80:7.1 During the decline of [[culture]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] there [[persisted]] for sometime a superior [[civilization]] on the islands of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization eastern Mediterranean].

80:7.2 About [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12,000_BC 12,000 B.C.] a brilliant tribe of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] migrated to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete]. This was the only island settled so early by such a superior group, and it was almost two thousand years before the descendants of these mariners spread to the neighboring isles. This group were the narrow-headed, smaller-statured Andites who had intermarried with the [[Van|Vanite]] division of the northern [[Nodites]]. They were all under six feet in height and had been [[literally]] driven off the mainland by their larger and inferior fellows. These [[emigrants]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete] were highly skilled in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textiles textiles], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy metals], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery pottery], plumbing, and the use of stone for building [[material]]. They engaged in [[writing]] and carried on as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herder herders] and [[agriculturists]].

80:7.3 Almost two thousand years after the settlement of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete] a group of the tall descendants of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamson] made their way over the northern islands to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_greece Greece], coming almost directly from their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurd highland home north of Mesopotamia]. These progenitors of the [[Greeks]] were led westward by Sato, a direct descendant of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamson and Ratta].

80:7.4 The group which finally settled in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece Greece] consisted of three hundred and seventy-five of the selected and superior people comprising the end of the second [[civilization]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamsonites]. These later sons of Adamson carried the then most valuable strains of the emerging [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_80#80:9._THE_THREE_WHITE_RACES white races]. They were of a high [[intellectual]] order and, [[physically]] regarded, the most [[beautiful]] of [[Human|men]] since the days of the [[first Eden]].

80:7.5 Presently [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_greece Greece] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_islands Aegean Islands] region succeeded [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt] as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occidental] center of [[trade]], [[art]], and [[culture]]. But as it was in Egypt, so again practically all of the [[art]] and [[science]] of the Aegean world was derived from Mesopotamia except for the [[culture]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamsonite] forerunners of the [[Greeks]]. All the [[art]] and [[genius]] of these latter people is a direct [[legacy]] of the posterity of Adamson, the first son of [[Adam and Eve]], and his extraordinary second [[wife]], a daughter descended in an unbroken line from the [[pure]] [[Nodite]] staff of Prince [[Caligastia]]. No wonder the [[Greeks]] had [[mythological]] [[traditions]] that they were directly descended from [[gods]] and [[superhuman]] [[beings]].

80:7.6 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_civilization Aegean region] passed through five distinct [[cultural]] [[stages]], each less [[spiritual]] than the preceding, and erelong the last [[glorious]] era of art perished beneath the weight of the rapidly multiplying mediocre descendants of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube Danubian] slaves who had been imported by the later [[generations]] of [[Greeks]].

80:7.7 It was during this age in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete] that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mother_Goddess mother cult] of the descendants of [[Cain]] [[attained]] its greatest [[vogue]]. This [[cult]] [[glorified]] [[Eve]] in the [[worship]] of the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mother great mother]." Images of [[Eve]] were everywhere. Thousands of [[public]] [[shrines]] were erected throughout [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Minor Asia Minor]. And this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mother_Goddess mother cult] persisted on down to the times of [[Christ]], becoming later incorporated in the early [[Christian]] [[religion]] under the [[guise]] of the [[glorification]] and [[worship]] of [[Mary (Jesus' mother)|Mary]] the [[earth]] [[mother]] of [[Jesus]].

80:7.8 By about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6500_B.C. 6500 B.C.] there had occurred a great decline in the [[spiritual]] [[heritage]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE descendants of Adam] were widespreadly [[dispersed]] and had been virtually swallowed up in the older and more numerous [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#PAPER_64:_THE_EVOLUTIONARY_RACES_OF_COLOR human races]. And this [[decadence]] of Andite civilization, together with the disappearance of their [[religious]] [[standards]], left the [[spiritually]] impoverished [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA races of the world] in a deplorable condition.

80:7.9 By [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5000_B.C. 5000 B.C.] the three [[purest]] strains of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE Adam's descendants] were in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer Sumeria], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe northern Europe], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece Greece]. The whole of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] was being slowly deteriorated by the stream of mixed and darker races which filtered in from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabia Arabia]. And the coming of these inferior peoples [[contributed]] further to the scattering abroad of the [[biologic]] and [[cultural]] residue of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites]. From all over the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertile_crescent fertile crescent] the more [[adventurous]] peoples poured westward to the [[Mediterranean|islands]]. These migrants cultivated both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain grain] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetables vegetables], and they brought [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_animals domesticated animals] with them.

80:7.10 About [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5000_B.C. 5000 B.C.] a mighty host of [[progressive]] Mesopotamians moved out of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates valley] and settled upon the island of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus Cyprus]; this [[civilization]] was wiped out about two thousand years subsequently by the [[barbarian]] hordes from the north.

80:7.11 Another great colony settled on the [[Mediterranean]] near the later site of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage Carthage]. And from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa north Africa] large numbers of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:6._THE_LAST_ANDITE_DISPERSIONS Andites] entered [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain Spain] and later mingled in [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland Switzerland] with their brethren who had earlier come to [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy Italy] from the [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_Islands Aegean Islands].

80:7.12 When [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt] followed [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] in [[cultural decline]], many of the more able and advanced [[families]] fled to [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete], thus greatly augmenting this already advanced [[civilization]]. And when the arrival of inferior groups from [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt] later threatened the [[civilization]] of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete], the more cultured [[families]] moved on west to [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece Greece].

80:7.13 The [[Greeks]] were not only great [[teachers]] and [[artists]], they were also the world's greatest [[traders]] and colonizers. Before succumbing to the flood of inferiority which [[eventually]] engulfed their [[art]] and [[commerce]], they succeeded in planting so many outposts of [[culture]] to the west that a great many of the advances in early Greek civilization [[persisted]] in the later peoples of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_civilization southern Europe], and many of the mixed descendants of these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamsonites] became incorporated in the tribes of the adjacent mainlands.
