Changes

The climate and landscape in the Mesopotamia of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the Prince's staff and their assistants, very different from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed. It was [[necessary]] to have such a favoring climate as a part of the natural environment designed to induce primitive Urantians to make certain initial advances in [[culture]] and [[civilization]]. The one great task of those ages was to transform man from a hunter to a herder, with the hope that later on he would evolve into a [[peace]]-loving, [[home]]-abiding farmer.

The headquarters of the Planetary Prince on Urantia was typical of such stations on a young and developing [[sphere]]. The [[nucleus]] of the Prince's settlement was a very simple but [[beautiful]] city, enclosed within a wall forty feet high. This world center of culture was named '''Dalamatia''' in honor of Daligastia.

The city was laid out in ten subdivisions with the headquarters mansions of the ten councils of the corporeal staff situated at the centers of these subdivisions. Centermost in the city was the temple of the unseen Father. The administrative headquarters of the Prince and his associates was arranged in twelve chambers immediately grouped about the temple itself.
