Turanian

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.

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.
