| 35,000 BC:
THE ADAMITES
 Adam
and Eve were the founders of the violet race, the ninth human race to
appear on Urantia. They were imported from Jerusem, sent to our planet
as teachers, ministers, and biologic uplifters for the evolutionary
races. Regardless of its lagging cultural evolution, the human race had
exhausted its biological potentials and was ready for an infusion of new
qualities.
Adam
and Eve were around eight feet tall, had blue eyes, light hair color—yellow,
red, and brown—and fair complexions that emanated a violet glow. Their
progeny was designed to interbreed with the human stock, and these sons
and daughters were prepared to endow humanity with new characteristics—a
heightened sense of humor, augmented artistic and musical abilities,
imagination, love of adventure, curiosity, higher intelligence, and
enhanced spiritual receptivity. The ordained plan was to build up a
large reserve of pure-line Adamites before mating with selected members
of the human race. The first Garden of Eden was located on a now-sunken
peninsula off the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and here Adam
and Eve served to educate and inspire the races for over a hundred years
before defaulting in their mission. Reduced
to mortal status and driven out of the garden, the Adamites were
forced to find another location in which to carry on their work. At this
point their family consisted of four generations numbering 1,647
pure-line descendants (most of whom chose to leave the planet after the
default) plus two offspring of joint parentage with the mortal stock.
After becoming established in the second garden between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia, Adam and Eve had forty-two more
children. Adam also elected to impregnate women selected by Eve from the
highest strains of the Nodites and the surrounding tribes, and the world
was thus given an additional 1,570 exceptional men and women, the
biologic foundation for the later-appearing mighty Andite race.
AROUND 35,000 BC;
THE ADAMSONITES
Adamson, the eldest son of Adam and Eve,
had often heard about the Nodite/Vanite settlements in the north, and
sometime after the establishment of the second garden he determined to
go in search of this land. (Adamson was then 120 years old and had
fathered thirty-two pure-line children, all of whom, along with his
mate, had elected to return to Jerusem after the default.) A company of
twenty-seven followed Adamson northward. Here, in one of the easternmost
of the old Vanite colonies, he discovered a beautiful young woman named
Ratta who claimed to be the last pure-line descendant of the Prince´s
staff. Adamson and Ratta were soon married, and their family of
sixty-seven children gave origin to a great line of the world's
leadership. The Adamsonites, whose headquarters was in the region east
of the southern end of the Caspian Sea near the Kopet Dagh, maintained a
high civilization for almost seven thousand years from the time of
Adamson and Ratta. Four diverse cultures successively arose there,
fostered by four different groups of Adamson´s descendants.
The
Secondary Midwayers
While both Adamson and Ratta were capable of producing human offspring,
they were really superhuman. To their surprise, every fourth child born
to them was often invisible. When the second unusual creature arrived,
and since one was male and the other female, Adamson decided to mate
them. The progeny of these beings constitute the secondary order of
midway creatures. Within one hundred years almost two thousand were
brought into being. The sixteen original children lived and died as
mortals of the realm, but their electrically energized offspring live on
and on, not being subject to the limitations of mortal flesh. They,
together with their primary midwayer cousins, represent the permanent
citizens of our planet.
25,000-15,000 BC:
THE ADAMIC MIGRATIONS
For 30,000 years the cradle of civilization
was in Mesopotamia where the peaceful violet race established its second
center of culture and religion. It had long been the custom for
"the sons of God" to mate with "the daughters of
man," to find wives in the nearby "land of Nod," the land
of the nearby Nodites. About 25,000 years ago, when population pressures
forced them to expand, the Adamites began sending forth their excess
inhabitants to the surrounding lands as teachers, traders, and
explorers.
Egypt:
Long before Adam arrived, the blue men of
Europe and the mixed races of Arabia had driven the purer indigo man out
of Egypt and far south on the African
continent, but there were still
pockets of the indigo race carrying extensive strains of the submerged
orange and green races who had their better-developed settlements in
what is now the Sahara desert. When the Adamites first began to
penetrate Egypt, the Sicilian land bridge connected Europe to Africa,
protecting the Mediterranean basin. Here Adamites met and mingled with
European blue men from the north, Saharans from the south, and
broad-headed Syrian Nodites from the east.
Egypt had received a very limited amount of
Adamic blood before severe drought conditions in the Sahara forced its
population of smaller-statured, dark-eyed, long-headed brunets to
disperse. While the purer indigo elements continued their southward
drift into central Africa, the mixed groups spread out in three
directions: The more advanced tribes went west across northern Africa to
Spain and adjacent parts of Europe, forming the nucleus of the later
Mediterranean races; the least progressive division migrated to Arabia
and thence through northern Mesopotamia and India to faraway Ceylon; and
the central group headed north and east to the Nile valley and into
Palestine.
Northern
Africa, Turkestan: Not long afterward the isthmus of Gibraltar gave way as the
result of an earthquake, creating one sea of the Mediterranean and
raising it to the level of the Atlantic Ocean. This cataclysm disrupted
the culture of the Mediterranean basin, and the westward-moving Adamites
were forced to retreat. The
great influx of Saharans on their heels drove them to the north and east
of Mesopotamia, to the highland regions northwest of India, where they
quickly assimilated the best of the Andonic cultures that had been
preserved. Moving slowly, by 23,000 BC they reached Turkestan
where, encountering mountain barriers and the then-expanded Caspian Sea,
they settled down for many generations to hunt, herd, and till the soil.
Here they became thoroughly admixed with the Nodites, Andonites, and red and
yellow Sangiks. Gradually these blended Adamites extended their
territory from Turkestan into southern Russia, and as they rounded into
Europe, they encountered the blue man whose culture, though dominant,
was far behind that of Mesopotamia.
Europe:
The
blue men were scattered all over Europe, and while Neanderthal
absorption had greatly retarded their progress, their better centers
were situated in the then fertile valleys of the Mediterranean basin and
in northwestern Europe. The pre-Adamic European blue races were already
a highly blended people carrying strains of both red and yellow, while
on the Atlantic coast lands and in the regions of present-day Russia
they had absorbed a considerable amount of Andonite blood. Slowly these
Adamites united with the best of the blue man while ruthlessly
exterminating the lingering strains of Neanderthal stock. A dozen or
more progressive groups were thus produced, one of which has come to be
known as the Cro-Magnon man. With Adamic infusion the Cro-Magnoid
blue man commenced to establish settlements and engage in agriculture
and commerce; he also began to save many of the mediocre captives as
slaves whose descendants subsequently weakened the Cro-Magnon type.
By 19,000 BC the Adamites of the second garden were a real nation,
numbering four and a half million, and had poured forth millions of
their progeny into the surrounding lands. |
