78:2.1 For thousands of years the sons of [[Adam]] labored along the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris-Euphrates_river_system rivers of Mesopotamia], working out their [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation irrigation] and flood-control [[problems]] to the south, perfecting their [[defenses]] to the north, and attempting to [[preserve]] their [[traditions]] of the [[glory]] of the [[Paper 73 - The Garden of Eden|first Eden]].

78:2.2 The [[heroism]] displayed in the [[leadership]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76 second garden] [[constitutes]] one of the [[amazing]] and [[inspiring]] [[epics]] of [[Urantia]]'s [[history]]. These splendid [[souls]] never wholly lost sight of the [[purpose]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 Adamic mission], and therefore did they valiantly fight off the [[influences]] of the [[surrounding]] and inferior [[tribes]] while they willingly sent forth their choicest sons and daughters in a steady [[stream]] as [[emissaries]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 races of earth]. Sometimes this expansion was depleting to the [[home]] [[culture]], but always these superior peoples would [[rehabilitate]] themselves.

78:2.3 The [[civilization]], [[society]], and [[cultural]] [[status]] of the ''Adamites'' were far above the general level of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 evolutionary races] of [[Urantia]]. Only among the old settlements of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamsonites] was there a [[civilization]] in anyway comparable. But the [[civilization]] of the [[second Eden]] was an [[artificial]] [[structure]]— it had not been evolved —and was therefore [[doomed]] to [[deteriorate]] until it reached a [[natural]] [[evolutionary]] level.

78:2.4 [[Adam]] left a great [[intellectual]] and [[spiritual]] [[culture]] behind him, but it was not advanced in [[mechanical]] appliances since every [[civilization]] is [[limited]] by available [[natural]] [[resources]], [[inherent]] [[genius]], and sufficient [[leisure]] to insure [[inventive]] fruition. The [[civilization]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet race] was predicated on the [[presence]] of [[Adam]] and on the [[traditions]] of the [[first Eden]].

78:2.5 But the ''Adamites'' were a real nation around [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19,000_B.C. 19,000 B.C]., numbering four and a half million, and already they had poured forth millions of their [[progeny]] into the [[surrounding]] peoples.
