Caspian Sea

80:2.5This en­gulf­ment of the Med­i­ter­ra­nean basin im­me­di­ately cur­tailed the west­ward move­ments of the Adamites, while the great in­flux of Sa­ha­rans led them to seek out­lets for their in­creas­ing num­bers to the north and east of Eden. As the de­scen­dants of Adam jour­neyed north­ward from the val­leys of the Tigris and Eu­phrates, they en­coun­tered moun­tain­ous bar­ri­ers and the then ex­panded Caspian Sea. And for many gen­er­a­tions the Adamites hunted, herded, and tilled the soil around their set­tle­ments scat­tered through­out Tur­kes­tan. Slowly this mag­nif­i­cent peo­ple ex­tended their ter­ri­tory into Eu­rope. But now the Adamites en­ter Eu­rope from the east and find the cul­ture of the blue man thou­sands of years be­hind that of Asia since this re­gion has been al­most en­tirely out of touch with Mes­o­po­ta­mia.

134:2.1It was the first of April, A.D. 24, when Je­sus left Naz­a­reth on the car­a­van trip to the Caspian Sea re­gion. The car­a­van which Je­sus joined as its con­duc­tor was go­ing from Je­ru­sa­lem by way of Da­mas­cus and Lake Ur­mia through As­syria, Me­dia, and Parthia to the south­east­ern Caspian Sea re­gion. It was a full year be­fore he re­turned from this jour­ney.

134:2.2For Je­sus this car­a­van trip was an­other ad­ven­ture of ex­plo­ration and per­sonal min­istry. He had an in­ter­est­ing ex­pe­ri­ence with his car­a­van fam­ily—pas­sen­gers, guards, and camel drivers. Scores of men, women, and chil­dren re­sid­ing along the route fol­lowed by the car­a­van lived richer lives as a re­sult of their con­tact with Je­sus, to them, the ex­traor­di­nary con­duc­tor of a com­mon­place car­a­van. Not all who en­joyed these oc­ca­sions of his per­sonal min­istry prof­ited thereby, but the vast ma­jor­ity of those who met and talked with him were made bet­ter for the re­main­der of their nat­u­ral lives.

134:2.3Of all his world trav­els this Caspian Sea trip car­ried Je­sus near­est to the Ori­ent and en­abled him to gain a bet­ter un­der­stand­ing of the Far-East­ern peo­ples. He made in­ti­mate and per­sonal con­tact with ev­ery one of the sur­viv­ing races of Uran­tia ex­cept­ing the red. He equally en­joyed his per­sonal min­istry to each of these var­ied races and blended peo­ples, and all of them were re­cep­tive to the liv­ing truth which he brought them. The Eu­ro­peans from the Far West and the Asi­at­ics from the Far East alike gave at­ten­tion to his words of hope and eter­nal life and were equally in­flu­enced by the life of lov­ing ser­vice and spir­i­tual min­istry which he so gra­ciously lived among them.

134:2.4The car­a­van trip was suc­cess­ful in ev­ery way. This was a most in­ter­est­ing episode in the hu­man life of Je­sus, for he func­tioned dur­ing this year in an ex­ec­u­tive ca­pac­ity, be­ing re­spon­si­ble for the ma­te­rial in­trusted to his charge and for the safe con­duct of the trav­el­ers mak­ing up the car­a­van party. And he most faith­fully, ef­fi­ciently, and wisely dis­charged his mul­ti­ple du­ties.

134:2.5On the re­turn from the Caspian re­gion, Je­sus gave up the di­rec­tion of the car­a­van at Lake Ur­mia, where he tar­ried for slightly over two weeks. He re­turned as a pas­sen­ger with a later car­a­van to Da­mas­cus, where the own­ers of the camels be­sought him to re­main in their ser­vice. De­clin­ing this of­fer, he jour­neyed on with the car­a­van train to Ca­per­naum, ar­riv­ing the first of April, A.D. 25. No longer did he re­gard Naz­a­reth as his home. Ca­per­naum had be­come the home of Je­sus, James, Mary, and Ruth. But Je­sus never again lived with his fam­ily; when in Ca­per­naum he made his home with the Zebe­dees.

• headquarters of Onagar

63:6.7On­a­gar main­tained head­quar­ters on the north­ern shores of the an­cient Med­i­ter­ra­nean in the re­gion of the pres­ent Caspian Sea at a set­tle­ment called Oban, the tar­ry­ing place on the west­ward turn­ing of the travel trail lead­ing up north­ward from the Mes­o­po­ta­mian south­land. From Oban he sent out teach­ers to the re­mote set­tle­ments to spread his new doc­trines of one De­ity and his con­cept of the here­after, which he called the Great Be­yond. These emis­saries of On­a­gar were the world’s first mis­sion­ar­ies; they were also the first hu­man be­ings to cook meat, the first reg­u­larly to use fire in the prepa­ra­tion of food. They cooked flesh on the ends of sticks and also on hot stones; later on they roasted large pieces in the fire, but their de­scen­dants al­most en­tirely re­verted to the use of raw flesh.

• Adamson’s civilization situated near

77:5.10This cen­ter of civ­i­liza­tion was sit­u­ated in the re­gion east of the south­ern end of the Caspian Sea, near the Kopet Dagh. A short way up in the foothills of Tur­kes­tan are the ves­tiges of what was one­time the Ad­am­son­ite head­quar­ters of the vi­o­let race. In these high­land sites, sit­u­ated in a nar­row and an­cient fer­tile belt ly­ing in the lower foothills of the Kopet range, there suc­ces­sively arose at var­i­ous pe­ri­ods four di­verse cul­tures re­spec­tively fos­tered by four dif­fer­ent groups of Adam­son’s de­scen­dants. It was the sec­ond of these groups which mi­grated west­ward to Greece and the is­lands of the Med­i­ter­ra­nean. The residue of Adam­son’s de­scen­dants mi­grated north and west to en­ter Eu­rope with the blended stock of the last And­ite wave com­ing out of Mes­o­po­ta­mia, and they were also num­bered among the And­ite-Aryan in­vaders of In­dia.

• Andonites, Andites entered Europe via

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.

• Nerites erupted from

78:8.11From 2500 to 2000 B.C. the no­mads were on a ram­page from the At­lantic to the Pa­cific. The Ner­ites con­sti­tuted the fi­nal erup­tion of the Caspian group of the Mes­o­po­ta­mian de­scen­dants of the blended An­don­ite and And­ite races. What the bar­bar­ians failed to do to ef­fect the ru­ina­tion of Mes­o­po­ta­mia, sub­se­quent cli­matic changes suc­ceeded in ac­com­plish­ing.

• drought drove Andites from

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.

• Andonites, Andites entered Europe via

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.
