Somme River

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.

63:5.3These An­donic tribes were the early river dwellers of France; they lived along the river Somme for tens of thou­sands of years. The Somme is the one river un­changed by the glaciers, run­ning down to the sea in those days much as it does to­day. And that ex­plains why so much ev­i­dence of the An­donic de­scen­dants is found along the course of this river val­ley.

80:3.1The an­cient cen­ters of the cul­ture of the blue man were lo­cated along all the rivers of Eu­rope, but only the Somme now flows in the same chan­nel which it fol­lowed dur­ing preglacial times.
