The Toltec land system, detailed in chapters on Peru, fostered general well-being and the absence of poverty through universal primary education.
This system was believed to be the best for the people during the prime of Toltec civilization.
In the days of the Toltec greatness there seems to have been no real poverty — even the retinue of slaves attached to most houses being well fed and clothed — but there were a number of comparatively poor houses in the lowest belt to the north, as well as outside the outermost canal towards the sea.
The land system of the Toltecs will be described in the chapters on Peru, and the absence of poverty and the general well-being of the population were largely due to the provision therein made for universal primary education.
Government was autocratic, and in the palmy days of Toltec civilisation under the Divine Kings, no system could have been happier for the people ; but as the unchecked powers They wielded passed into the hands of younger souls, abuses crept in and troubles arose ; for here, as everywhere, decay began in the corruption of the highest.
We have chosen two daughter civilisations which grew up in later days, far from the great centre of the fourth Root Eace — one descended from the third sub-race, the Toltec, the other from the fourth subrace, the Turanian — in order to give a more vivid and detailed picture of the level reached by the Atlanteans.
Lord Kingsborough says: "The Toltecs had paintings of a garden, with a single tree standing in the midst; round the root of the tree is entwined a serpent, whose head appearing above the foliage displays the face of a woman.
Simultaneously, a fusion of Tlavatli and Toltec races inhabited the western islands.
The first, was during the Rmoahal era around 3,000,000 years ago, and the second in the Toltec era, around 850,000 years ago.
Later cycles: Blending into subsequent Atlantean sub-races (e.g., Tlavatli, Toltec); influence fades as newer groups rise.
Lord Kingsborough says: "The Toltecs had paintings of a garden, with a single tree standing in the midst; round the root of the tree is entwined a serpent, whose head appearing above the foliage displays the face of a woman.
In one form of the Tower of Babel legend, that of the Toltecs, we are told that the pyramid of Cholula was erected "as a means of escape from a second flood, should another occur."
The temple complex was built by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization of the Olmecs and later expanded by the Maya and Toltecs.
Aztlan or Atlan (Toltecs, Nahuatlacas, Aztecs)
The Toltec root for water is Atl; the Peruvian word for copper is Anti (from which, probably, the Andes derived their name, as there was a province of Anti on their slopes): may it not be that the name of Atlantis is derived from these originals, and signified the copper island, or the copper mountains in the sea?
the Toltec (a term which Theosophists use as a synonym for the Atlantean ancestors of the American Indians)
At this first map period they also--as just stated--peopled the northern coasts, whilst a mixture of Tlavatli and Toltec race inhabited the western islands, which subsequently formed part of the American continent.
