The Story of Atlantis
First Turanian.5.
These four, though differing considerably from each other, have been called "yellow," and this colour may appropriately define the complexion of the Turanian and Mongolian, but the Semite and Akkadian were comparatively white.
The Turanian or 4th sub-race had their origin on the eastern side of the continent, south of the mountainous district inhabited by the Tlavatli people.
1. The Turanians were colonists from the earliest days, and great numbers migrated to the lands lying to the east of Atlantis.
7 on the second map) at about latitude 63° North and longitude 140° East, it was directly developed from descendants of the Turanian[26] race, which it gradually supplanted over the greater part of Asia.
It seems to have been some sort of feudal system that the natural bent of the Turanian race tended to develop.
This naturally tended to increase the birth-rate amongst the Turanians, and the ceremony of marriage came to be disregarded.
The Mongolian people were an improvement on their immediate ancestors of the brutal Turanian stock.
More psychic and more religious than the Turanians from whom they sprang, the form of government towards which they gravitated required a suzerain in the background who should be supreme both as a territorial ruler and as a chief high priest.
The Turanian race, as we have seen, was from its very start imbued with the spirit of colonizing, which it carried out on a considerable scale.
The Turanians who in the first map period had colonized the northern parts of the land lying immediately to the east of Atlantis, occupied in the second map period its southern shores (which included the present Morocco and Algeria).
Dominated all through the centuries by their more powerful Toltec neighbours, it was yet reserved for a small branch of the Turanian stock to conquer and replace the last great empire that the Toltecs raised, for the brutal and barely civilized Aztecs were of pure Turanian blood.
The Tlavatli tongue was the basis used by the Turanians, who introduced such modifications that an entirely different language was in time produced; while the[45] Semites and Akkadians, adopting a Toltec ground-work, modified it in their respective ways, and so produced two divergent varieties.
With regard to marriage and the relations of the sexes the experiments made by the Turanians have already been referred to.
It would seem indeed that he has not always even been fit to be entrusted with knowledge as to the mere symbols under which were veiled the light of Deity, for in the days of the Turanian supremacy some of this knowledge was wrongfully divulged.
The Trinities of most sacred significance were never divulged to the people, but the Trinity personifying the cosmic powers of the universe as Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, became publicly known in some irregular manner in the Turanian days.
A further and rather terrible development of the Turanian times must still be referred to.
Though inaugurated and widely practised by the brutal Turanians, this blood-stained ritual seems never to have spread to any extent among the other sub-races, though human sacrifices appear to have been not uncommon among some branches of the Semites.
It was only with the coming of the savage Aztecs that the harmless Mexican ritual was supplemented with the blood of human sacrifices, which drenched the altars of their war-god, Huitzilopochtli, and the tearing out of the hearts of the victims on the summit of the Teocali may be regarded as a direct survival of the elemental-worship of their Turanian ancestors in Atlantis.

Max Müller, in his "Lectures on the Science of Religion," identifies three major linguistic and religious centers in ancient history: Turanian, Aryan, and Semitic.
The Turanian language and religion also share this ancient origin, although the evidence is less clear.
Adonis, for example, is a significant figure in both Greek and Phœnician mythology, while similar connections are found between Egyptian and Turanian mythologies.
The Etruscans, whose bronze artifacts resemble those from Atlantis, are now believed to be part of the Turanian family.
Isaac Taylor's discovery of Etruscan numerals matching the Altaic branch of the Turanian languages supports this connection.
Additionally, historical conflicts between Aryans and Turanians indicate a shared but divergent past.
The Fourth Root Race
Glancing forward, we saw him once incarnated among the Rmoahls, in order to be with Ursa and others, then several lives were passed in the Turanian, the fourth sub-race — a Chinese stage — and a number in the Akkadian, the sixth; he was observed trading among a people who resembled the Phoenicians of later times.
Beginning of the 5th Root Race
Repeated invasions by Turanian tribes led to massacres, but the Race-type was preserved through selective reincarnations and guidance by Manu.
The number of His followers being small, they made a single caravan, and the Manu sent a mes-sage to the Kuler of the Sumiro-Akkad Empire, praying for peaceful passage through his dominions — including the present Turkey in Asia, Persia and the countries beyond; He reached the borders of that Empire without difficulty, and the Emperor proved friendly; his passport carried Him right into Turkestan, and then He had to treat with a Confederation of Turanian feudatory States, including what is now Tibet.
He had passed through Mesopotamia and Babylonia, slanting north, and the mountains He had to cross were not of great height ; the Turanian Confederation gave permission for His passage, partly because His people were not numerous enough to cause apprehension, and partly because He stated that He was carrying out a mission imposed upon Him by the Most High.
Soon after the removal of the aboveoamed children, the Turanians swept down on the community like a devastating flood, for this was the event of which the Manu had forewarned His lieutenants and from which the children were saved; the assailants were bravely beaten back several times, but horde succeeded horde.
After a time, strong walls were built round villages and round towns, as additional defences, for the savage Turanians were constantly hovering on the outskirts of the community, terrify, ing the inhabitants by their wild yells and sudden onslaughts.
When the Race had again grown to the proportions of a small nation, there was another determined onslaught of the Turanians, and finally another massacre, with only, once more, a few children and their nurses saved and brought up in Shamballa.
It is noteworthy that even the bloodthirsty Turanians did not attack the White Island, for they held it in the deepest veneration.

The great bulk of the nation were clearly of Turanian stock, belonging to the fourth sub-race of the Atlantean Root-Race.
These spoilers were in their turn driven out by the Akkads from the northern hill-country — AtlanteanB still, but of the sixth sub-race ; and these, coalescing gradually with the remnants of the old race and with other tribes of Turanian type, made up the Sumiro Akkad nation out of which the later Babylonian Empire developed.
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.
The Civilisation of Atlantis
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.
