73:1.1 On a [[normal]] [[planet]] the arrival of the [[Material Son]] would ordinarily herald the approach of a great age of [[invention]], [[material]] [[progress]], and [[intellectual]] [[enlightenment]]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:3._POST-ADAMIC_MAN post-Adamic era] is the great [[scientific]] age of most worlds, but not so on [[Urantia]]. Though the [[planet]] was peopled by [[races]] [[physically]] fit, the [[tribes]] languished in the depths of [[savagery]] and [[moral]] [[Darkness|stagnation]].

73:1.2 Ten thousand years after [[the rebellion]] practically all the gains of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66 the Prince's administration] had been effaced; the [[races]] of the world were little better off than if this misguided Son had never come to [[Urantia]].

73:1.3 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:4._THE_CALIGASTIA_ONE_HUNDRED_AFTER_REBELLION Nodites] were the [[descendants]] of the rebel members of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff], their name deriving from their first leader, ''Nod'', onetime chairman of the [[Dalamatia]] commission on [[industry]] and trade.

73:1.4 There existed a [[traditional]] [[enmity]] between the Nodites and the Amadonites. This [[feud]] was constantly coming to the [[surface]] whenever the [[offspring]] of these [[two]] [[groups]] would try to [[engage]] in some common [[enterprise]]. Even later, in the affairs of [[Eden]], it was exceedingly [[difficult]] for them to [[work]] [[together]] in [[peace]].
