Time

Zailm is left to ponder whether the prophecy is true or false, with time being the only thing that will reveal the truth.

First hour of the first day in the fifth month (Relative time in the narrative, no specific calendar date given).

11,160 (Time period in the narrative, indicating the year).

1886 (Mentioned in contrast to the ancient time period).

From this hour in the last day of each week until the end of the twenty-fourth hour in the following, or first day in the next week, all business was suspended, and the time devoted to religious worship, such observances being enforced by the most rigid of all laws, custom.

It was even so in the populous colonies of Umaur and Incalia, the difference in time being calculated, and one man in the great temple of Incal in Caiphul attended to this sweetly solemn duty.

Upon meeting him now, the current of my thought was altered, and I determined not to go home at once, but to remain in the city for a time, perhaps all night.

When I neared the spot where my meeting had occurred with the white-turbaned stranger, this time in a car, which I checked from running overfast, I saw his commanding figure standing in full view in the bright light of the tropic moon.

It was quite a part of my expectations thus to see him, and this time I inclined my head in courteous recognition.

Time will satisfy thy curiosity, my reader, as it did mine.

It was in the time of the annual respite from study that I made my advent to the capital city.

In this vacation the, Xioqua and the Incala participated, the majority seeking their homes first, for a season, but generally soon returning to the capital, in order to enjoy the special pleasures of the resting time.

Its authorship was lost in the night of time.

He had in that time created mankind and, as the Poseidi were evolutionists, that word, "mankind," embraced all the lower animals too.

In course of time beings of the genus homo were evolved, one man and one woman, and then Incal had placed woman spiritually highest and above man, a position which she had lost through an attempt to enjoy a fruit which grew on the Tree of Life in the Garden of Heaven.

But I will say that humanity's new conception of the Eternal Cause will be more lofty, more sublime, purer, wider and more of an approach to boundlessness, than anything of which the long gone aeons of time have ever dreamed.

Constructed monumental structures like the Maxt, a giant aluminum tower, the tallest human construction at the time.

The Maxt tower is described as the tallest human construction of its time, with a height of over 900 meters.

Eastern Europe: An area where Poseid founded colonies during a time when there was no Western Europe.

As antedating the reign of Rai Gwauxln, attention is called to a period of time embracing four thousand three hundred and forty years, inclusive of the main events of Poseid history.

As time went on, racial coalition obliterated all distinctions, so that the union resulted in producing earth's greatest nation.

Inconsequential civil wars had several times made a change of political complexion, so that Poseid had seen itself governed by absolute autocrats, by oligarchic and by the theocratic rule, by masculine and by feminine rulers, and at last by a republican monarchial system, of which Rai Gwauxln was the head, when I lived as Zailm, in Atlantis.

Gwauxln was of a long line of honorable ancestors, and his house had several times furnished successful candidates whom the people had placed on the throne, during the seven centuries that the present political system had ruled.

Bits of shore, then steep banks, flower-hidden; the song of the nossuri, and the calls of various other birds and furry-folk of the night-time, intermingled with the soft plash of falling water, the voice of the cascade which fed this lacustrine gem.

As it might be done to-day didst thou but know how, and that day is not far off when thou wilt again uncover the knowledge, so, in that time, we transmuted clay, first raising its atomic speed so that it became white light of a pale illuminating power and then reducing it to the, so to speak, chemical "mile-post" of aluminum, and this at a cost not nearly so great as in this modern day it takes to get iron from its ores.

So is it the period set to all time, for me, save I elect.

These technologies reflect a civilization with an advanced understanding of the universe's fundamental forces, enabling them to develop tools and methods far beyond what is known in modern times.

O, bright to-morrow of time, and fortunate thou who shalt open thine eyes upon it and its marvels.

This cultural diversity extends to a historical understanding of pre-Noachian (pre-Nepthian) civilizations, which still hold relevance in the narrator's time.

There is a saying, whose origin is dim through lapse of time, to the effect that "Knowledge is power." Within well-defined limits this is a verity.

Thus have I named the three greatest nations of pre-Noachian (pre-Nepthian) times.

Imagine, if it please thee, an elevation approximating fifteen feet in height,, ten times that figure in width, and that fifty times its height represents its length.

Enough, that no political harmony exists in this modern time of the world like that which sprang from this paternalism on the part of our elected officials.

It will be well to preface these with a short history of their enactment, and thus show how, in that olden time, labor troubles quite similar, and fully as menacing to peace and order as any modern industrial upheaval, were finally and equitably settled.

"What time those who work for hire shall be oppressed, and shall rise in wrath to destroy their oppressor--lo!

Of the many articles and sections, I shall insert only those that are pertinent to modem times and troubles, so that if these selections are not articled and sectioned in consecution the reason is obvious.

It is in this that the modern Anglo-Saxon world, which is Poseid (and Suern) reincarnating, shows one mark of the slow but sure upward progress begotten of time; proves that although man moves, as does all else, sensate and insensate, in a circle, yet that circle is like a screw-thread, ever progressing around and around, but each time moving on a higher plane.

The old-time strikes and riots out of which these laws were born disappeared and peace took its sway.

So when the modem world of the Christian epoch came to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly the last named, then began the reincarnation of this Poseid era, and for a time the tendency to oppression again came uppermost.

Finally, strange and paradoxical as it may appear, this betterment is the direct child of the old-time rights extorted by might in Poseid, and to-day, reincarnated offspring of reincarnated oppression, as in Atlantis oppression sprang reincarnate from the grave of other ages gone before, previous to the wondrous memorial of Gizeh.
