Traditions of Atlantis
We turn now to another ancient race, the Indo-European family--the Aryan race.
The Question of Complexion
In the same way we find that the ancient Aryan writings divided mankind into four races--the white, red, yellow, and black: the four castes of India were founded upon these distinctions in color; in fact, the word for color in Sanscrit (varna) means caste.
Civilization an Inheritance
23), sees the unity of the Indo-European races manifest in their languages, literature, and philosophies, and argues that these pre-eminent traits are "the great marks of an original model," and that when we meet with them "fifteen, twenty, thirty centuries before our era, in an Aryan, an Egyptian, a Chinese, they represent the work of a great many ages, perhaps of several myriads of centuries.
Such is the first and richest source of these master faculties from which historical events take their rise; and one sees that if it be powerful it is because this is no simple spring, but a kind of lake, a deep reservoir, wherein other springs have, for a multitude of centuries, discharged their several streams." In other words, the capacity of the Egyptian, Aryan, Chaldean, Chinese, Saxon, and Celt to maintain civilization is simply the result of civilized training during "myriads of centuries" in some original home of the race.
The Deluge Legends of America
The Deluge of Genesis is a Phœnician, 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--νάειν, to flow; νᾶμα, water; Nympha, Neptunus, water deities.
Like the Aryans, they moved into a cold country: "It freezes was there; it snows was there; it is cold was there." They move to a milder region to hunt cattle; they divided their forces into tillers and hunters.
The Deluge Legends of Other Nations
The first was connected with the name of Ogyges, the most ancient of the kings of Bœotia or Attica--a quite mythical personage, lost in the night of ages, his very name seemingly derived from one signifying deluge in Aryan idioms, in Sanscrit Angha.
"While the tradition of the Deluge holds so considerable a place in the legendary memories of all branches of the Aryan race, the monuments and original texts of Egypt, with their many cosmogonic speculations, have not afforded one, even distant, allusion to this cataclysm.
The Destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends
And hence, whether we turn to the Hebrews, the Aryans, the Phœnicians, the Greeks, the Cushites, or the inhabitants of America, we find everywhere traditions of the Deluge;
ancestors of three races--Aryan, or Indo-European, Semitic, or Syro-Arabian, Chamitic, or Cushite--that is to say, on the three great civilized races of the ancient world, those which constitute the higher humanity--before the ancestors of those races had as yet separated, and in the part of Asia they together inhabited."
The Story of Atlantis
The general scope of the subject before us will best be realized by considering the amount of information that is obtainable about the various nations who compose our great Fifth or Aryan Race.
But the hundreds of thousands of years which elapsed from the time when the earliest Aryans left their home on the shores of the central Asian Sea to the time of the Greeks and Romans, bore witness to the rise and fall of innumerable civilizations.
Of the 1st sub-race of our Aryan Race who inhabited India and colonial Egypt in prehistoric times we know practically nothing, and the same may be said of the Chaldean, Babylonian, and Assyrian nations who composed the 2nd sub-race—for the fragments of knowledge obtained from the recently deciphered[2] hieroglyphs or cuneiform inscriptions on Egyptian tombs or Babylonian tablets can scarcely be said to constitute history.
First, the indigenous population (probably the remains of a Lemurian race), second, the invaders from the distant island of Atlantis, and third, the Aryan Gauls (see Pre-Adamites, p.
In later days this in its turn received an infusion of Aryan or Fifth Race blood, from which results the complexity of type found in India to-day.
The Burmese and Siamese have also Tlavatli blood in their veins, but in their case it was mixed with, and therefore dominated by, the nobler stock of one of the Aryan sub-races.
The Semite emigrations were of two kinds, first, those which were controlled by the natural impulse of the race: second, that special emigration which was effected under the direct guidance of the Manu; for, strange as it may seem, it was not from the Toltecs but from this lawless and turbulent though vigorous and energetic sub-race that was chosen the nucleus destined to be developed into our great Fifth or Aryan Race.
The tribes resulting from the segregation effected by the Manu for the formation of the new Root Race eventually found their way to the southern shores of the central Asian sea, and there the first great Aryan kingdom was established.
When the Transaction dealing with the origin of a Root Race comes to be written, it will be seen that many of the peoples we are accustomed to call Semitic are really Aryan in blood.
The Hungarians and Malays are both known to be offshoots of this race, ennobled in the one case by a strain of Aryan blood, degraded in the other by mixture with the effete Lemurians.
Arts and Sciences.—It must primarily be recognized that our[42] own Aryan race has naturally achieved far greater results in almost every direction than did the Atlanteans, but even where they failed to reach our level, the records of what they accomplished are of interest as representing the high water mark which their tide of civilization reached.
The history of the Atlantean, as of the Aryan race, was interspersed with periods of progress and of decay.
Manners and Customs.—There was doubtless as much variety in the manners and customs of the Atlanteans at different epochs of their history, as there has been among the various nations which compose our Aryan race.
But a brighter sun now shines on the Aryan race than that which lit the path of their Atlantean forefathers.
The Aryan and Japhetic Colonies
We come now to another question: “Did the Aryan or Japhetic race come from Atlantis?” If the Aryans are the Japhetic race, and if Japheth was one of the sons of the patriarch who escaped from the Deluge, then assuredly, if the tradition of Genesis be true, the Aryans came from the drowned land, to wit, Atlantis. According to Genesis, the descendants of the Japheth who escaped out of the Flood with Noah are the Ionians, the inhabitants of the Morea, the dwellers on the Cilician coast of Asia Minor, the Cyprians, the Dodoneans of Macedonia, the Iberians, and the Thracians. These are all now recognized as Aryans, except the Iberians.
“From non-Biblical sources,” says Winchell, “we obtain further information respecting the early dispersion of the Japhethites or Indo-Europeans—called also Aryans.
Rawlinson informs us that even Aryan roots are mingled with Presemitic in some of the old inscriptions of Assyria.
I have shown in the chapter in relation to Peru that all the languages of the Hamites, Semites, and Japhethites are varieties of one aboriginal speech. The centre of the Aryan migrations (according to popular opinion) within the Historical Period was Armenia.
The passage begins with a question: “Did the Aryan or Japhetic race come from Atlantis?” This sets the stage for the subsequent discussion.
Aryans and Japhetic Race: The passage suggests that if the Aryans are the Japhetic race and if Japheth was a son of Noah who survived the Deluge (biblical flood), then according to the tradition of Genesis, the Aryans would have originated from Atlantis.
Aryan Identification: It claims that all these groups, except the Iberians, are now recognized as Aryans.
Winchell's Commentary: The passage refers to Winchell, who suggests that non-Biblical sources also support the idea that the Japhethites (Indo-Europeans or Aryans) originally lived alongside the Hamites and Semites.
Rawlinson's Insight: It mentions that Rawlinson noted Aryan roots mingling with Presemitic elements in ancient Assyrian inscriptions, implying a shared origin or close interaction.
Aryan Migrations: The passage concludes by mentioning that Armenia is popularly considered the center of Aryan migrations during the Historical Period.
The passage attempts to connect the Aryans with the Japhetic race through a mix of Biblical and non-Biblical sources.
It makes a speculative leap from the identification of Aryans as descendants of Japheth to the notion that they might have come from Atlantis, a legendary location.
Atlantis is a mythical land, and equating it with the origin of the Aryan race based on biblical genealogy is not grounded in factual history.
Aryan Identification: The identification of certain groups as Aryan based on 19th-century racial theories is outdated and problematic, especially when connected to Atlantis.
Conclusion: The passage combines biblical tradition, speculative history, and outdated racial theories to propose a connection between the Aryans and Atlantis, but it lacks a sound basis in historical or linguistic evidence.
Atlantis’ Readings
The one in the Atlantean land, that sank, which will rise and is rising again; another in the place of the records that leadeth from the Sphinx to the hall of records, in the Egyptian land; and another in the Aryan or Yucatan land, where the temple there is overshadowing same.
The Aryan Colonies from Atlantis
If we accept the tradition of Genesis, where Japheth is one of the sons of Noah who survived the Deluge, then the Aryan or Japhetic race likely originated from Atlantis.
Genesis mentions that the descendants of Japheth include the Ionians, Moreans, Cilicians, Cyprians, Dodoneans of Macedonia, Iberians, and Thracians, all of which are recognized as Aryans, except the Iberians.
The Aryans are believed to have migrated from Armenia, where Mount Ararat is located.
This theory is supported by the existence of an ancient Aryan population in Ireland, which migrated from Iberian Spain, suggesting a western origin.
The Mediterranean Aryans, including the Greeks and other ancient European civilizations, appear to have been influenced by the Atlantean culture.
The Kelts, an Aryan race, are believed to have been part of the population of Atlantis.
Max Müller and other scholars have reconstructed the civilization of the ancient Aryans through comparative philology.
The Aryans had a sophisticated society with organized marriage, family structures, governance, agriculture, metallurgy, and religious practices.
The Aryans' advanced civilization and their decimal system suggest a connection to the Atlanteans, who also used a decimal system in their administration.
The Aryans' homeland is hypothesized to be a peaceful, civilized land, free from wild beasts and barbarian threats, characteristics that fit the description of Atlantis.
The religious practices of the Aryans also suggest Atlantean influence.
The legends of kings like Deva-Nahusha and the mythological connections suggest that the Aryan migration was part of a broader dispersion of Atlantean culture.
While Europe is predominantly Aryan, only a small part of Asia is Aryan, indicating that the Aryans in Asia were intrusive races that moved from the west.
The Aryan presence in Europe dates back to the close of the Stone Age, suggesting an ancient settlement.
The Aryans in India are believed to have migrated from the west, further supporting the theory of a western origin, possibly Atlantis.
Atlantis reconstructed
This sophisticated religious thought aligns with early Aryan and Vedic literature, suggesting a shared heritage.
The oldest son of Noah
Max Müller, in his "Lectures on the Science of Religion," identifies three major linguistic and religious centers in ancient history: Turanian, Aryan, and Semitic.
Müller posits that these linguistic groups, particularly the Aryan and Semitic, can be traced back to religious and political influences that centralized and preserved their languages and beliefs.
Müller asserts that there was a period when the ancestors of the Aryan and Semitic peoples shared a common language and religion.
The great god of the Semites, El, is linked to numerous names and traditions across Semitic and Aryan languages, hinting at a shared origin.
Additionally, historical conflicts between Aryans and Turanians indicate a shared but divergent past.
The Chinese civilization, like those of the Aryans and Hamites, appears to have been influenced by an earlier, possibly Atlantean, culture.
The Colonies of Atlantis
Rudolf Falb have suggested linguistic connections between the ancient Quichua language of Peru and Aryan or Indo-European languages.
These studies indicate that the roots and structures of Quichua show significant similarities to ancient languages from both the Aryan and Semitic families.
The Pyramid, the cross and the Garden of Eden
No revolution or other casualty has wrought any perceptible difference in their several forms or delineations; they have passed from one hemisphere to the other intact; have survived dynasties, empires, and races; have been borne on the crest of each successive wave of Aryan population in its course toward the West; and, having been reconsecrated in later times by their lineal descendants, are still recognized as military and national badges of distinction.
Wilson tells us that the Aryans of India believed that they originally came "from the West." Thus the nations on the west of the Atlantic look to the east for their place of origin; while on the east of the Atlantic they look to the west: thus all the lines of tradition converge upon Atlantis.
American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or Atlantis
Civilizations around the Mediterranean, including the Aryans, Egyptians, and Chinese, trace their origins or significant influences to this region, suggesting a shared connection to Atlantis.
The Aryan writings also categorized humanity into white, red, yellow, and black races, with the red Kshatriyas being a significant group.
The Fourth Root Race
The Aryan race is characterized by significant advancements in knowledge, technology, and social structures.
Subba Rao distinguished the Lemurians as blueblack, the Atlanteans as red-yellow, and the Aryans as brown-white.
Beginning of the 5th Root Race
This great Atlantean civilisation perished; then came the flood, and a negroid domination, and another Atlantean Empire, and an Aryan (B.
Turanian, in Ancient Chaldaea.
30,000, a great leader from the East, Theodoros, a man of another race, who after the Aryan conquest of Persia and Mesopotamia, and the establishment of the rule of the Manu over those districts, was sent as Governor by Him, under Corona, His grandson, who succeeded Him as Ruler of Persia.
The far later Babylonian sculptures which we know give us a fair idea of this royal type, though at that date the Aryan blood had permeated almost the entire race, whereas in the time of which we are speaking it had scarcely tinged it at all.
As it grew, however, it became more and more strongly affected by the mixture of Aryan jlood, first from the Arabian (Semitic) and then From the Iranian sub-races, until when we come to jvhat are commonly called historical times there is scarcely a trace of the old Turanian left in the faces that are pictured for us in the sculptures and mosaics of Assyria.
Atlantean Peruvian Civilization
Our Peruvian had the high cheek-bones and the general shape of face which we associate with the highest type of the Red Indian, and yet he had modifications in its contour which made him almost more Aryan than Atlantean; his expression differed fundamentally from that of most modern Red Men, for it was usually frank, joyous, and mild, and in the higher classes keen intellect and great benevolence frequently showed themselves.
The Civilisation of Atlantis
The legacy of Atlantis passed on to the Aryan race, which continues to build on its foundations and may surpass its glory in the future.
Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, North and South America, knew them, and the Empires they raised endured for long, and reached a point of glory that the Aryan Race has not yet overtopped.
Hence Atlantis fell, despite the glory of its achievements and the might of its Empires ; and the leading of the world passed into the hands of a daughter Eace, the Aryan, which, though it has to its credit many magnificent achievements in the past, has not yet reached the zenith of its glory and its power, and will, some centuries hence, rise even higher than Atlantis rose in its palmiest days.
The Destruction of Atlantis
This event, believed to have annihilated an advanced civilization and its vast population, is preserved in the deluge myths of numerous cultures, including the Hebrews, Aryans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Cushites, and even some indigenous American tribes.
The flood tradition is particularly strong among the Aryan (Indo-European), Semitic (Syro-Arabian), and Hamitic (Cushite) races, aligning with the descendants of Noah as per the Bible.
The Ahnenerbe
Its primary goal was to investigate the archaeological and cultural history of the Aryan race.
The founders of culture, in Hitler's view, were a biologically distinct Aryan race who (he believed) had been tall, blond, and originated in Northern Europe.
He believed that in prehistory, the Aryan race had been responsible for all significant developments in human culture, including agriculture, architecture, music, literature, and the visual arts.
He believed that most modern Germans were the descendants of these Aryans and had genetically inherited the Aryans' biological superiority to other races.
Originally, “Aryan” referred to a linguistic and cultural group, not a distinct racial category.
Fifth Root Race: The Aryan Race - The current race, which began with the Indo-European peoples and includes modern humanity.
The Aryan Race is said to have emerged from the survivors of the Atlantean Race.
The Aryan Race is credited with developing modern science, philosophy, art, and culture.
The mission of the Aryan Race is to perfect the mind and intellect, achieving a balance between material and spiritual knowledge.
Aryan Race
The term "Aryan race" historically refers to a concept in the context of racial theory, predominant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which proposed that a group of people of Indo-European descent were superior to other racial groups.
Originally, "Aryan" referred to a linguistic and cultural group, not a distinct racial category.
In the 20th century, the concept of an Aryan race became central to the racial ideology of Nazism.
This misuse of the term "Aryan" was part of their broader racial ideology, which has been thoroughly discredited and condemned.
The term "Aryan" in its original, scholarly context refers to a group of ancient peoples who spoke Indo-European languages.
Indo-European Languages: The term "Aryan" was primarily used to describe people speaking Indo-European languages.
Avestan Culture: In ancient Iran, those referred to as "Aryans" were part of the early Iranian tribes who composed the Avesta, the primary collection of religious texts of Zoroastrianism.
19th-Century Scholarship: European scholars in the 19th century, studying the similarities between Sanskrit, Persian, and European languages, identified the existence of a proto-Indo-European language and postulated a common ancestral culture, often labeled as "Aryan".
Root Races
The fifth root race is the Aryan race, which she described as currently inhabiting the earth.
The term "Aryan" in this context is not related to the racial ideologies later adopted by groups like the Nazis; instead, it refers to a stage in human spiritual and physical evolution.
