0:00
Speaker 1: Section eight The Lost Lemuria by William Scott Elliott. The
0:05
Speaker 1: sliprivox recording is in the public domain. The Lost Lemuria
0:10
Speaker 1: Part two Evidence obtained from archaic records. The further evidence
0:16
Speaker 1: we have with regard to Lemuria and its inhabitants has
0:19
Speaker 1: been obtained from the same source and in the same
0:22
Speaker 1: manner as that which resulted in the writing of the
0:25
Speaker 1: story of Atlantis. In this case, also the author has
0:28
Speaker 1: been privileged to obtain copies of two maps, one representing
0:32
Speaker 1: Limuria and the adjoining lands during the period of that
0:35
Speaker 1: continent's greatest expansion, the other exhibiting its outlines after its
0:39
Speaker 1: dismemberment by great catastrophes, but long before its final destruction.
0:45
Speaker 1: It was never professed that the maps of Atlantis were
0:47
Speaker 1: correct to a single degree of latitude or longitude. But
0:51
Speaker 1: with the far greater difficulty of obtaining the information in
0:54
Speaker 1: the present case, it must be stated that still less
0:57
Speaker 1: must these maps of Lemuria be taken off is absolutely accurate.
1:01
Speaker 1: In the former case, there was a globe, a good
1:04
Speaker 1: bar releaf in terracotta, and a well preserved map on
1:08
Speaker 1: parchment or skin of some sort to copy from. In
1:11
Speaker 1: the present case, there was only a broken terracotta model
1:15
Speaker 1: and a very badly preserved and crumpled map, so that
1:19
Speaker 1: the difficulty of carrying back the remembrance of all the details,
1:22
Speaker 1: and consequently of reproducing exact copies has been far greater.
1:26
Speaker 1: We were told that it was by mighty adepts in
1:29
Speaker 1: the days of Atlantis that the Atlantean maps were produced,
1:33
Speaker 1: but we are not aware whether the Lemurian maps were
1:36
Speaker 1: fashioned by some of the divine instructors in the days
1:39
Speaker 1: when Lemuria still existed, or in still later days of
1:43
Speaker 1: the Atlantian epoch. But while guarding against over confidence in
1:47
Speaker 1: the absolute accuracy of the maps in question, the transcriber
1:50
Speaker 1: of the Archaic Originals believes that they may, in all
1:54
Speaker 1: important particulars be taken as approximately correct. Probable duration of
1:59
Speaker 1: the continent of Lemuria, a period speaking roughly of between
2:04
Speaker 1: four and five million years, probably represents the life of
2:07
Speaker 1: the continent of Atlantis, for it is about that time
2:10
Speaker 1: since their more halt, the first sub race of the
2:12
Speaker 1: fourth Root race, who inhabited Atlantis, arose on a portion
2:16
Speaker 1: of the Lemurian continent which at that time still existed.
2:20
Speaker 1: Remembering that in the evolutionary process, the figure four invariably
2:25
Speaker 1: represents not only the nature of the cycle, but the
2:28
Speaker 1: period of shortest duration, whether in the case of a
2:31
Speaker 1: Manvantara or of a race. It may be assumed that
2:35
Speaker 1: the number of millions of years assignable as the live
2:38
Speaker 1: limit of the continent of Lemuria must be very much
2:41
Speaker 1: greater than that representing the life of Atlantis, the continent
2:44
Speaker 1: of the fourth Root race. But in the case of
2:47
Speaker 1: Lemuria no dates can be stated with even approximate accuracy.
2:50
Speaker 1: Geological epochs, so far as they are known to modern science,
2:54
Speaker 1: will be a better medium for contemporary reference, and they
2:57
Speaker 1: alone will be dealt with the maps. But not even
3:01
Speaker 1: geological epochs, it will be observed, are assigned to the maps. If, however,
3:06
Speaker 1: an inference may be drawn from all the evidence before us,
3:09
Speaker 1: it would seem probable that the older of the two
3:11
Speaker 1: Limourrian maps represented the Earth's configuration from the Permian through
3:16
Speaker 1: the Triassic and into the Jurassic epoch, while the second
3:20
Speaker 1: map probably represents the Earth's configuration through the Cretaceous and
3:24
Speaker 1: into the Eocene period. From the older of the two maps,
3:28
Speaker 1: it may be seen that the equatorial continent of Lemuria
3:31
Speaker 1: at the time of its greatest expansion nearly girdled the globe,
3:35
Speaker 1: extending as it then did, from the site of the
3:37
Speaker 1: present Cape Verd Islands a few miles from the coast
3:40
Speaker 1: of Sierra Leone in a southeasterly direction, through Africa, Australia,
3:46
Speaker 1: the Society Islands, and all the intervening seas, to a
3:49
Speaker 1: point but a few miles distant from a great island
3:52
Speaker 1: continent about the size of the present South America, which
3:56
Speaker 1: spread over the remainder of the Pacific Ocean and included
3:59
Speaker 1: Cape Horn and parts of Patagonia. A remarkable feature in
4:03
Speaker 1: the second mop of Lemuria is the great length, and
4:06
Speaker 1: at part the extreme narrowness of the straits which separated
4:10
Speaker 1: the two great blocks of land into which the continent
4:12
Speaker 1: had by this time been split. And it will be
4:15
Speaker 1: observed that the straits at present existing between the islands
4:19
Speaker 1: of Bali and Lombok coincide with a portion of the
4:22
Speaker 1: straits which then divided these two continents. It will also
4:26
Speaker 1: be seen that these straits continued in an northerly direction
4:30
Speaker 1: by the west, not by the east coast of Borneo,
4:33
Speaker 1: as conjectured by Ernest Hegel with reference to the distribution
4:38
Speaker 1: of fauna and flora in the existence of so many
4:40
Speaker 1: types common to India and Africa alike, pointed out by
4:44
Speaker 1: mister Blandford, it will be observed that between parts of
4:47
Speaker 1: India and great tracts of Africa there was direct land
4:51
Speaker 1: communication during the first map period, and that similar communication
4:55
Speaker 1: was partially maintained in the.
4:57
Speaker 2: Second MOP period.
4:58
Speaker 1: Also, while a comparison of the maps of Atlantis with
5:02
Speaker 1: those of the Muria will demonstrate that continuous land communication
5:05
Speaker 1: existed now at one epoch and now at another, between
5:09
Speaker 1: so many different parts of the Earth's surface at present
5:12
Speaker 1: separated by sea, that the existing distribution of fauna and
5:16
Speaker 1: flora in the two Americas, in Europe and in Eastern Lands,
5:19
Speaker 1: which has been such a puzzled naturalist, may with perfect
5:23
Speaker 1: ease be accounted for. The island indicated in the earlier
5:27
Speaker 1: Limurian map as existing to the northwest of the extreme
5:30
Speaker 1: promontory of that continent and due west of the present
5:33
Speaker 1: coast of Spain, was probably a center from which preceded
5:37
Speaker 1: during long ages the distribution of fauna and.
5:39
Speaker 2: Flora above referred to.
5:41
Speaker 1: For and this is a most interesting fact, it will
5:44
Speaker 1: be seen that this island must have been the nucleus
5:47
Speaker 1: from first to last of the subsequent great continent of Atlantis.
5:52
Speaker 1: It existed, as we see in these earliest Lemurian times.
5:56
Speaker 1: It was joined in the second Map period to land
5:58
Speaker 1: which had previously formed part of the Great Lemurian continent,
6:02
Speaker 1: and indeed so many accuations of territory had it by
6:06
Speaker 1: this time received that it might more appropriately be called
6:09
Speaker 1: a continent than an island. It was a great mountainous
6:12
Speaker 1: region of Atlantis at its prime, when Atlantis embraced great
6:16
Speaker 1: tracts of land which have now become north in South America.
6:20
Speaker 1: It remained the mountainous region of Atlantis in its decadence
6:23
Speaker 1: and of Rutah in the Ruta and Aitia epoch, and
6:26
Speaker 1: it practically constituted the island of Poseidonis, the last remnant
6:30
Speaker 1: of the continent of Atlantis, the final submergence of which
6:33
Speaker 1: took place in the year ninety five sixty four b C.
6:37
Speaker 1: A comparison of the two maps here given along with
6:40
Speaker 1: the four maps of Atlantis, will also show that Australia,
6:43
Speaker 1: New Zealand, Madagascar, parts of Somaliland, the south of Africa,
6:48
Speaker 1: and the extreme southern portion of Patagonia are lands which
6:51
Speaker 1: have probably existed through all the intervening catastrophes since the
6:55
Speaker 1: early days of the Lemurian period. The same may be
6:58
Speaker 1: said of the southern parts of India and Ceylon, with
7:01
Speaker 1: the exception in the case of Ceylon of a temporary
7:04
Speaker 1: submergence in the Hutah and Aeitia epoch. It is true
7:08
Speaker 1: there are also remains still existing of the even earlier
7:12
Speaker 1: Hyperborean continent, and they, of course are the oldest known
7:15
Speaker 1: lands on the face of the Earth. These are Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen,
7:21
Speaker 1: the most northerly parts of Norway and Sweden, and the
7:24
Speaker 1: extreme north cape of Siberia.
7:27
Speaker 2: Japan is shown.
7:28
Speaker 1: By the maps to have been above water, whether as
7:31
Speaker 1: an island or as part of a continent, since the
7:33
Speaker 1: date of the second Limurian map. Spain too, has doubtless
7:37
Speaker 1: existed since that time. Spain is, therefore, with the exception
7:41
Speaker 1: of the most northerly parts of Norway and Sweden, probably
7:44
Speaker 1: the oldest land in Europe. The indeterminate character of the
7:48
Speaker 1: statements just made is surrendered necessary by our knowledge that
7:52
Speaker 1: there died occurs subsidiencies and upheavals of different portions of
7:56
Speaker 1: the Earth's surface during the ages which lay between the
7:59
Speaker 1: peious represented by the maps. For example, soon after the
8:02
Speaker 1: date of the secondly Murion map, we are informed that
8:05
Speaker 1: the whole Malay Peninsula was submerged and remained so for
8:09
Speaker 1: a long time. But the subsequent upheaval of that region
8:13
Speaker 1: must have taken place before the date of the first
8:15
Speaker 1: Atlantic map, for what is now the Malay Peninsula is
8:19
Speaker 1: there exhibited as part of a great continent. Similarly, there
8:23
Speaker 1: have been repeated minor subsidences and upheavals nearer home in
8:27
Speaker 1: more recent times, and Heckel is perfectly correct in saying
8:30
Speaker 1: that England, he might, with greater accuracy, have set the
8:33
Speaker 1: islands of Great Britain and Ireland, which were then joined together.
8:37
Speaker 1: Quote has repeatedly been connected with the European continent, and
8:41
Speaker 1: been repeatedly separated from it unquote.
8:45
Speaker 2: In order to.
8:45
Speaker 1: Bring the subjects more clearly before the mind, a tabular
8:49
Speaker 1: statement is here annexed, which supplies the condensed history of
8:53
Speaker 1: the animal and plant life on our globe, bracketed according
8:57
Speaker 1: to Heckel, with a contemporary rock strata. Two other columns
9:01
Speaker 1: give the contemporary races of man and such of the
9:04
Speaker 1: great cataclysms as are known to occult students, reptiles and
9:09
Speaker 1: pine forests. From this statement, it will be seen that
9:13
Speaker 1: Lemurian man lived in the age of reptiles and pine forests.
9:17
Speaker 1: The amphibious monsters and the gigantic tree ferns of the
9:20
Speaker 1: Permian age still flourished in the warm darm climates. Plesiossary
9:25
Speaker 1: and ichthiosary swarmed in the tepid marshes of the Mesolithic epoch,
9:29
Speaker 1: but with a drying gup of many of the inland seas,
9:33
Speaker 1: the dinosauria, the monstrous land reptiles, gradually became the dominant type,
9:38
Speaker 1: while the pterodactyls thesaurians, which developed butt like wings, not
9:43
Speaker 1: only crawled on the earth but flew through the air.
9:46
Speaker 2: The smallest of.
9:47
Speaker 1: These latter were about the size of a sparrow, the largest, however,
9:52
Speaker 1: with a breadth of wing of more than sixteen feet,
9:55
Speaker 1: exceeding the largest of our living birds of today. While
9:59
Speaker 1: more to the dinosauria, the dragons were terrible beasts of prey,
10:04
Speaker 1: colossal reptiles which attained the length of from forty to
10:08
Speaker 1: fifty feet. Subsequent excavations have laid bare skeletons of an
10:13
Speaker 1: even larger size. Professor Ray Lancaster, at a meeting of
10:18
Speaker 1: the Royal Institution on seventh January nineteen o four, is
10:22
Speaker 1: reported to have referred to a Brontosaurus skeleton of sixty
10:26
Speaker 1: five feet long, which had been discovered in the early
10:29
Speaker 1: to deposit in the southern part of the United States
10:32
Speaker 1: of America. As it is written in the Stansas of
10:35
Speaker 1: the Archaic Book of Xian, animals with bones, dragons of
10:39
Speaker 1: the deep and flying surpas were added to the creeping things.
10:43
Speaker 1: They that creep on the ground god wings. They of
10:46
Speaker 1: the long necks in the water became the progenitors of
10:49
Speaker 1: the fowls of the air. Modern science records her endorsement.
10:55
Speaker 1: The class of birds, as already remarked, is so closely
10:58
Speaker 1: allied to reptiles in internal structure and by embryonal development,
11:02
Speaker 1: that they undoubtedly originated out of a branch of this class.
11:06
Speaker 1: The derivation of birds from reptiles first took place in
11:09
Speaker 1: the Mesolithic epoch, and this moreover probably during the Trias
11:14
Speaker 1: in the Vegetable Kingdom. This epoch also saw the pine
11:18
Speaker 1: and the palm tree gradually displays the giant tree ferns
11:21
Speaker 1: in the later days of the Mesolithic epoch, mables for
11:25
Speaker 1: the first time came into existence, but the fossil remains
11:28
Speaker 1: of the mammoth and mastodon, which where their earliest representatives,
11:33
Speaker 1: are chiefly found in the subsequent strata of the Eocene
11:36
Speaker 1: and Miocene times. Table the Ouratian epoch, Cambrian epoch, Silurian epoch,
11:44
Speaker 1: rock strata, archelithic or primordial depth of strata in feet

13:13
Speaker 1: Atlantis was destroyed in the Museum period about eight hundred
13:17
Speaker 1: thousand years ago. Second grade catastrophe about two hundred thousand
13:22
Speaker 1: years ago. Animals, mammals, plants, forests of the sie Jews, trees,
13:30

13:39
Speaker 1: Depth of strata in feet, five hundred races of men,
13:44
Speaker 1: fifth root race or Aryan cataclysms. Third grade catastrophe about
13:49
Speaker 1: eighty thousand years ago, final submersions of Poseidonis ninety five
13:54
Speaker 1: sixty four BC. Animals, more differentiated mammals, plants, cultivated forests.
14:03
Speaker 2: End of table. The human Kingdom.
14:07
Speaker 1: Before making any reference to what must, even at this
14:11
Speaker 1: early date, be called the human kingdom, it must be
14:14
Speaker 1: stated that none of those who at the present day
14:17
Speaker 1: can lay claim to even a moderate amount of mental
14:19
Speaker 1: or spiritual culture can have lived in these ages. It
14:23
Speaker 1: was only with the advent of the last three sub
14:26
Speaker 1: races of this third root race that the least progress
14:29
Speaker 1: of the first group of the lunar pe trees began
14:32
Speaker 1: to return to incarnation, while the most advanced among them
14:36
Speaker 1: did not take birth till the early sub races of
14:39
Speaker 1: the Atlantic period. Indeed, Lemurian man during at least the
14:43
Speaker 1: first half of the race must be regarded rather as
14:46
Speaker 1: an animal destined to reach humanity than as a human,
14:50
Speaker 1: according to our understanding of the term. For though the
14:53
Speaker 1: second and third groups of petries who constituted the inhabitants
14:57
Speaker 1: of Lemuria during its first four sub races had achieved
15:01
Speaker 1: sufficient self consciousness in the lunar manvantera to differentiate them
15:05
Speaker 1: from the animal kingdom, they had not yet received the
15:08
Speaker 1: divine spark which should endow them with mind and individuality,
15:13
Speaker 1: in other words, make them truly human size and consistency
15:18
Speaker 1: of man's body. The evolution of this Limoian rays therefore
15:23
Speaker 1: constitutes one of the most obscure as well as one
15:26
Speaker 1: of the most interesting chapters of man's development, for during
15:30
Speaker 1: this period, not only did he reach true humanity, but
15:34
Speaker 1: his body under one of the greatest physical changes, while
15:37
Speaker 1: the processes of reproduction were twice altered. In explanation of
15:42
Speaker 1: the surprising statements which will have to be made in
15:44
Speaker 1: regard to the size and consistency of man's body at
15:48
Speaker 1: this early period, it must be remembered that while the animal,
15:51
Speaker 1: vegetable ad mineral kingdoms pursued the normal course on this
15:55
Speaker 1: the fourth globe, during the fourth round of this manvantera,
15:59
Speaker 1: it was ordained that humanity should run over in rapid
16:03
Speaker 1: succession the various stages through which its evolution had passed
16:07
Speaker 1: during the previous rounds of the present manventura. Thus, the
16:11
Speaker 1: bodies of the first root race, in which these almost
16:14
Speaker 1: mindless beings were destined to gain experience, would have appeared
16:17
Speaker 1: to us as gigantic phantoms, if indeed we could have
16:21
Speaker 1: seen them at all, For their bodies were formed of
16:24
Speaker 1: astral matter. The astral forms of the first root race
16:28
Speaker 1: were then gradually enveloped in a more physical casing. But
16:32
Speaker 1: though the second root race may be called physical, their
16:36
Speaker 1: bodies being composed of ether, they would have been equally
16:39
Speaker 1: invisible to eyesight as it at present exists. It was
16:43
Speaker 1: we were told in order that the Manu and the
16:45
Speaker 1: beings who waded him might take means for improving the
16:48
Speaker 1: physical type of humanity, that this epitome of the process
16:52
Speaker 1: of evolution was ordained. The highest development which the type
16:56
Speaker 1: had so far reached was a huge ape like creature,
17:00
Speaker 1: which had existed on the three physical planets Mars, the Earth,
17:03
Speaker 1: and Mercury in the third round on the arrival of
17:07
Speaker 1: the human life wave on the Earth. In this the
17:10
Speaker 1: fourth round, a certain number, naturally of these apelike creatures
17:14
Speaker 1: were found in occupation the residuum left on the planet
17:18
Speaker 1: during its period of obscuration. These, of course, joined the
17:22
Speaker 1: incoming human stream as soon as the rays became fully physical.
17:27
Speaker 1: Their bodies may not then have been absolutely discarded. They
17:30
Speaker 1: may have been utilized for purposes of reincarnation for the
17:34
Speaker 1: most backward entities. But it was an improvement on this
17:37
Speaker 1: type which was required, and this was most easily achieved
17:40
Speaker 1: by the Manu through walking out on the astral plane.
17:44
Speaker 1: In the first instance, the archetype originally formed in the
17:47
Speaker 1: mind of the Logos from the etheric second rays, then
17:51
Speaker 1: was evolved the third the Lemurion. Their bodies had become material,
17:56
Speaker 1: being composed of the gases, liquids, and solids, which constitute
17:59
Speaker 1: the three lowest subdivisions of the physical plane. But the
18:03
Speaker 1: gases and liquids still predominated, for as yet their vertebrate
18:08
Speaker 1: structure had not solidified into bones such as ours, and
18:12
Speaker 1: they could not therefore stand erect. Their bones, in fact,
18:16
Speaker 1: were pliable, as the bones of young infants now are.
18:20
Speaker 1: It was not until the middle of the Lemurian period
18:22
Speaker 1: that man developed a solid bone structure. To explain the
18:26
Speaker 1: possibility of the process by which the etheric form evolved
18:30
Speaker 1: into a more physical form and the soft boned physical
18:33
Speaker 1: form ultimately developed into a structure such as man possesses today,
18:38
Speaker 1: it is only necessary to refer to the permanent physical atom, containing,
18:43
Speaker 1: as it does, the essence of all the forms through
18:46
Speaker 1: which Man has passed on the physical plane. It contained, consequently,
18:50
Speaker 1: the potentiality of a hard bone physical structure such as
18:53
Speaker 1: had been attained during the course of the third round,
18:57
Speaker 1: as well as the potentiality of an etheric form and
19:00
Speaker 1: all the faces which lie between. For it must be
19:03
Speaker 1: remembered that the physical plane consists of four grades of ether,
19:07
Speaker 1: as well as the gases, liquids, and solids, which so
19:11
Speaker 1: many are apt to regard as alone constituting the physical. Thus,
19:15
Speaker 1: every stage of the development was a natural process, for
19:19
Speaker 1: it was a process which had been accomplished in ages
19:22
Speaker 1: long past, And all that was needed was for the
19:24
Speaker 1: Manu and the beings who aided him to gather round
19:27
Speaker 1: the permanent atom the appropriate kind of matter organs of vision.
19:33
Speaker 1: The organs of vision of these creatures before the developed bones,
19:38
Speaker 1: were of a rudimentary nature. At least, such was the
19:41
Speaker 1: condition of the two eyes in front, with which they
19:44
Speaker 1: sought for their food upon the ground.
19:47
Speaker 2: But there was a third eye at the back of
19:49
Speaker 2: the head.
19:50
Speaker 1: The out of it, remnant of which is now known
19:52
Speaker 1: as the pinal gland. This, as we know, is now
19:55
Speaker 1: a center solely of vestral vision, But at the epoch
19:59
Speaker 1: of which we are speed it was a chief center
20:01
Speaker 1: not only of astral but a physical sight. Referring to
20:05
Speaker 1: reptiles which had become extinct, Professor Ray Lancaster, in a
20:09
Speaker 1: recent lecture at the Royal Institution, is reported to have
20:12
Speaker 1: drawn special attention quote to the size of the poietal
20:16
Speaker 1: foramen in the skull, which showed that in the ichthiosaurs,
20:20
Speaker 1: the parietal or penial eye on the top of the
20:23
Speaker 1: head must have been very large unquote. In this respect,
20:28
Speaker 1: he went on to say mankind were inferior to these
20:30
Speaker 1: big sea lizards. Quote, for we had lost the third eye,
20:34
Speaker 1: which might be studied in the common lizard, or better
20:37
Speaker 1: in the great blue lizard of the south of France unquote.
20:42
Speaker 1: Somewhat before the middle of the Lemurian period, probably during
20:45
Speaker 1: the evolution of the third sub race, the gigantic gelatinous
20:49
Speaker 1: body began slowly to solidify and the soft boned leams
20:53
Speaker 1: developed into a bony structure. These primitive creatures were now
20:57
Speaker 1: able to stand upright, and the two eyes in the
20:59
Speaker 1: face gradually became the chief organs of physical sight, though
21:03
Speaker 1: the third eye still remained to some extent an organ
21:06
Speaker 1: of physical sight also, and this it did till the
21:09
Speaker 1: very end of the Lemurian epoch. Eed, of course, remained
21:12
Speaker 1: an actual organ, as it still is a potential focus
21:16
Speaker 1: of psychic vision. This psychic vision continues to be an
21:19
Speaker 1: attribute of the race not only throughout the whole Limurian period,
21:24
Speaker 1: but well into the days of Atlantis. A curious fact
21:28
Speaker 1: to note is that when the race first attained the
21:31
Speaker 1: power of standing and moving in an upright position, they
21:34
Speaker 1: could walk backwards with almost as great ease as forwards.
21:38
Speaker 1: This may be accounted for not only by the capacity
21:41
Speaker 1: for a vision possessed by the third eye, but doubtless
21:44
Speaker 1: also by the curious projection at the heels, which will
21:48
Speaker 1: presently be referred to. Description of Limorian man. The following
21:54
Speaker 1: is a description of a man who belonged to one
21:57
Speaker 1: of the.
21:57
Speaker 2: Later sub races, probably the fifth quote.
22:00
Speaker 1: His stature was gigantic, somewhere between twelve and fifteen feet.
22:05
Speaker 1: His skin was very dark, being of a yellowish brown color.
22:09
Speaker 1: He had a long lower jaw, a strangely flattened face,
22:13
Speaker 1: eyes small but piercing, and sat curiously far apart, so
22:17
Speaker 1: that he could see sideways as well as in front,
22:20
Speaker 1: while the eye at the back of the head, on
22:23
Speaker 1: which part of the head no hair, of course, grew,
22:25
Speaker 1: enabled him to see in that direction. Also, he had
22:28
Speaker 1: no forehead, but there seemed to be a roll of
22:31
Speaker 1: flesh where it should have been. The head sloped backwards
22:35
Speaker 1: and upwards in a rather curious way. The arms and legs,
22:39
Speaker 1: especially the former, were longer in proportion than ours, and
22:43
Speaker 1: could not be perfectly straightened either at elbows or knees.
22:47
Speaker 1: The hands and feet were enormous, and the heels projected
22:50
Speaker 1: backwards in an ungainly way. The figure was draped in
22:53
Speaker 1: a loose robe of skin, something like rhinocerous hide, but
22:57
Speaker 1: more scaly, probably the skin of some animal of which
23:01
Speaker 1: we now know only through its fossil remains. Round his head,
23:05
Speaker 1: on which the hair was quite short, was twisted another
23:08
Speaker 1: piece of skin, to which were attached tussls of bright red,
23:12
Speaker 1: blue and other colors. In his left hand he held
23:16
Speaker 1: a sharpened staff, which was doubtless used for defense or attack.
23:20
Speaker 1: It was about the height of his own body, namely
23:23
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen feet. In his right hand was twisted
23:28
Speaker 1: the end of a long rope made of some sort
23:30
Speaker 1: of creeping plant, by which he led a huge and
23:33
Speaker 1: hideous reptile somewhat resembling the plesiocerous. The Lamurians actually domesticated
23:40
Speaker 1: these creatures and strained them to employ their strength in
23:43
Speaker 1: hunting other animals. The appearance of the man gave an
23:47
Speaker 1: unpleasant sensation, but he was not entirely uncivilized, being an
23:51
Speaker 1: average commonplace specimen of his day. Many were even less
23:56
Speaker 1: human in appearance than the individual here described, but the
24:00
Speaker 1: seventh sub rays developed a superior type, though very unlike
24:05
Speaker 1: any living man of the present time. While retaining the
24:08
Speaker 1: projecting lower jaw, the thick, heavy lips, the flattened face,
24:12
Speaker 1: and the uncanny looking eyes, they had by this time
24:16
Speaker 1: developed something which might be called a forehead. While the
24:19
Speaker 1: curious projection of the heel had been considerably reduced. In
24:23
Speaker 1: one branch of the seventh sub rays, the head might
24:26
Speaker 1: be described as almost egg shaped, the small end of
24:29
Speaker 1: the egg being uppermost, with the eyes wide apart and
24:32
Speaker 1: very near the top. The stature had perceptibly decreased, and
24:37
Speaker 1: the appearance of the hands, feet, and leambs generally had
24:41
Speaker 1: become more like those of the Negroes of to day.
24:44
Speaker 1: These people developed an important and long lasting civilization and
24:48
Speaker 1: for thousands of years dominated most of the other tribes
24:51
Speaker 1: who dwelt on the vastly Murreine continent, and even at
24:54
Speaker 1: the end when racial decay seemed to be overtaking them,
24:58
Speaker 1: they secured another long leaves of life and power by
25:01
Speaker 1: intermarriage with their more hulls. The first sub rays of
25:04
Speaker 1: the Atlanteans. The progeny, while retaining many third race characteristics,
25:09
Speaker 1: of course, really belonged to the fourth race, and thus
25:13
Speaker 1: naturally acquired fresh power of development. Their general appearance now
25:18
Speaker 1: became not unlike that of some American Indians, except that
25:21
Speaker 1: their skin had a curious bluish tinge not now to
25:25
Speaker 1: be seen. But surprising, as were the changes in the size, consistency,
25:30
Speaker 1: and appearance of man's body during this period, the alterations
25:33
Speaker 1: in the process of reproduction are still more astounding. A
25:37
Speaker 1: reference to the systems which now obtain among the lower
25:40
Speaker 1: kingdoms of nature may help us in the consideration
25:43
Speaker 2: Of the subject and of Section eight.
