Spain its own citations 1 paragraph

61:3.8The Strait of Gibral­tar closed, and Spain was con­nected with Africa by the old land bridge, but the Med­i­ter­ra­nean flowed into the At­lantic through a nar­row chan­nel which ex­tended across France, the moun­tain peaks and high­lands ap­pear­ing as is­lands above this an­cient sea. Later on, these Eu­ro­pean seas be­gan to with­draw. Still later, the Med­i­ter­ra­nean was con­nected with the In­dian Ocean, while at the close of this pe­riod the Suez re­gion was el­e­vated so that the Med­i­ter­ra­nean be­came, for a time, an in­land salt sea.

Andites entered 1 paragraph

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.

Claudus preached in 1 paragraph

130:8.1The first stop on the way to Italy was at the is­land of Malta. Here Je­sus had a long talk with a down­hearted and dis­cour­aged young man named Claudus. This fel­low had con­tem­plated tak­ing his life, but when he had fin­ished talk­ing with the scribe of Da­mas­cus, he said: “I will face life like a man; I am through play­ing the cow­ard. I will go back to my peo­ple and be­gin all over again.” Shortly he be­came an en­thu­si­as­tic preacher of the Cyn­ics, and still later on he joined hands with Pe­ter in pro­claim­ing Chris­tian­ity in Rome and Naples, and af­ter the death of Pe­ter he went on to Spain preach­ing the gospel. But he never knew that the man who in­spired him in Malta was the Je­sus whom he sub­se­quently pro­claimed the world’s De­liv­erer.

sun worshipers in 3000 B.C. 1 paragraph

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.

80:2.2The purer in­digo el­e­ments moved south­ward to the forests of cen­tral Africa, where they have ever since re­mained. The more mixed groups spread out in three di­rec­tions: The su­pe­rior tribes to the west mi­grated to Spain and thence to ad­ja­cent parts of Eu­rope, form­ing the nu­cleus of the later Med­i­ter­ra­nean long-headed brunet races. The least pro­gres­sive di­vi­sion to the east of the Sa­hara pla­teau mi­grated to Ara­bia and thence through north­ern Mes­o­po­ta­mia and In­dia to far­away Cey­lon. The cen­tral group moved north and east to the Nile val­ley and into Pales­tine.

80:3.7It was not un­com­mon dur­ing the rig­ors of win­ter for their sen­tinels stand­ing on night guard at cave en­trances to freeze to death. They had cour­age, but above all they were artists; the Adamic mix­ture sud­denly ac­cel­er­ated cre­ative imag­i­na­tion. The height of the blue man’s art was about fif­teen thou­sand years ago, be­fore the days when the darker-skinned races came north from Africa through Spain.
