80:6.1 From the times of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:6._THE_LAST_ANDITE_DISPERSIONS terminal Andite migrations], [[culture]] declined in the [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates valley], and the [[immediate]] [[center]] of [[civilization]] shifted to the valley of the [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile Nile]. [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt] became the successor of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] as the [[headquarters]] of the most advanced group on [[earth]].

80:6.2 The [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile Nile valley] began to [[suffer]] from floods shortly before the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris-Euphrates_river_system Mesopotamian] valleys but fared much better. This early setback was more than [[compensated]] by the continuing [[stream]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:6._THE_LAST_ANDITE_DISPERSIONS Andite immigrants], so that the [[culture]] of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt], though really derived from the [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates] region, seemed to forge ahead. But in [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5000_B.C. 5000 B.C.], during the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_flood_myth flood period in Mesopotamia], there were [[seven]] distinct groups of [[human beings]] in Egypt; all of them, save one, came from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia].

80:6.3 When the last [[exodus]] from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates valley] occurred, Egypt was fortunate in gaining so many of the most [[skillful]] [[artists]] and [[artisans]]. These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:6._THE_LAST_ANDITE_DISPERSIONS Andite artisans] found themselves quite at [[home]] in that they were thoroughly familiar with [[river]] life, its floods, irrigations, and dry seasons. They [[enjoyed]] the [[sheltered]] position of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile Nile valley]; they were there much less subject to hostile raids and [[attacks]] than along the Euphrates. And they added greatly to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Age#Metallurgy metalworking] skill of the Egyptians. Here they worked iron ores coming from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Sinai Mount Sinai] instead of from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea Black Sea] regions.

80:6.4 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egyptians] very early assembled their municipal [[deities]] into an elaborate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_mythology national system of gods]. They [[developed]] an extensive [[theology]] and had an equally extensive but burdensome [[priesthood]]. Several [[different]] [[leaders]] sought to revive the remnants of the early [[religious]] [[teachings]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:3._LIFE_IN_MESOPOTAMIA Sethites], but these endeavors were short-lived. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] built the first stone [[structures]] in Egypt. The first and most exquisite of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_architecture stone pyramids] was erected by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imhotep Imhotep], an Andite [[architectural]] [[genius]], while serving as prime minister. Previous buildings had been constructed of brick, and while many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_stone stone structures] had been erected in [[different]] parts of the world, this was the first in Egypt. But the art of building steadily declined from the days of this great [[architect]].

80:6.5 This [[brilliant]] [[epoch]] of [[culture]] was cut short by internal warfare along the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile Nile], and the country was soon overrun, as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] had been, by the inferior [[tribes]] from inhospitable [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabia Arabia] and by the blacks from the south. As a result, [[social]] [[progress]] steadily declined for more than five hundred years.
