em­i­grants to Crete were highly skilled in tex­tiles, met­als, pot­tery, plumb­ing, and the use of stone for build­ing ma­te­rial. They en­gaged in writ­ing and car­ried on as herders and agri­cul­tur­ists.

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.

80:7.5Pres­ently Greece and the Aegean Is­lands re­gion suc­ceeded Mes­o­po­ta­mia and Egypt as the Oc­ci­den­tal cen­ter of trade, art, and cul­ture. But as it was in Egypt, so again prac­ti­cally all of the art and sci­ence of the Aegean world was de­rived from Mes­o­po­ta­mia ex­cept for the cul­ture of the Ad­am­son­ite fore­run­ners of the Greeks. All the art and ge­nius of these lat­ter peo­ple is a di­rect legacy of the pos­ter­ity of Adam­son, the first son of Adam and Eve, and his ex­traor­di­nary sec­ond wife, a daugh­ter de­scended in an un­bro­ken line from the pure Nod­ite staff of Prince Cali­gas­tia. No won­der the Greeks had mytho­log­i­cal tra­di­tions that they were di­rectly de­scended from gods and super­hu­man be­ings.

80:7.6The Aegean re­gion passed through five dis­tinct cul­tural stages, each less spir­i­tual than the pre­ced­ing, and ere­long the last glo­ri­ous era of art per­ished be­neath the weight of the rapidly mul­ti­ply­ing mediocre de­scen­dants of the Danu­bian slaves who had been im­ported by the later gen­er­a­tions of Greeks.

80:7.7It was dur­ing this age in Crete that the mother cult of the de­scen­dants of Cain at­tained its great­est vogue. This cult glo­ri­fied Eve in the wor­ship of the “great mother.” Im­ages of Eve were ev­ery­where. Thou­sands of pub­lic shrines were erected through­out Crete and Asia Mi­nor. And this mother cult per­sisted on down to the times of Christ, be­com­ing later in­cor­po­rated in the early Chris­tian re­li­gion un­der the guise of the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion and wor­ship of Mary the earth mother of Je­sus.

80:7.8By about 6500 B.C. there had oc­curred a great de­cline in the spir­i­tual her­itage of the And­ites. The de­scen­dants of Adam were widespreadly dis­persed and had been vir­tu­ally swal­lowed up in the older and more nu­mer­ous hu­man races. And this deca­dence of And­ite civ­i­liza­tion, to­gether with the dis­ap­pear­ance of their re­li­gious stan­dards, left the spir­i­tu­ally im­pov­er­ished races of the world in a de­plorable con­di­tion.

80:7.9By 5000 B.C. the three purest strains of Adam’s de­scen­dants were in Sume­ria, north­ern Eu­rope, and Greece. The whole of Mes­o­po­ta­mia was be­ing slowly de­te­ri­o­rated by the stream of mixed and darker races which fil­tered in from Ara­bia. And the com­ing of these in­fe­rior peo­ples con­tributed fur­ther to the scat­ter­ing abroad of the bi­o­logic and cul­tural residue of the And­ites. From all over the fer­tile cres­cent the more ad­ven­tur­ous peo­ples poured west­ward to the is­lands. These mi­grants cul­ti­vated both grain and veg­eta­bles, and they brought do­mes­ti­cated an­i­mals with them.

80:7.10About 5000 B.C. a mighty host of pro­gres­sive Mes­o­po­ta­mi­ans moved out of the Eu­phrates val­ley and set­tled upon the is­land of Cyprus; this civ­i­liza­tion was wiped out about two thou­sand years sub­se­quently by the bar­bar­ian hordes from the north.

80:7.11An­other great colony set­tled on the Med­i­ter­ra­nean near the later site of Carthage. And from north Africa large num­bers of And­ites en­tered Spain and later min­gled in Switzer­land with their breth­ren who had ear­lier come to Italy from the Aegean Is­lands.

80:7.12When Egypt fol­lowed Mes­o­po­ta­mia in cul­tural de­cline, many of the more able and ad­vanced fam­i­lies fled to Crete, thus greatly aug­ment­ing this al­ready ad­vanced civ­i­liza­tion. And when the ar­rival of in­fe­rior groups from Egypt later threat­ened the civ­i­liza­tion of Crete, the more cul­tured fam­i­lies moved on west to Greece.

80:7.13The Greeks were not only great teach­ers and artists, they were also the world’s great­est traders and col­o­niz­ers. Be­fore suc­cumb­ing to the flood of in­fe­ri­or­ity which even­tu­ally en­gulfed their art and com­merce, they suc­ceeded in plant­ing so many out­posts of cul­ture to the west that a great many of the ad­vances in early Greek civ­i­liza­tion per­sisted in the later peo­ples of south­ern Eu­rope, and many of the mixed de­scen­dants of these Ad­am­son­ites be­came in­cor­po­rated in the tribes of the ad­ja­cent main­lands.

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

80:9.3The 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.

80:9.83. 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.

• in Europe, Mediterranean region

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.

• Dravidian and Aryan conquerors of India; submerged

94:1.1In the days of Mel­chiz­e­dek, In­dia was a cos­mopoli­tan coun­try which had re­cently come un­der the po­lit­i­cal and re­li­gious dom­i­nance of the Aryan-And­ite in­vaders from the north and west. At this time only the north­ern and west­ern por­tions of the penin­sula had been ex­ten­sively per­me­ated by the Aryans. These Vedic new­com­ers had brought along with them their many tribal de­i­ties. Their re­li­gious forms of wor­ship fol­lowed closely the cer­e­mo­nial prac­tices of their ear­lier And­ite fore­bears in that the fa­ther still func­tioned as a priest and the mother as a priest­ess, and the fam­ily hearth was still uti­lized as an al­tar.

80:8.1The And­ite peo­ples of the Eu­phrates val­ley mi­grated north to Eu­rope to min­gle with the blue men and west into the Med­i­ter­ra­nean re­gions to mix with the rem­nants of the com­min­gled Sa­ha­rans and the south­ern blue men. And these two branches of the white race were, and now are, widely sep­a­rated by the broad-headed moun­tain sur­vivors of the ear­lier An­don­ite tribes which had long in­hab­ited these cen­tral re­gions.

84:7.21Es­kimo chil­dren thrive on so lit­tle dis­ci­pline and cor­rec­tion sim­ply be­cause they are nat­u­rally docile lit­tle an­i­mals; the chil­dren of both the red and the yel­low men are al­most equally tractable. But in races con­tain­ing And­ite in­her­i­tance, chil­dren are not so placid; these more imag­i­na­tive and ad­ven­tur­ous youths re­quire more train­ing and dis­ci­pline. Mod­ern prob­lems of child cul­ture are ren­dered in­creas­ingly dif­fi­cult by:

• began when Adam impregnated Nodite women

76:4.8Af­ter be­com­ing es­tab­lished in the sec­ond gar­den on the Eu­phrates, Adam elected to leave be­hind as much of his life plasm as pos­si­ble to ben­e­fit the world af­ter his death. Ac­cord­ingly, Eve was made the head of a com­mis­sion of twelve on race im­prove­ment, and be­fore Adam died this com­mis­sion had se­lected 1,682 of the high­est type of women on Uran­tia, and these women were im­preg­nated with the Adamic life plasm. Their chil­dren all grew up to ma­tu­rity ex­cept 112, so that the world, in this way, was ben­e­fited by the ad­di­tion of 1,570 su­pe­rior men and women. Though these can­di­date moth­ers were se­lected from all the sur­round­ing tribes and rep­re­sented most of the races on earth, the ma­jor­ity were cho­sen from the high­est strains of the Nod­ites, and they con­sti­tuted the early be­gin­nings of the mighty And­ite race. These chil­dren were born and reared in the tribal sur­round­ings of their re­spec­tive moth­ers.

• embraced Adamites, Nodites, and best strains of yellow, blue, and green races

77:3.9About twelve thou­sand years ago a sec­ond at­tempt to erect the tower of Ba­bel was made. The mixed races of the And­ites (Nod­ites and Adamites) un­der­took to raise a new tem­ple on the ru­ins of the first struc­ture, but there was not suf­fi­cient sup­port for the en­ter­prise; it fell of its own pre­ten­tious weight. This re­gion was long known as the land of Ba­bel.

• embraced Adamites, Nodites, and best strains of yellow, blue, and green races

78:0.1The sec­ond Eden was the cra­dle of civ­i­liza­tion for al­most thirty thou­sand years. Here in Mes­o­po­ta­mia the Adamic peo­ples held forth, send­ing out their progeny to the ends of the earth, and lat­terly, as amal­ga­mated with the Nod­ite and San­gik tribes, were known as the And­ites. From this re­gion went those men and women who ini­ti­ated the do­ings of his­toric times, and who have so enor­mously ac­cel­er­ated cul­tural prog­ress on Uran­tia.

78:0.2This pa­per de­picts the plan­e­tary his­tory of the vi­o­let race, be­gin­ning soon af­ter the de­fault of Adam, about 35,000 B.C., and ex­tend­ing down through its amal­ga­ma­tion with the Nod­ite and San­gik races, about 15,000 B.C., to form the And­ite peo­ples and on to its fi­nal dis­ap­pear­ance from the Mes­o­po­ta­mian home­lands, about 2000 B.C.

• 1/8 to 1/6 Adamic blood
• embraced Adamites, Nodites, and best strains of yellow, blue, and green races

78:4.1The And­ite races were the pri­mary blends of the pure-line vi­o­let race and the Nod­ites plus the evo­lu­tion­ary peo­ples. In gen­eral, And­ites should be thought of as hav­ing a far greater per­cent­age of Adamic blood than the mod­ern races. In the main, the term And­ite is used to des­ig­nate those peo­ples whose racial in­her­i­tance was from one-eighth to one-sixth vi­o­let. Mod­ern Uran­tians, even the north­ern white races, con­tain much less than this per­cent­age of the blood of Adam.

78:4.2The ear­li­est And­ite peo­ples took ori­gin in the re­gions ad­ja­cent to Mes­o­po­ta­mia more than twenty-five thou­sand years ago and con­sisted of a blend of the Adamites and Nod­ites. The sec­ond gar­den was sur­rounded by con­cen­tric cir­cles of di­min­ish­ing vi­o­let blood, and it was on the pe­riph­ery of this racial melt­ing pot that the And­ite race was born. Later on, when the mi­grat­ing Adamites and Nod­ites en­tered the then fer­tile re­gions of Tur­kes­tan, they soon blended with the su­pe­rior in­hab­i­tants, and the re­sul­tant race mix­ture ex­tended the And­ite type north­ward.

89:5.3Can­ni­bal­ism was once well-nigh uni­ver­sal among the evolv­ing races. The San­giks were all can­ni­bal­is­tic, but orig­i­nally the An­don­ites were not, nor were the Nod­ites and Adamites; nei­ther were the And­ites un­til af­ter they had be­come grossly ad­mixed with the evo­lu­tion­ary races.

89:6.1Hu­man sac­ri­fice was an in­di­rect re­sult of can­ni­bal­ism as well as its cure. Pro­vid­ing spirit es­corts to the spirit world also led to the less­en­ing of man-eat­ing as it was never the cus­tom to eat these death sac­ri­fices. No race has been en­tirely free from the prac­tice of hu­man sac­ri­fice in some form and at some time, even though the An­don­ites, Nod­ites, and Adamites were the least ad­dicted to can­ni­bal­ism.

82:5.4Su­pe­rior groups, when iso­lated, al­ways re­verted to con­san­guineous mat­ing. The Nod­ites for over one hun­dred and fifty thou­sand years were one of the great in-mar­riage groups. The later-day in-mar­riage mores were tremen­dously in­flu­enced by the tra­di­tions of the vi­o­let race, in which, at first, mat­ings were, per­force, be­tween brother and sis­ter. And brother and sis­ter mar­riages were com­mon in early Egypt, Syria, Mes­o­po­ta­mia, and through­out the lands once oc­cu­pied by the And­ites. The Egyp­tians long prac­ticed brother and sis­ter mar­riages in an ef­fort to keep the royal blood pure, a cus­tom which per­sisted even longer in Per­sia. Among the Mes­o­po­ta­mi­ans, be­fore the days of Abra­ham, cousin mar­riages were oblig­a­tory; cousins had prior mar­riage rights to cousins. Abra­ham him­self mar­ried his half sis­ter, but such unions were not al­lowed un­der the later mores of the Jews.

79:2.5The fail­ure of In­dia to achieve the hege­mony of Eura­sia was largely a mat­ter of to­pog­ra­phy; pop­u­la­tion pres­sure from the north only crowded the ma­jor­ity of the peo­ple south­ward into the de­creas­ing ter­ri­tory of the Dec­can, sur­rounded on all sides by the sea. Had there been ad­ja­cent lands for em­i­gra­tion, then would the in­fe­ri­ors have been crowded out in all di­rec­tions, and the su­pe­rior stocks would have achieved a higher civ­i­liza­tion.

79:2.6As it was, these ear­lier And­ite con­querors made a des­per­ate at­tempt to pre­serve their iden­tity and stem the tide of racial en­gulf­ment by the es­tab­lish­ment of rigid re­stric­tions re­gard­ing in­ter­mar­riage. Nonethe­less, the And­ites had be­come sub­merged by 10,000 B.C., but the whole mass of the peo­ple had been markedly im­proved by this ab­sorp­tion.

79:3.5But for more than seven thou­sand years, down to the end of the And­ite mi­gra­tions, the re­li­gious sta­tus of the in­hab­i­tants of In­dia was far above that of the world at large. Dur­ing these times In­dia bid fair to pro­duce the lead­ing cul­tural, re­li­gious, philo­sophic, and com­mer­cial civ­i­liza­tion of the world. And but for the com­plete sub­mer­gence of the And­ites by the peo­ples of the south, this des­tiny would prob­a­bly have been re­al­ized.

81:4.111. The Cau­ca­soid—the And­ite blend of the Nod­ite and Adamic stocks, fur­ther mod­i­fied by pri­mary and (some) sec­ondary San­gik ad­mix­ture and by con­sid­er­able An­donic cross­ing. The Oc­ci­den­tal white races, to­gether with some In­dian and Tu­ra­nian peo­ples, are in­cluded in this group. The uni­fy­ing fac­tor in this di­vi­sion is the greater or lesser pro­por­tion of And­ite in­her­i­tance.

81:3.4The wide­spread use of met­als was a fea­ture of this era of the early in­dus­trial and trad­ing cities. You have al­ready found a bronze cul­ture in Tur­kes­tan dat­ing be­fore 9000 B.C., and the And­ites early learned to work in iron, gold, and cop­per, as well. But con­di­tions were very dif­fer­ent away from the more ad­vanced cen­ters of civ­i­liza­tion. There were no dis­tinct pe­ri­ods, such as the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages; all three ex­isted at the same time in dif­fer­ent lo­cal­i­ties.
