66:3.2 The [[climate]] and landscape in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] and their assistants, very [[different]] from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed.

66:3.3 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]].

66:4.1 The arrival of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] created a [[profound]] impression. While it required almost a thousand years for the news to spread abroad, those [[tribes]] near the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamian] headquarters were tremendously [[influenced]] by the [[teachings]] and conduct of the one hundred new [[sojourners]] on [[Urantia]]. And much of your subsequent [[mythology]] grew out of the garbled legends of these early days when these members of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] were [[repersonalized]] on [[Urantia]] as supermen.

66:4.2 The serious obstacle to the [[good]] [[influence]] of such extraplanetary [[teachers]] is the [[tendency]] of [[mortals]] to regard them as [[gods]], but aside from the [[technique]] of their [[appearance]] on [[earth]] the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Caligastia one hundred]—fifty [[men]] and fifty [[women]]—did not resort to [[supernatural]] [[methods]] nor superhuman [[manipulations]].

66:4.10 In [[conformity]] to their instructions the staff did not [[engage]] in [[sexual]] [[reproduction]], but they did painstakingly [[study]] their [[personal]] [[Body|constitutions]], and they carefully [[explored]] every [[imaginable]] [[phase]] of [[intellectual]] ([[mind]]) and [[morontia]] ([[soul]]) [[liaison]]. And it was during the thirty-third year of their [[sojourn]] in [[Dalamatia]], long before the wall was completed, that number two and number seven of the Danite group [[accidentally]] [[discovered]] a [[phenomenon]] attendant upon the [[liaison]] of their [[morontia]] [[selves]] (supposedly nonsexual and nonmaterial); and the result of this [[adventure]] proved to be the first of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary midway creatures].

66:5.2 1. ''The council on food and material welfare''. This [[group]] was presided over by ''Ang''. [[Food]], [[water]], clothes, and the material advancement of the [[human]] [[species]] were fostered by this able corps. They taught [[well]] digging, spring control, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation irrigation].

66:5.3 Great advances were made in [[methods]] of food storage.

[[Man]] was taught to provide for the hazards of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine famine], which periodically decimated the world.

66:5.5 Several [[types]] of useful [[animals]], now [[extinct]], were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication tamed], [[together]] with some that have [[continued]] as domesticated animals to the [[present]] day. [[Man]] had long lived with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog], and the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA blue man] had already been successful in taming the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant elephant]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow cow] was so improved by careful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding breeding] as to become a valuable [[source]] of [[food]]; butter and cheese became common articles of [[human]] [[diet]]. Men were taught to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxen oxen] for burden bearing, but the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse horse] was not domesticated until a later date. The members of this corps first taught men to use the [[wheel]] for the [[facilitation]] of traction.

66:5.6 It was in these days that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_pigeons carrier pigeons] were first used, being taken on long [[journeys]] for the [[purpose]] of sending [[messages]] or calls for help. ''Bon'''s [[group]] were successful in [[training]] the great [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda fandors] as passenger birds, but they became [[extinct]] more than thirty thousand years ago.

66:5.7 3. ''The advisers regarding the conquest of predatory animals''. It was not enough that early man should try to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication domesticate] certain [[animals]], but he must also learn how to protect himself from destruction by the remainder of the hostile [[animal]] world.

66:5.8 The [[purpose]] of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_wall ancient city wall] was to protect against ferocious beasts as well as to prevent surprise [[attacks]] by [[hostile]] [[humans]]. Those living without the walls and in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest forest] were dependent on [http://greenweb.federatedmedia.net/archives/152 tree dwellings], [[Shelter|stone huts]], and the [[maintenance]] of [[night]] [[fires]]. It was therefore very [[natural]] that these [[teachers]] should [[devote]] much time to instructing their [[pupils]] in the improvement of [[human]] [[Home|dwellings]]. By employing improved [[techniques]] and by the use of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_trapping traps], great [[progress]] was made in [[animal]] subjugation.

66:5.9 4. ''The faculty on dissemination and conservation of knowledge''. This [[group]] [[organized]] and directed the [[purely]] [[educational]] endeavors of those early ages. It was presided over by ''Fad''. The [[educational]] [[methods]] of Fad consisted in supervision of employment accompanied by instruction in improved [[methods]] of [[labor]]. Fad formulated the first [[alphabet]] and introduced a [[writing]] [[system]]. This [[alphabet]] contained twenty-five characters. For [[writing]] [[material]] these early peoples utilized [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_material tree barks, clay tablets, stone slabs, a form of parchment] made of hammered hides, and a crude form of [[paper]]like [[material]] made from wasps' nests. The ''Dalamatia'' [[library]], destroyed soon after the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:1._THE_CALIGASTIA_BETRAYAL Caligastia disaffection], comprised more than two million separate [[records]] and was known as the "house of Fad."

66:5.11 5. ''The commission on industry and trade''. This [[council]] was employed in fostering [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry industry] within the [[tribes]] and in promoting [[trade]] between the various [[peace]] [[groups]]. Its leader was ''Nod''. Every [[form]] of [[primitive]] [[manufacture]] was [[encouraged]] by this corps.

Its leader was ''Nod''. Every [[form]] of [[primitive]] [[manufacture]] was [[encouraged]] by this corps. They [[contributed]] directly to the elevation of [[standards]] of living by providing many new commodities to [[attract]] the fancy of [[primitive]] men. They greatly expanded the [[trade]] in the improved [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt salt] produced by the [[council]] on [[science]] and [[art]].

66:5.12 It was among these [[enlightened]] [[groups]] [[educated]] in the ''Dalamatia'' schools that the first [[commercial]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit credit] was [[practiced]]. From a central [[exchange]] of credits they secured [[Money|tokens]] which were [[accepted]] in lieu of the [[actual]] objects of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barter barter]. The world did not improve upon these [[business]] [[methods]] for hundreds of thousands of years.

[[Urantia]] [[civilization]] was [[literally]] forged out between the ''anvil of [[necessity]] and the hammers of [[fear]]''.

66:5.18 Its members taught much that was lost during the [[confusion]] of subsequent ages, never to be rediscovered until the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century twentieth century]. They taught [[mankind]] that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking cooking], boiling and roasting, was a means of avoiding [[sickness]]; also that such cooking greatly reduced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant-mortality infant mortality] and [[facilitated]] early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaning weaning].

66:5.20 The great obstacle in the way of promoting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene hygiene] among these [[ignorant]] peoples consisted in the [[fact]] that the real [[causes]] of many [[diseases]] were too small to be seen by the naked eye, and also because they all held [[fire]] in [[superstitious]] regard. It required thousands of years to [[persuade]] them to burn refuse. In the meantime they were urged to [[bury]] their decaying rubbish. The great [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitation sanitary] advance of this [[epoch]] came from the [[dissemination]] of [[knowledge]] regarding the [[health]]-giving and [[disease]]-destroying [[properties]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight sunlight].

66:5.21 Before the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:4._EARLY_DAYS_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED Prince's arrival], bathing had been an exclusively [[religious]] [[ceremonial]].

66:5.25 These [[primitive]] men would not consent to [[experiment]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_engine steam power], notwithstanding the repeated urgings of their [[teachers]]; never could they overcome their great [[fear]] of the [[explosive]] [[power]] of confined steam. They were, however, finally [[persuaded]] to [[work]] with metals and [[fire]], although a piece of red-hot metal was a terrorizing object to early man.

They fostered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtship courtship] and [[marriage]] after due deliberation and full [[opportunity]] to become acquainted. The [[purely]] military war [[dances]] were refined and made to serve valuable [[social]] ends. Many [[competitive]] [[games]] were introduced, but these ancient folk were a serious people; little [[humor]] [[graced]] these early [[tribes]]. Few of these [[practices]] survived the subsequent disintegration of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67 planetary insurrection].

In the vicinity of ''Dalamatia'' there [[developed]] a more advanced [[culture]], and these improved social [[relations]] were very helpful in influencing more remote [[tribes]]. But the [[pattern]] of [[civilization]] prevailing at the Prince's [[headquarters]] was quite [[different]] from the barbaric [[society]] evolving elsewhere, just as the twentieth-century society of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capetown_South_Africa Capetown, South Africa], is totally unlike the crude [[culture]] of the diminutive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmnet Bushmen] to the north.

Students were taught manual dexterity as [[individuals]] and were socialized in [[groups]] or classes. They were [[trained]] to fraternize with younger groups, older groups, and adults, as well as to do [[teamwork]] with those of their own ages. They were also familiarized with such [[associations]] as [[family]] [[groups]], [[play]] squads, and school classes.

The significance of the [[number]] [[seven]] in the [[superuniverse]] undoubtedly afforded them [[opportunity]] to introduce a [[spiritual]] reminder into the common reckoning of [[time]]. But there is no [[natural]] [[origin]] for the weekly period.
