During the decline of culture in Mesopotamia there persisted for some time
a superior civilization on the islands of the eastern Mediterranean.

About 12,000 B.C. a brilliant tribe of Andites migrated
to Crete. This was the only island settled so early by such a superior group,
and it was almost two thousand years before the descendants of these
mariners
spread to the neighboring isles. This group were the
narrow-headed, smaller-statured
Andites who had intermarried with the Vanite division of the northern Nodites.
They were all under six feet in height and had been literally driven off the
mainland by their larger and inferior fellows. These
emigrants to Crete were
highly skilled in
textiles, metals, pottery,
plumbing, and the use of stone
for building material. They engaged in writing and carried on as herders and
agriculturists.

Almost two thousand years after the settlement of Crete a group of the tall
descendants of Adamson made their way over the northern islands to Greece,
coming almost directly from their highland home north of Mesopotamia. These
progenitors of the Greeks were led westward by Sato, a direct descendant of
Adamson and Ratta.
P895:4, 80:7.4
The group which finally settled in Greece consisted of three hundred and seventy-five
of the selected and superior people comprising the end of the second civilization
of the Adamsonites. These later sons of Adamson carried the then most valuable
strains of the emerging white races. They were of a high intellectual order
and, physically regarded, the most beautiful of men since the days of the
first Eden.

Presently Greece and the Aegean Islands region succeeded Mesopotamia and Egypt
as the Occidental center of trade, art, and culture. But as it was in Egypt,
so again practically all of the art and science of the Aegean world was derived
from Mesopotamia except for the culture of the Adamsonite forerunners of the
Greeks. All the art and genius of these latter people is a direct legacy of
the posterity of Adamson, the first son of Adam and Eve, and his extraordinary
second wife, a daughter descended in an unbroken line from the pure Nodite
staff of Prince Caligastia. No wonder the Greeks had mythological traditions
that they were directly descended from gods and superhuman beings.
P895:6, 80:7.6
The Aegean region passed through five distinct cultural stages, each less
spiritual than the preceding, and erelong the last glorious era of art perished
beneath the weight of the rapidly multiplying mediocre descendants of the
Danubian slaves who had been imported by the later generations of Greeks.
P895:7, 80:7.7
It was during this age in Crete that the mother cult of the descendants
of Cain attained its greatest vogue. This cult glorified Eve in the worship
of the "great mother." Images of Eve were everywhere. Thousands
of public shrines were erected throughout Crete and Asia Minor. And this mother
cult persisted on down to the times of Christ, becoming later incorporated
in the early Christian religion under the guise of the glorification and worship
of Mary the earth mother of Jesus.
P895:8, 80:7.8
By about 6500 B.C. there had occurred a great decline
in the spiritual heritage of the Andites. The descendants of Adam were widespreadly
dispersed and had been virtually swallowed up in the older and more numerous
human races. And this decadence of Andite civilization, together with the
disappearance of their religious standards, left the spiritually impoverished
races of the world in a deplorable condition.
P896:1, 80:7.9
By 5000 B.C. the three purest strains of Adam's descendants
were in Sumeria, northern Europe, and Greece. The whole of Mesopotamia was
being slowly deteriorated by the stream of mixed and darker races which filtered
in from Arabia. And the coming of these inferior peoples contributed further
to the
scattering abroad of the biologic and cultural residue of the Andites.
From all over the fertile crescent the more adventurous peoples poured westward
to the islands. These migrants cultivated both grain and vegetables, and they
brought domesticated animals with them.

About 5000 B.C. a mighty host of progressive Mesopotamians
moved out of the Euphrates valley and settled upon the island of Cyprus; this
civilization was wiped out about two thousand years subsequently by the barbarian
hordes from the north.

Another great colony settled on the Mediterranean near the later site of Carthage.
And from north Africa large numbers of Andites entered Spain and later mingled
in Switzerland with their brethren who had earlier come to Italy from the
Aegean Islands.

When Egypt followed Mesopotamia in cultural decline, many of the more able
and advanced families fled to Crete, thus greatly augmenting this already
advanced civilization. And when the arrival of inferior groups from Egypt
later threatened the civilization of Crete, the more cultured families moved
on west to Greece.
P896:5, 80:7.1 3
The Greeks were not only great teachers and artists, they were also the world's
greatest traders and colonizers. Before succumbing to the flood of inferiority
which eventually engulfed their art and commerce, they succeeded in planting
so many outposts of culture to the west that a great many of the advances
in early Greek civilization persisted in the later peoples of southern Europe,
and many of the mixed descendants of these Adamsonites became incorporated
in the tribes of the adjacent mainlands.
