This is a setup based from the Chapter "Changing the Bible". Here in this Chapter, I will dive into the different peoples of America, the cover ups, and their connections to the Bible.
Now, when I was learning about the Aryans (real Aryans), I came across this Youtube video based on travelers exploring the mountains of Pakistan, to which there is an Aryan tribe that exist there. Upon revealing the tribes, I was astounded to see that their features are very similar to that of the Yezidi and the People of Central America. Here is what they called "The Aryans of Ladahk":
Now, here is an article based from the website "http://atithidevotourandtravels.blogspot.com/2013/12/aryan-race-in-kargil-indian".
Here states this: "The Batalik area of Kargil adjacent to the Line of Control is famous for the strange tribes known as Drokhpas believed to be the only surviving pure Aryan Race. There are many theories about the origin of these tribal people who are unlike other inhabitants of Ladakh. The area is approachable both from Leh through Khalsi and from Kargil through Batalik. Earlier tourists were allowed only through Khalsi up to Dah and Hannu."
"Now they can visit these places through Kargil also. The beautiful Darchik village in Batalik is nestled on the banks of the mighty Indus and across the Pakistan border. Its inhabitants are the last surviving members of the pure Aryan race in Ladakh. While not as old as the Harrapan and Mohenjadaro villages, Darchik, along with the peer villages of Dah and Hannu, are dated to somewhere between a 1,000 and 1,200 years old."
'People there are called Drokhpas or High Landers and are said to have migrated from Dardistan, somewhere west of Afghanistan. Their occupation involves agriculture and animal husbandry while their main source of income comes from selling apricots and grapes, which grow in plenty here, to the markets in Kargil and Leh. Structurally, their houses are just stone and wood."
"There are five villages of Drogpas in the Kargil district of Dah, Hannu, Garkon, Darchik and Biama, around 260 kilometres from Srinagar. These people have very strange customs and a different lifestyle. They are allergic to cow. They do not eat eggs and chicken. The source of their main supply of meat and milk is goat. They eat goat cheese and store it for years. They worship deities whom they call Lha and Lhu. Their deities come from within the earth as well as from the sky and these also have some connection with fairies."
"These people trace their Aryan ancestors to the Indus Valley and their villages boast of extensive anthropological and ethnographic links. The most important occasion to know their true history is the harvest festival, which they call Banono. During that the Drogpas wear colourful and traditional outfits. The Drogpas have been an attraction for tourists and anthropologists because of their colorful lifestyle, sheepskin clothing and rich jewelry."
"The area grows grapes from which these people make excellent wine. This is an event full of gaiety. On this occasion people from different villages assemble in one place and celebrate for five days. The festival begins with the head of the tribe relating the story of their arrival in Ladakh. The festival is a place to drink, dine, dance and make free love! It is reported that many German families had been visiting the area to share their love with pure Aryan blood!"
"The head of the tribe recites 18 hymns relating to their history according to which they are supposed to have come through Gilgit. On the other side of the border, there is a similar tribe called Kalash. In fact, there are strong theories that these tribes living on the two sides of the border in Ladakh, including the Hunzakuts, are remnants of Alexander’s Army."
"Some research scholars from Macedonia have conducted studies on the Hunza people and claim they are Macedonians who remained behind after Alexander’s Army left the area. Apparently, the people inhabiting these villages are distinctly of non-Mongoloid stock. Some of these people are very much like Europeans. Good looking, with aquiline noses and quite a few of them are blonde!"
Now, this is where the term "Aryans" has been abused to fit the narrative of the Eurocentric concept, when in reality there are many shades of people in Europe, and all don't look the same at all. In the Chapters "New World Order" and "Changing the Bible", I detail how many Germans would have "oriental" features, thus detailing that it had nothing to do with the White European class, but is towards the Children of Israel who came from Central Asia, India, China and Japan (As Examples).
The narrative of "Alexander the Great" going over there and having leaving remnants behind is only a means to share the idea of origin of these people to being blonde haired and blue eyed, but that wouldn't be the case as majority do tend to share the broad nose, fair to ruddy colored, having oriental features and black hair. It maybe true as far as their ancestors to being from the "Caucasian" stock (Like Abraham), but then shows that people would have some European mixtures (and as well African). There has been many invasions to those lands, and as well there were records of Giants with "red hair", and other nations as well.
However, after learning about the real God of fire (AGNI), and how He led the Aryans into the lands of India and China, then it began to connect to these people (as they spread out throughout the world) as the "Israelites" in the Bible. Here in the Article's excerpt states this: "The head of the tribe recites 18 hymns relating to their history according to which they are supposed to have come through Gilgit. On the other side of the border, there is a similar tribe called Kalash. In fact, there are strong theories that these tribes living on the two sides of the border in Ladakh, including the Hunzakuts, are remnants of Alexander’s Army."
The land of "Gilgit" is the land of Gilgal in the Bible, from which Joshua and the Children of Israel had led "War parties" against the inhabitants of the lands. It definitely states that there were people that stayed in the lands of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran etc. while the rest came over the Indus river (Jordan River), and started to battle against the nations in those lands.
Now, when looking upon these Aryans and observing their features, they do have the looks of the American Indians of the Americas. If you see the picture of their attire, you would think that these people are an American Indian tribe. Like I stated in the Chapters "The Real Aryans series", as it details the Children of Israel in the Americas (as the Book of Mormon states) have "red dot" on their forehead. Then there are the Navajos who would have the story of the Black God of Fire story, in which is described in the same way as the Hindu God "Rudra" or "Shiva". Should it be more evident of their connections to the Gods of Hinduism and their connection to the Bible?
Above you can see this particular hairstyle is quite similar to the "hair lock" of the Yezidis. Then of course, the Roma people who are people that came from India (as well the Yezidis. See "The Real Aryans series")
By the way, the two last pictures show an Aryan old woman from Ladahk, and the two girls are Mexicans. Now, of course when learning about the Children of Israel, I would think that all cannot be the same people, as one is more "ruddy" in complexion compared to the more fair-skinned Israelites. But is really based on who they are mixed with, and the features to being different than the others (Again, Jacob was said to have Children from four different women).
Some tribes are more straight featured than the other tribes and clans, and yet, detail the same standards as the Bible and other Books had stated. Let's see what the Bible states of "David's" description:
1 Samuel 16:12 “And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.”
1 Samuel 17:42 “And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.”
Song of Solomon 5:10 “My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.”
Lamentations 4:7 “Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:”
States either fair or "ruddy" in complexion. Now, there are some Chinese tribes, Nepalese, Tibetans etc. that does fit the ruddy type of skin color, but also some tribes in America as well.
Now, there are cases that details the Native Americans claiming to have been here already (as opposed to the immigration theory), and it has been a touchy subject for many. I definitely know that there were different peoples that came to America (as there were Black, people with red hair, and others), but also there are those that (verifiably) have the customs just as the Japanese, Tibetans, Chinese and Indians.
There has been speculation (and several test) to try to determine where the Native Americans came from etc. However, I can't say that the people are actually called "Native Americans", as this applies to those who are born in America (as everyone). There are the lighter-yellow complexioned, those that are taller compared to the short stocky types, then there are the Black Indians, and Red haired Indians as I find.
But here is the Wiki's info based on "Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas": "The genetic history of Indigenous peoples of the Americas (also named Amerindians or Amerinds in physical anthropology) is divided into two sharply distinct episodes: the initial peopling of the Americas during about 20,000 to 14,000 years ago (20–14 kya), and European contact, after about 500 years ago. The former is the determinant factor for the number of genetic lineages, zygosity mutations and founding haplotypes present in today's Indigenous Amerindian populations."
"Most amerindian groups are derived from two ancestral lineages, which formed in Siberia prior to the Last Glacial Maximum, between about 36,000 and 25,000 years ago, East Eurasian and Ancient North Eurasian. They later dispersed throughout the Americas after about 16,000 years ago (an exception are the Na Dene and Eskimo–Aleut speaking groups, which are partially derived from Siberian populations which entered the Americas at a later time). In the early 2000s, archaeogenetics was primarily based on human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and human mitochondrial DNA haplogroups."
"Autosomal "atDNA" markers are also used, but differ from mtDNA or Y-DNA in that they overlap significantly. Analyses of genetics among Amerindian and Siberian populations have been used to argue for early isolation of founding populations on Beringia and for later, more rapid migration from Siberia through Beringia into the New World. The microsatellite diversity and distributions of the Y lineage specific to South America indicates that certain Amerindian populations have been isolated since the initial peopling of the region."
"The Na-Dené, Inuit and Indigenous Alaskan populations exhibit Haplogroup Q-M242; however, they are distinct from other indigenous Amerindians with various mtDNA and atDNA mutations. This suggests that the peoples who first settled in the northern extremes of North America and Greenland derived from later migrant populations than those who penetrated farther south in the Americas. Linguists and biologists have reached a similar conclusion based on analysis of Amerindian language groups and ABO blood group system distributions."
Now, I had came across a Documentary called "Journey Of Man", and in this excerpt details how a man from "Kazakhstan" Dna connects to some of the American Indian Tribes in America. This man's name is "Niyazov" of Kazakhstan, and based from this Documentary, details that the Caucasian, the American Indian, South Asian and East Asian have the similar DNA connections.
Interesting enough, when I came to live in Cyprus (and visiting Turkey), I was always told by some Turkish residents that the American Indians and the Turkic peoples are connected. The term "Turkic" pertains to the Turkish people, but it is important to know where they came from "prior" to the conquest of then Constantinople to Instanbul. Even upon looking at some of the distinct features, there are those that have been mixed with the European stock, and those that have more of the "Eurasian" and Asian look. Personally. I think this depicts the people of Abraham, and his seed as it spread throughout that part of the world.
When looking upon the dancing styles among the Central Asians, I find they would dance similar to the people in India (which varies of course). Now, there verses in the Bible that would mention the food called "Corn". Here are the verses:
Genesis 27:28 “Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:”

So, why is it that this particular food is heavily mentioned in the Bible? What is it about this particular food called "Corn", that makes it very distinct? Here is what the Britannica website states this about "Corn":
"Corn, (Zea mays), also called Indian corn or maize, cereal plant of the grass family (Poaceae) and its edible grain. The domesticated crop originated in the Americas and is one of the most widely distributed of the world’s food crops. Corn is used as livestock feed, as human food, as biofuel, and as raw material in industry. In the United States the colourful variegated strains known as Indian corn are traditionally used in autumn harvest decorations."
"Corn was first domesticated by native peoples in Mexico about 10,000 years ago. Native Americans taught European colonists to grow the indigenous grains, and, since its introduction into Europe by Christopher Columbus and other explorers, corn has spread to all areas of the world suitable to its cultivation. It is grown from 58° N latitude in Canada and Russia to 40° S latitude in South America, with a corn crop maturing somewhere in the world nearly every month of the year. It is the most important crop in the United States and is a staple food in many places."
"The corn plant is a tall annual grass with a stout, erect, solid stem. The large narrow leaves have wavy margins and are spaced alternately on opposite sides of the stem. Staminate (male) flowers are borne on the tassel terminating the main axis of the stem. The pistillate (female) inflorescences, which mature to become the edible ears, are spikes with a thickened axis, bearing paired spikelets in longitudinal rows; each row of paired spikelets normally produces two rows of grain."
"Varieties of yellow and white corn are the most popular as food, though there are varieties with red, blue, pink, and black kernels, often banded, spotted, or striped. Each ear is enclosed by modified leaves called shucks or husks. Many industrial varieties of corn are genetically modified for resistance to the herbicide glyphosate or to produce proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to kill specific insect pests. In addition, some strains have been genetically engineered for greater drought tolerance."
"Commercial classifications, based mainly on kernel texture, include dent corn, flint corn, flour corn, sweet corn, and popcorn. Dent corn is characterized by a depression in the crown of the kernel caused by unequal drying of the hard and soft starch making up the kernel. Flint corn, containing little soft starch, has no depression. Flour corn, composed largely of soft starch, has soft, mealy, easily ground kernels. Sweet corn has wrinkled translucent seeds; the plant sugar is not converted to starch as in other types."
"Popcorn, an extreme type of flint corn characterized by small hard kernels, is devoid of soft starch, and heating causes the moisture in the cells to expand, making the kernels explode. Improvements in corn have resulted from hybridization, based on crossbreeding of superior inbred strains."
"Although it is a major food in many parts of the world, corn is inferior to other cereals in nutritional value. Its protein is of poor quality, and it is deficient in niacin. Diets in which it predominates often result in pellagra (niacin-deficiency disease)."
"Its gluten (elastic protein) is of comparatively poor quality, and it is not used to produce leavened bread. It is widely used, however, in Latin American cuisine to make masa, a kind of dough used in such staple foods as tortillas and tamales. Given that corn flour is gluten-free, it cannot be used alone to make rising breads. In the United States corn is boiled or roasted on the cob, creamed, converted into hominy (hulled kernels) or meal, and cooked in corn puddings, mush, polenta, griddle cakes, cornbread, and scrapple. It is also used for popcorn, confections, and various manufactured cereal preparations."
"Corn is also used to produce ethanol (ethyl alcohol), a first-generation liquid biofuel. In the United States corn ethanol is typically blended with gasoline to produce “gasohol,” an automotive fuel that is 10 percent ethanol. Although corn-based biofuels were initially touted as environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum, their production diverts arable land and feedstock from the human food chain, sparking a “food versus fuel” debate. Cellulosic ethanol, which is made from nonedible plant parts such as agricultural waste, has a smaller impact on the food chain than corn ethanol, though the conversion technology is generally less efficient than that of first-generation biofuels. Many parts of the corn plant are used in industry."
"Cornstarch can be broken down into corn syrup, a common sweetener that is generally less expensive than sucrose; high-fructose corn syrup is used extensively in processed foods such as soft drinks and candies. Stalks are made into paper and wallboard; husks are used as filling material; cobs are used directly for fuel, to make charcoal, and in the preparation of industrial solvents."
"Corn grain is processed by wet milling, in which the grain is soaked in a dilute solution of sulfurous acid; by dry milling, in which the corn is exposed to a water spray or steam; and by fermentation, in which starches are changed to sugars and yeast is employed to convert the sugars into alcohol. Corn husks also have a long history of use in the folk arts for objects such as woven amulets and corn-husk dolls."
In the Websites called "manyeats.com/history-of-corn" states this: "....The Early Origin of Corn Wild Varieties and Origins in Mexico The current frontrunner theory for the evolution of corn is it evolved from its precursor, teosinte. Scientists believe that it evolved from extinct precursor corn that contained glumes that covered the kernels. Today, you can find wild teosintes in the Southwestern Mexican state of Guerrero. Evidence suggests maize was domesticated only once, roughly 6,000 - 10,000 years ago in Mexico."
"Best guesses point to the Iguala Valley in the northernmost part of Guerrero. Native Americans and the Spread of Corn It is presumed that the early Native Americans painstakingly bred the grain from wild grasses and cross-bred plants to make hybrids."
"The crop eventually spread north to southwestern America and south to the coast of Peru. When Native Americans and Indians began migrating north to North America, they brought corn with them as their staple food source, possibly hugging the Mississippi River as it migrated north. By 4,000 BCE, there is evidence of corn in what is now the Southwest United States."
In the Etymology states this: "corn (n.1) "grain," Old English corn "single seed of a cereal plant; seeds of cereal plants generally; plants which produce corn when growing in the field," from Proto-Germanic *kurnam "small seed" (source also of Old Frisian and Old Saxon korn "grain," Middle Dutch coren, German Korn, Old Norse korn, Gothic kaurn), from PIE root *gre-no- "grain."
"The sense of the Old English word was "grain with the seed still in" (as in barleycorn) rather than a particular plant. Locally understood to denote the leading crop of a district. It has been restricted to the indigenous "maize" in America (c. 1600, originally Indian corn, but the adjective was dropped), usually "wheat" in England, "oats" in Scotland and Ireland, while Korn means "rye" in parts of Germany. Maize was introduced to China by 1550, it thrived where rice did not grow well and was a significant factor in the 18th century population boom there. Corn-starch is from 1850. Corn-silk is attested from 1852."
Here in the Wiki states this: "Maize (/meɪz/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahiz), also known as corn (American English), is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits. Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. In addition to being consumed directly by humans (often in the form of masa), maize is also used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn."
"Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks. Maize is also used in making ethanol and other biofuels. Maize is widely cultivated throughout the world, and a greater weight of maize is produced each year than any other grain. In 2014, total world production was 1.04 billion tonnes."
"Maize is the most widely grown grain crop throughout the Americas, with 361 million metric tons grown in the United States alone in 2014. Genetically modified maize made up 85% of the maize planted in the United States in 2009. Subsidies in the United States help to account for the high level of cultivation of maize in the United States and the fact that the U.S. is the world's largest maize producer."
"....Most historians believe maize was domesticated in the Tehuacán Valley of Mexico. Recent research in the early 21st century has modified this view somewhat; scholars now indicate the adjacent Balsas River Valley of south-central Mexico as the center of domestication. An influential 2002 study by Matsuoka et al. has demonstrated that, rather than the multiple independent domestications model, all maize arose from a single domestication in southern Mexico about 9,000 years ago."
"The study also demonstrated that the oldest surviving maize types are those of the Mexican highlands. Later, maize spread from this region over the Americas along two major paths. This is consistent with a model based on the archaeological record suggesting that maize diversified in the highlands of Mexico before spreading to the lowlands. Archaeologist Dolores Piperno has said: A large corpus of data indicates that it [maize] was dispersed into lower Central America by 7600 BP [5600 BC] and had moved into the inter-Andean valleys of Colombia between 7000 and 6000 BP [5000–4000 BC]. — Dolores Piperno, The Origins of Plant Cultivation and Domestication in the New World Tropics: Patterns, Process, and New Developments Since then, even earlier dates have been published."
"According to a genetic study by Embrapa, corn cultivation was introduced in South America from Mexico, in two great waves: the first, more than 6000 years ago, spread through the Andes. Evidence of cultivation in Peru has been found dating to about 6700 years ago. The second wave, about 2000 years ago, through the lowlands of South America."
"The earliest maize plants grew only small, 25-millimetre-long (1 in) corn cobs, and only one per plant. In Jackson Spielvogel's view, many centuries of artificial selection (rather than the current view that maize was exploited by interplanting with teosinte) by the indigenous people of the Americas resulted in the development of maize plants capable of growing several cobs per plant, which were usually several centimetres/inches long each."
"The Olmec and Maya cultivated maize in numerous varieties throughout Mesoamerica; they cooked, ground and processed it through nixtamalization. It was believed that beginning about 2500 BC, the crop spread through much of the Americas. Research of the 21st century has established even earlier dates. The region developed a trade network based on surplus and varieties of maize crops. Mapuches of south-central Chile cultivated maize along with quinoa and potatoes in pre-Hispanic times; however, potato was the staple food of most Mapuches, "specially in the southern and coastal [Mapuche] territories where maize did not reach maturity".
"Before the expansion of the Inca Empire maize was traded and transported as far south as 40°19' S in Melinquina, Lácar Department. In that location maize remains were found inside pottery dated to 730 ±80 BP and 920 ±60 BP. Probably this maize was brought across the Andes from Chile. The presence of maize in Guaitecas Archipelago (43°55' S), the southernmost outpost of pre-Hispanic agriculture, is reported by early Spanish explorers. However the Spanish may have misidentified the plant."
They are saying that "Corn" comes from Mexico? And yet, Corn is shown to be one of the foods of the Bible (as the foods of the Children of Israel?) If Corn originated in Mexico, and was spread out through the dispersion of the Europeans, then why is Corn mentioned in Egypt? And this was supposed to be after the time of the Deluge? It either means that a specific food was changed into the word "corn" (when it meant something else), or (of course) the timelines of the Bible is mixed up....
Now, this is where we start connecting the dots....Based from Ignatius Donnelly's book "Atlantis the Antideluvian world", details further the connections of the flood story, the Children of Israel's expansion to the West, and how the practices of the gods were already here in America. Based from Chapter V. "THE DELUGE LEGENDS OF AMERICA." pg 98 states this:
"It is a very remarkable fact," says Alfred Manry, " that we find in America traditions of the Deluge comino- infinitely nearer to that of the Bible and the Chaldean religion than among any people of the Old World. It is difficult to sup- pose that the emigration that certainly took place from Asia into North America by the Kourile and Aleutian Islands, and still does so in our day, should have brought in these mem- ories, since no trace is found of them among those Mongol or Siberian populations which were fused with the natives of the New World. . . . The attempts that have been made to trace the origin of Mexican civilization to Asia have not as yet led to any sufficiently conclusive facts. Besides, had Buddhism, which we doubt, made its way into America, it could not have introduced a myth not found in its own scriptures."
"The cause of these similarities between the diluvian traditions of the na- tions of the New World and that of the Bible remains there- fore unexplained." The cause of these similarities can be easily explained : the legends of the Flood did not pass into America by way of the Aleutian Islands, or through the Buddhists of Asia, but were derived from an actual knowledge of Atlantis possessed by the people of America. Atlantis and the western continent had from an immemo- rial age held intercourse with each other; the great nations of America were simply colonies from Atlantis, sharing in its civilization, language, religion, and blood."
"From Mexico to the peninsula of Yucatan, from the shores of Brazil to the heights of Bolivia and Peru, from the Gulf of Mexico to the head-waters of the Mississippi River, the colonies of Atlantis extended ; and therefore it is not strano-e to find, as Alfred Maury says, American traditions of the Deluge coming nearer to that of the Bible and the Chaldean record than those of any people of the Old World."
"The most important among the American traditions are the Mexican, for they appear to have been definitively fixed by symbolic and mnemonic paintings before any contact with Europeans. According to these documents, the Noah of the Mexican cataclysm was Coxcox, called by certain peoples Teo- cipactli or Tezpi. He had saved himself, together with his wife Xochiquetzal, in a bark, or, according to other traditions, on a raft made of cypress-wood (Cupressus disticha). Paint- ino's retracino; the dehisce of Goxcox have been discovered among the x\ztecs, Miztecs, Zapotecs, Tlascaltecs, and Mechoa- .caneses. The tradition of the latter is still more strikingly in conformity with the story as we have it in Genesis, and in Chal- dean sources."
"It tells how Tezpi embarked in a spacious ves- sel with his wife, his children, and several animals, and grain, whose preservation was essential to the subsistence of the human race. When the great god Tezcatlipoca decreed that the waters should retire, Tezpi sent a vulture from the bark. The bird, feeding on the carcasses with which the earth was laden, did not return. Tezpi sent out other birds, of which the humming-bird only came back with a leafy branch in its beak. Then Tezpi, seeing that the country began to vegetate, left his bark on the mountain of Colhuacan."
"The document, however, that gives the most valuable in- formation," says Lenormant, "as to the cosmogony of the Mexicans is one known as ' Codex Vaticanus,' from the libra- ry where it is preserved. It consists of four symbolic pictures, representing the four ages of the world preceding the actual one."
"They were copied at Chobula from a manuscript ante- rior to the conquest, and accompanied by the explanatory com- mentary of Pedro de los Rios, a Dominican monk, who, in 1566, less than fifty years after the arrival of Cortez, devoted himself to the research of indigenous traditions as being neces- sary to his missionary work." "There were, according to this document, four ages of the world. The first was an age of giants (the great mammalia ?) who were destroyed by famine ; the second age ended in a conflagration ; the third age was an age of monkeys." (Ignatius didn't realize that it meant the destruction of the Giants that were mentioned in the "Book of Enoch".)
"Then comes the fourth age, Atonatiuh, 'Sun of Water,' whose number is 10x4004-8, or 4008. It ends by a great inundation, a veritable deluge. All mankind are changed into fish, with the exception of one man and his wife, who sjwe themselves in a bark made of the trunk of a cypress-tree. The picture represents Matlalcueye, goddess of waters, and consort of Tlaloc, god of rain, as darting down toward earth."
"Coxcox and Xochiquetzal, the two human beings preserved, are seen seated on a tree-trunk and floating in the midst of the waters. This flood is represented as the last cataclysm that devastates the earth." The learned Abbe Brasseur de Bourbourg translates from the Aztec language of the "Codex Chimalpopoca" the follow- ing Flood legend : " This is the sun called Nahui-atl, ' 4 water.' Now the wa- ter was tranquil for forty years, plus twelve, and men lived for the third and fourth times. When the sun Nahui-atl came there had passed away four hundred years, plus two ages, plus seventy-six years. Then all mankind was lost and drowned, and found themselves changed into fish. The sky came near- er the water. In a single day all was lost, and the day Nahai- xockitl, '4 flower,' destroyed all our flesh. " And that year was that of ce-calli, ' 1 house,' and the day Nahui-atl all was lost. Even the mountains sunk into the water, and the water remained tranquil for fifty-two springs. "
"Now at the end of the year the god Titlacahuan had warn- ed Nata and his spouse Nena, saying, ' Make no more wine of Agave, but begin to hollow out a great cypress, and you will enter into it when in the month Tozontli the water approaches the sky.' "Then they entered in, and when the god had closed the door, he said, ' Thou shalt eat but one ear of maize, and thy wife one also.' "But as soon as they had finished they went out, and the water remained calm, for the wood no longer moved, and, on opening it^ they began to see fish "Then they lit a fire, by rubbing together pieces of wood, and they roasted fish.
"The gods Citlallinicue and Citlalatonac, instantly looking' down said: 'Divine Lord, what is that fire that is making there? Why do they thus smoke the sky f At once Titla- cahuan-Tezcatlipoca descended. He began to chide, saying, ' Who has made this fire here V And, seizing hold of the fish, he shaped their loins and heads, and they were transformed into dogs {chichime)y Here we note a remarkable approximation to Plato's account of the destruction of Atlantis.
"In one day and one fatal night," says Plato, " there came mighty earthquakes and inun- dations that ingulfed that warlike people." " In a single day all was lost," say^ the Aztec legend. And, instead of a rain- fall of forty days and forty nights, as represented in the Bible, here we see " in a single day . . . even the mountains sunk into the water ;^^ not only the land on which the people dwelt who were turned into fish, but the very mountains of that land sunk into the water."
"Does not this describe the fate of Atlantis ? In the Chaldean legend "the great goddess Ishtar wailed like a child," saying, " I am the mother who gave birth to men, and, like to the race of fishes, they are filling the sea." In the account in Genesis, Noah " builded an altar unto the Lord, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smell- ed a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake.' " In the Chaldean legend we are told that Khasisatra also offered a sacrifice, a burnt offering, " and the gods assembled like flies above the master of the sacrifice."
"But Bel came in a high state of indignation, just as the Aztec god did, and was about to finish the work of the Deluge, when the great god Ea took pity in his heart and interfered to save the remnant of mankind. These resemblances cannot be accidental; neither can they be the interpolations of Christian missionaries, for it will be observed the Aztec legends differ from the Bible in points where they resemble on the one hand Plato's record, and on the other the Chaldean legend. The name of the hero of the Aztec story, Nata^ pronounced with the broad sound of the a, is not far from the name of Noah or Noe."
"The Deluge of Genesis is a Phoenician, Semitic, or Hebraic legend, and yet, strange to say, the name of Noah, which occurs in it, bears no appropriate meaning in those tongues, but is derived from Aryan sources ; its fundamental root is Na., to which in all the Aryan language is attached the meaning of water — mttv, to flow; m/za, water; Nympha, Neptunus, water deities. (Lenormant and Chevallier, "Anc. Hist, of the East," vol. i., p. 15.) We find the root Na re- peated in the name of this Central American Noah, Na-ta, and probably in the word "iVa-hui-atl " — the age of water. But still more striking analogies exist between the Chaldean legend and the story of the Deluge as told in the "Popul Vuh " (the Sacred Book) of the Central Americans:
"Then the waters were agitated by the will of the Heart of Heaven (Hurakan), and a great inundation came upon the heads of these creatures. . . . They Avere ingulfed, and a resinous thick- ness descended from heaven ; . . . the face of the earth was ob- scured, and a heavy darkening rain commenced — rain by day and rain by night. . . . There was heard a great noise above their heads, as if produced by fire."
"Then were men seen run- ning, pushing each other, filled with despair; they wished to climb upon their houses, and the houses, tumbling down, fell to the ground ; they wished to climb upon the trees, and the trees shook them off; they wished to enter into the grottoes (caves), and the grottoes closed themselves before them. . . . Water and fire contributed to the universal ruin at the time of the last great cataclysm which preceded the fourth creation."

Water and fire contributed to the universal ruin at the time of the last great cataclysm which preceded the fourth creation."
"Observe the similarities here to the Chaldean legend. There is the same graphic description of a terrible event. "The " black cloud " is referred to in both instances ; also the dread- ful noises, the rising water, the earthquake rocking the trees, overthrowing the houses, and crushing even the mountain caverns ; " the men runnino- and pushing each other, filled with despair," says the " Popul Vuh ;"
"the brother no longer saw his brother," says the Assyrian legend. And here I may note that this word hurakan — the spirit of •the abyss, the god of storm, the hurricane — is very suggestive, and testifies to an early intercourse between the opposite shores of the Atlantic."
"We find in Spanish the word huracan ; in Portuguese, /z^racaw; in YvQUch, oaragan ; in German, Danish, and Swedish, orcan — all of them signifying a storm ; while in Latin /z^ro, oi'furio^ means to rage. And are. not the old Swed- ish hurra, to be driven along; our own word hurried ; the Ice- landic word hurra, to be rattled over frozen ground, all derived from the same root from which the god of the abyss, Hura- kan, obtained his name? The last thing a people forgets is the name of their god ; we retain to this day, in the names of the days of the week, the designations of four Scandinavian gods and one Roman deity....."
"CIVILIZATIONS OF THE OLD WORLD AND THE NEW." pg 143: "Religion. — The religion of the Atlanteans, as Plato tells us, was pure and simple; they made no regular sacrifices but fruits and flowers; they worshipped the sun. In Peru a single deity was worshipped, and the sun, his most glorious work, was honored as his representative. Quetzalco- atl, the founder of the Aztecs, condenmed all sacrifice but that of fruits and flowers. The first religion of Egypt was pure and simple; its sacrifices were fruits and flowers; temples were erected to the sun, Ra, throughout Egypt. In Peru the great festival of the sun was called Ra-va\."
"The Phoenicians wor- shipped Baal and Moloch ; the one represented the beneficent, and the other the injurious powers of the sun. Religious Beliefs. — The Guanchcs of the Canary Islands, who were probably a fragment of the old Atlantean population, believed in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of tlie body, and preserved their dead as mnmiiiies."
"The Eg-yp- tians believed in the immortality of the sonl and the resurrec- tion of the body, and preserved the bodies of the dead by em- balming them. The Peruvians believed in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body, and they too pre- served the bodies of their dead by embalming them. "A few mummies in remarkable preservation have been found among the Chinooks and Flatheads." (Schoolcraft, vol. v., p. 693.) The embalmment of the body was also practised in Central x\merica and among the Aztecs."
"The Aztecs, like the Egyp- tians, mummified their dead by taking out the bowels and re- placing them with aromatic substances. (Dorman, "Origin Prim. Superst.," p. 173.) The bodies of the kings of the Vir- ginia Indians were preserved by embalming. (Beverly, p. 47.) Here are different races, separated by immense distances of land and ocean, uniting in the same beliefs, and in the same practical and logical application of those beliefs."
"The use of confession and penance was known in the re- ligious ceremonies of some of the American nations. Baptism was a religious ceremony with them, and the bodies of the dead were sprinkled with water. Vestal virgins were found in organized communities on both sides of the Atlantic ; they were in each case pledged to celi- bacy, and devoted to death if they violated their vows. In both hemispheres the recreant were destroyed by being buried alive."
"The Peruvians, Mexicans, Central Americans, Egyp- tians, Phoenicians, and Hebrews each had a powerful heredi- tary priesthood. The Phoenicians believed in an evil spirit called Zebub ; the Peruvians had a devil called Cupay. The Peruvians burnt in- cense in their temples. The Peruvians, when they sacrificed animals, examined their entrails, and from these prognosticated the future."
"Among the early Greeks Pan was the ancient god ; his wife was Maia. The Abbe Brasseur de Bourbourg calls attention to the fact that Pan was adored in all parts of Mexico and Central America ; and at Panuco, or Panca, literally Panopolis, the Spaniards found, upon their entrance into Mexico, superb tem- ples and images of Pan. (Brasseur's Introduction in Landa's " Relacion.") The names of both Pan and Maya enter exten- sively into the Maya vocabulary, Maia being the same as Maya, the principal name of the peninsula ; and paii, added to Mat/a, makes the name of the ancient capital Mayapan. In the Nahua language pan, or pani, signifies "equality to that which is above," and Pentecatl was the progenitor of all beings. ("North Americans of Antiquitv," p. 467.)"
So, of course, the people in America would have the God "Pan", in which becomes the Egyptian God Bes, Min, Hermes, and other related Phallic gods. This Chapter will continue in "Aryans of America 2".
