THE PASSIONS & PERILS OF NATIONHOOD
EOR sheer and pervasive fervor, the love of nationhood
has no equal among contemporary political passions.
Independence is the fetish, fad and totem of the times.
Everybody who can muster a quorum in a colony wants
Freedom Now�and such is the temper of the age that they
can usually have it. Roughly one-third of the world, some
1 billion people, have run up their own flags in the great
dismantlement of empires since World War II, creating 60
new nations over the face of the earth. In the process they
have also created, for themselves and for the world, a
congeries of unstable and uneasy entities that are usually
kept alive only by economic aid and stand constantly on the
�
verge of erupting into turmoil. Nationhood is not an easy art
to master, as Ghana, Nigeria and Indonesia have painfully
learned in recent weeks.
Their troubles are particularly instructive, for most of
the world's new nations do not have anything approaching
even the modest resources of Ghana, Nigeria or Indonesia.
Most of them are poor, primitive and ill-equipped for so
much as the basics of nationhood. Some have capital cities
that are not cities at all and government ministers who have
not learned to administer. Government, in fact, is usually
the biggest, and sometimes the only, industry in many new
countries�and corruption is a way of life. Many of the new
nations do not have minimal communications and transpor-
tation, or enough educated men to fill a new country's needs.
In some cases, arbitrary national boundaries cut across
ethnic groups, mock the rational use of resources, and defy
any foreseeable hope of achieving distinct national identity.
Because it bears the heaviest legacy of colonialism, Africa
teems with more new nation afflictions than anywhere else.
But the problem of nations that are really not nations by
any reasonable standards is worldwide: Latin America has
British Guiana, which wants to go its own way on a shoe-
string; the Middle East has Yemen. Asia has its Laos and
its Maldive Islands, neither of which makes much sense as
a nation. In a different but equally difficult category is
Pakistan, bigger and more populous than the others but
separated into two parts by 1,000 miles of unfriendly land.
Heritage & Revolution
The problem is going to get worse long before it gets
better. More new non-nations are waiting impatiently in the
wings; Bechuanaland, Basutoland, British Guiana and Mauri-
tius are all due to become independent this year, and Swazi-
land and South Arabia will follow soon afterward. Britain's
Lord Caradon recently reported to the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly that 50 colonial territories still remained to
be freed around the world-31 in the British Empire alone.
Since, in general, the weakest and least viable colonies are
the last to be turned loose, the prospect is staggering. All
of them, of course, soon apply for membership in the United
Nations, where their equal voting power with such big na-
tions as the U.S. and Russia has caused a whole new set of
problems. This incongruous situation has moved Secretary-
General U Thant to suggest that perhaps the U.N. might
want to reconsider its criteria for admission in view of what
he tactfully called "the recent phenomenon of the emer-
gence of exceptionally small new states." Former U.N. offi-
cial and Columbia University Dean Andrew Cordier puts
it much more bluntly: "The concept of nationhood will be
extended to absurdity," he says, if what he calls the "micro-
states" become full-fledged nations.
What constitutes a nation? Among political scientists, def-
initions differ. Johns Hopkins' Dr. Vernon McKay says that
"a nation is a group ot people who have a feeling of nation-
hood, based on common historical tradition, common cul-
tural interests and, usually, common language." Rutgers Pro-
fessor Neil McDonald suggests that the measure of a nation
is "its capacity to maintain some kind of autonomy�politi-
cal and economic�against its environment." The most sen-
sible test of a nation's viability would seem to be economic
sufficiency: the ability to support its people without massive
outside aid. Such is not the case nowadays. Many statesmen
and political scientists believe, in fact, that the whole idea of
a "viable nation" is a 19th century concept that is no longer
applicable. "Logic and nationalism rarely commingle," says
University of Chicago's William Polk. "Nations don't go out
of business in the 20th century just because of their appar-
ent logical absurdity." The great postwar proliferation of
such international agencies as the U.N. and the international
development banks, the competition for loyalties in the cold
war and, above all, the staying power of foreign aid practi-
cally ensure survival for any nation that wins independence,
however great its problems. Anyone with half a chance gets
a whole chance, as evidenced by the nearly $7 billion doled
out to the new nations from the industrialized West and
$500 million each year from the Communist bloc.
. Furthermore, no one seriously questions the right of peo-
ples to become nations, or suggests that they lapse into co-
lonialism. Ever since Woodrow Wilson, self-determination
has been the dominant political philosophy of the 20th cen-
tury. The problem is, though, that right does not necessarily
make might. In order to progress beyond mere survival, the
new nations need a measure of economic heft and political
substance, a chance to make sense in the long run by matur-
ing into nations worthy of the name. Far too many of them
raise their flags with little but a flagpole to go on. Consid-
ering only their economic demerits, World Bank President
George Woods has estimated that 30 of the world's under-
developed nations are at least "generations" away from any-
thing resembling self-sustenance.
If today's world map looks like a conglomerate glob of
silly putty, smashed by a hammer and stuck together again,
it is because the new nations are in large part literally and
lineally the heirs of their colonial history. Physically, they
are artifacts of 19th century imperialism's division of the
spoils, confined within arbitrary frontiers contrived by co-
lonial mapmakers. Psychologically, they are the heirs of
Europe's own fierce nationalism, which fueled the race for
empire. As 19th century British Philosopher Walter Bagehot
observed, political man is a highly imitative animal. The sub-
jugated peoples of the empires resented and rejected colonial-
ism, but they assimilated and accepted much of its trappings,
casting about for the same status symbols that their masters
had. This deep psychological need to cut the figure of na-
tionhood for all to see is responsible for the imposing gov-
ernment palaces, the parliamentary maces, the conspicuous
Rolls-Royces, . the Western-run "national" airlines and the
gleaming chancelleries that exist in many young nations that
can hardly afford to print money on their own.
An Exhausting Task
The new nations are created so quickly and usually with
such a lack of rational preparation that they spawn problems
never faced by most of the older countries, which evolved
their own nationhoods over centuries. The empire builders,
for example, never were lashed by the obligation to improve
the standard of living of those they ruled. Today the leaders
of a new nation are soon in trouble if they do not do so�
visibly and dramatically. They confront not one but several
revolutions at once�political, economic, social, technologi-
cal�and are thereby called on to make choices that West-
ern statesmen never had to make. The evidence of how dif-
ficult those choices are, and of how unprepared the new na-
tions are to make them, is everywhere at hand.
Simply getting a country in business at all can be a formi-
dable task. Mauritania, for example, is practically a movable

ly recovered. The fourth bomb was still
missing. Though the bombs were un-

shields, the U.S. was understandably
anxious to get them all back. To that
end, seven hundred U.S. airmen, sol-
diers, civilian technicians and Spanish
troops were scouring a ten-sq.-mi. coast-
al area near Palomares, and 16 ships�
including three deep-sea subs�were
combing the ocean floor. All they turned
up were 200 chunks of metal, ranging
from one of the aircraft's latrines to an
old man-o'-war cannon ball.
In Madrid and Washington, the two
governments revealed that only one of
the three recovered bombs had actually
survived the fall intact. Some of the
TNT detonators on the other two had
exploded on impact and ruptured the
shell casing, permitting some radioac-
tive plutonium and uranium to scatter
over 18 acres in the impact area. How-
ever, there was no cause for alarm,
Spain's Nuclear Energy Board quickly
assured. Of the 2,000 "potentially ex-
posed" people in the area, 1,800 had
been examined thus far, and none had
received a dangerous dose. What is
more, added the board, "there is not
the slightest risk in eating meat, fish,
mato plants and made plans to ship
them back to a radioactive-waste dump
in Aiken, S.C., for diplomatic burial.
As for the bomb that was still miss-
ing, the searchers seemed prepared to
continue the hunt indefinitely. Was there
a chance its radioactive contents were
leaking into Spain's coastal waters?
With Spain's big tourist season about
to begin, it was a horrifying thought.
U.S. Ambassador Angier Biddle Duke's
duty was clear. To prove the safety
of Spanish shores, he made a date
with Spain's Information and Tourism
Minister to take a chilly 59� F. Med-
iterranean dip this week�with their

biggest surprise. Britain, said Callaghan,
would switch from the traditional
pounds, shillings and pence to decimal
currency in 1971. By now the Tories
were in full cry. "An uproarious farce,"
shouted Conservative Leader Ted
Heath. "The government is bereft of
ideas and fuddy-duddy." Wilson buried
his head in mock despair and nearly fell
off the bench laughing. Above the roar,
Economics Minister George Brown
could be heard shouting, "We're on our

Indeed they were. Only the day be-
fore, the Prime Minister had done what
his party had hoped he would. Capitaliz-
ing on the average Briton's unparalleled
prosperity and Labor's soaring populari-
ty, he called a general election for March
31. The Gallup poll forecast that Wilson
would win a 165-seat majority in the
630-seat House. London bookies made
Labor a 6-to-1 favorite.
Of course, a landslide victory had
also been forecast for Harold Wilson's
Laborites 17 months ago. Instead, they
barely broke 13 years of Tory rule,
taking office with only a five-seat ma-
8606
jority�a margin that now stands at P,
mere three. In that election, Wilson's
fortunes had not been helped by his rep-
utation as the voice of Labor's left and
as a scheming opportunist. Labor's cur-
rent confidence is largely the result of
Wilson's emergence as something far
different.

son has proved to be a man of the mid-

liberalized the national health-insurance
scheme, and instituted long-range na-
tional economic planning. But the steel
industry has not been nationalized. He

any Conservative would have dared,

dared to defend the pound with the sim-
ple old-fashioned remedy of deflating
demand at home. Defying his own anti-
war left wing, Wilson has consistently
�often brilliantly�defended the U.S.
position in Viet Nam. Refusing to be
frightened into precipitate action on
Rhodesia, he hopes that economic sanc-
tions ultimately will resolve the rebellion
without bloodshed.
As never before, Britons are expected
to vote more for the national party
leader and less for the local M.P. If
they do this, Labor may indeed be a
shoo-in. Since last July's bitter fight for
leadership, Heath has failed either to
unite the Tories or capture the imagina-
tion of the British electorate. On some
social issues he has moved to the right,
not exactly a vote-getting position. Wil-
son, by contrast, has become the very
model of a middle-ground politician�
homely accent, rumpled, and witty. Still,
he refuses to be overly optimistic about
the election. How big a majority did he
seek, asked a television interviewer.
"Just more than three," replied Wilson
earnestly.

country, whose Moorish nomads wander after water in
passportless circles through neighboring Mali and Algeria.
Since every country must have a capital, Mauritania had to
build one from scratch: Nouakchott (pop. 8,000), a clump
of pastel cubes on a bleak stretch of sand dunes near the
coast. In Laos, there are so few trained government elite�
about 100 in all�that Cabinet making is essentially a game
of musical chairs. Ethnic vivisection abounds nearly every-
where. The Somali peoples are split up among Ethiopia,
Somalia, Kenya and French Somaliland; the Bas-Congo
tribe is found in three nations, the Sawaba tribe in four.
The reverse can be true as well: Laos, Nigeria and the
Sudan, among others, are continuously rent by warring tribes
that are unnaturally confined inside the same country.
Once in business, a new nation must establish embassies
around the globe and send a mission to the U.N.�tasks that
frequently exhaust both their finances and talent. Occasion-
ally a new nation admits that it just cannot afford the over-
head; although it is a U.N. member, Gambia has no U.N.
mission, told the Assembly it might not be able to afford the
minimum annual U.N. club fee of $40,000. The Maldive
Islands near Ceylon are so poor that the U.N. must forward
their mail through the Maldivian Philatelic Agency, located
in Manhattan down the street from Macy's. Rwanda Presi-
dent Gregoire Kayibanda's chief government handicap is
even more serious: he has no telephone in his palace in
Kigali. Periodically he sends a minister driving off to neigh-
boring Uganda to find out what is happening in the world.
Rwanda is, however, progressing; until recently, it had only
a barter economy based on cows. National pride also engen-
ders pretensions as well as problems. Impoverished Da-
homey boasts a $6,000,000 Presidential residence that is
larger than Buckingham Palace. Mauritania has a Directo-
rate of Forests and Waters, though it has no forests and
precious little water. Upper Volta refers to its single quarter-
mile of dual highway as the Champs Elysees.
The Fabric of Corruption
Such strutting at government often goes hand in hand with
virulent corruption and an Old Boy monopoly of govern-
ment jobs. In many countries in both Africa and Asia, every
job from minister down to doorman is considered a sinecure
to be purchased. Corruption is so much a companion of
nationhood in some countries that it has become an integral
part of the fabric of government. When the army took over
in Nigeria in January, they found that Finance Minister
Okotie-Eboh had arbitrarily raised tariffs to protect his own
private shoe factory, and for a price was willing to do the
same for others. One Laotian general on a salary of $250 a
month supported his family and 32 relatives in style�all in
the same house�by letting opium smugglers use army trucks
and planes to move the stuff. A record of sorts was set by
Burma's first, Minister of Commerce and Industry, whose
industriousness at graft netted him $800,000 in government
funds before independence was yet a year old.
With pomp and flummery piled atop economic and eth-
nic chaos, democracy inevitably has a hard time. Though
nearly all began by being governed in mufti, some dozen
of the new postwar nations are now ruled by their military
establishments. More and more, the military-officer corps
plays the role of constitutional monarchy with emergency
power. In the past nine months, seven African nations have
been taken over by the military. "It is these men," says
Gabriel Almond, president of the American Political Science
Association, "who are initially most appalled at the signs
of corruption and breakdown." New-nation armies by and
large are not only the most honest, disciplined and organized
elite in their countries but, paradoxically, the most demo-
cratic force around.
In the wake of the latest round of coups, Lord Caradon
worried aloud that "people are going to say: 'These misera-
ble little places should never have been allowed to exist.'
They are going to reject these nations with disgust. That
would be a bloody disaster." Nations have to begin some-
how; occasionally just plain good luck comes along to give
them a boost. A few years ago, feudal Libya was written off
as a hopeless non-nation�until oil was fi
neath the deserts. Barren Mauritania may

the Dominican Republic�and there is not
their situation will improve. On the other hat
country like Switzerland, divided into severa
guage and custom, is proof that some fairly dit
to nationhood can be surmounted.
A Safety Net
Today's new states are born into a large and particularly
complicated world. One of its complications is, of course,
the cold war rivalry, which so far has worked to the new
nations' advantage by providing two competitive founts of
aid. "The bipolar power structure provides," says Harvard's
Joseph Nye, "a safety net underneath these nations as they
play on their tightrope." If ever the U.S. and the Soviet
Union get together and agree on spheres of influence, how-
ever, the new nations may find themselves with no net to fall
into; in the interim, they had better acquire some bounce.
The 20th century's other complications do not help either.
The non-nations find themselves small and technologically
blighted in a world that is fast integrating its trade and in-
creasing its industrial and scientific prowess. Most of them
simply cannot get up the ante to enter the race, let alone run
the course on their meager human and natural resources.
There is always the prospect of neo-imperialism, in which
the stronger new nations would take over the weaker, but
the votes and voices of other small nations in the U.N. are
a deterrent to such country grabbing.
Probably the most sensible way in which the new nations
can improve their lot is by forming federations: getting to-
gether to face common problems and opportunities while
maintaining a healthy measure of separate identity. Eco-
nomic federation is certainly the most promising form at the
moment, despite some early failures. What English Econo-
mist Barbara Ward calls "technocratic federations" are like-
ly to sprout in the future�and the young nations should
begin planning how and when they can form and join them.
This would happily preserve their proud national preroga-
tives while offering the benefits of a large economic mass and
a sharing of modern technology. The Central American
Common Market has demonstrated what economic associa-
tion can do for underdeveloped countries: in five years it has
more than trebled the trade of its five members and set their
economies to humming. LAFTA�the Latin American Free
Trade Area�is finally beginning to move, and Britain is
pushing its West Indian territories toward an economic feder-
ation as the price of freedom. The Central African Republic,
Chad and Cameroun have formed a small common market.
Farther down the road is the prospect of political federa-
tion. So far, it has proved an unsuccessful experiment, tor-
pedoed in several instances by prickly national and even
tribal sensitivities and by the fear of bureaucrats that co-
operation would eliminate duplication of ministries�and
hence their jobs. Though it is a geographical entity, for exam-
ple, Africa suffers from such deep and profound differences
as to make it seem like a collection of different worlds. More-
over, there are no African, Asian or Latin American coun-
tries today that show much interest in revising their borders
or totally merging with other nations. Still, given the number
and the weaknesses of new nations, the possibility of future
political federations is a real one. In the long view of history,
after the passion of nationalism has cooled, after the ado-
lescence of the underdeveloped countries succumbs to ma-
turity, some form of union may be the answer to many of
the problems of today's young nations. Some day there could
even be something like a United States of Africa. The new
nations�powerless, bothersome and somewhat bizarre as
many of them seem�will continue to proliferate for a long
time. It seems inevitable that, at some point, the flow will
have to be reversed, bringing to federations of small nations
the stature in world affairs to which at present they can
only vainly aspire.

With a rumble so low as to be inaudible, growing,
throbbing, then fuming into a thundering roar, the
earthquake starts only it's not like any earthquake
in recorded history.
In California the mountains shake like ferns in a
breeze; the mighty Pacific rears back and piles up into
a mountain of water more than two miles high, then
starts its race eastward.
With the force of a thousand armies the wind
attacks, ripping, shredding everything in its supersonic
bombardment. The unbelievable mountain of Pacific sea-
water follows the wind eastward, burying Los Angeles
and San Francisco as if they were but grains of sand.
Nothing - but nothing - stops the relentless, over-
whelming onslaught of wind and ocean.
Across the continent the thousand mile-per-hour
wind wreaks its unholy vengeance, everywhere, merci-
lessly, unceasingly. Every living thing is ripped into
shreds while being blown across the countryside; and the
earthquake leaves no place untouched. In many places
the earth's molten sub-layer breaks through and spreads
a sea of white-hot liquid fire to add to the holocaust.
Within three hours the fantastic wall of water moves
across the continent, burying the wind-ravaged land
under two miles of seething water coast-to-coast. In a
fraction of a day all vestiges of civilization are gone, and
the great cities - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago,
Dallas, New York - are nothing but legends. Barely a
stone is left where millions walked just a few hours
before.
A few lucky ones who manage to find shelter from
the screaming wind on the lee side of Pike's Peak watch
the sea of molten fire break through the quaking valleys
below. The raging waters follow, piling higher and
higher, steaming over the molten earth-fire, and rising

almost to their feet. Only great mountains such as this
one can withstand the cataclysmic onslaught.
North America is not alone in her death throes.
Central America suffers the same cannonade - wind,
earth-fire, and inundation.
South America finds the Andes not high enough
to stop the cataclysmic violence pounded out by nature
in her berserk rage. In less than a day, Ecuador, Peru, and
western Brazil are shaken madly by the devastating
earthquake, burned by molten earth-fire, buried under
cubic miles of torrential Pacific seas, and then turned
into a frozen hell. Everything freezes. Man, beast, plant,
and mud are all rock-hard in less than four hours.
Europe cannot escape the onslaught. The raging
Atlantic piles higher and higher upon itself, following
the screeching wind eastward. The Alps, Pyrennes,
Urals, and Scandinavian mountains are shaken and
heaved even higher before the wall of water strikes.
Western Africa and the sands of the Sahara vanish
in nature's wrath, under savage attack by wind and
ocean. The area bounded by the Congo, South Africa,
and Kenya suffers only severe earthquakes and winds -
no inundation. Survivors there marvel at the Sun, stand-
ing still in the sky for nearly half a day.
Eastern Siberia and the Orient suffer a strange
fate indeed - as though a giant subterranean scythe
sweeps away the earth's foundations, accompanied by
the wind in its screaming symphony of supersonic death
and destruction. As the Arctic basin leaves its polar
home, eastern Siberia, Manchuria, China, and Burma are
subjected to the same annihilation as South America:
wind, earth-fire, inundation, and freezing. Jungle ani-
mals are shredded to ribbons by the wind, piled into
mountains of flesh and bone, and buried under ava-
lanches of seawater and mud. Then comes the terrible,
paralyzing cold. Not man, nor beast, nor plant, nor

earth is left unfrozen in the entire eastern Asian conti-
nent, most of which remains below sea level.
East of the Urals, in western Siberia, a few lucky
people survive the fantastic winds and quakes.
Antarctica and Greenland, with their ice caps, now
rotate around the earth in the Torrid Zone; and the
fury of wind and inundation marches on for six days
and nights. During the sixth day the oceans start to
settle in their new homes, running off the high grounds.
On the seventh day the horrendous rampage is over.
The Arctic ice age is ended - and a new stone age begins.
The oceans - the great homogenizers - have laid down
another deep layer of mud over the existing strata in
the great plains, as exposed in the Grand Canyon, Painted
Desert, and Badlands.
The Bay of Bengal basin, just east of India, is now
at the North Pole. The Pacific Ocean, just west of Peru,
is at the South Pole. Greenland and Antarctica, now
rotating equatorially in the Torrid Zone, find their ice
caps dissolving madly in the tropical heat. Massive walls
of water and ice surge toward the oceans, taking every-
thing - from mountains to plains - in gushing, heaving
paths, creating immense seasonal moraines. In less than
twenty-five years the ice caps are gone, and the oceans
around the world rise over two hundred feet with the
new-found water. The Torrid Zone will be shrouded in
a fog for generations from the enormous amounts of
moisture poured into the atmosphere by the melting
ice caps.
New ice caps begin to form in the new polar areas.
Greenland and Antarctica emerge with verdant, trop-
ical foliage. Australia is the new, unexplored continent
in the North Temperate Zone, with only a few handfuls
of survivors populating its vastness. New York lies at
the bottom of the Atlantic, shattered, melted by earth-
5

fire, and covered by unbelievable amounts of mud. Of
San Francisco and Los Angeles, not a trace is left.
Egypt emerges from its Mediterranean inundation
new and higher - still the land of the ages. The com-
monplace of our time becomes the mysterious Baalbek
of the new era.
A new era! Yes, the cataclysm has done its work
well. The greatest population regulator of all does once
more for man what he refuses to do for himself, and
drives the pitiful few who survive into a new stone age.
Once more the earth has shifted its 6o-mile thick
shell, with the poles moving almost to the equator in a
fraction of a day. Again the atmosphere and oceans,
refusing to change direction with the earth's shell, have
wiped out almost all life.
After this tumble we join Noah, Adam and Eve,
Atlantis, Mu, and Olympus - and Jesus joins Osiris,
Ta'aroa, Zeus, and Vishnu.

Noah? Adam and Eve? Vishnu? Osiris? What do
they have in common? They represent eras ages apart �
and yet, somehow, they all join hands in the next cata-
clysm, and walk with us.
There are others who walk with us, too: men of
science � long forgotten � those who first saw that
these tumbles, these cataclysmic catastrophes, or "revo-
lutions" of the earth's shell have happened before, count-
less times. J. Andre DeLuc in 1779 and Georges Cuvier
in 1812 were the foremost. Dolomieu, the famous min-
eralogist, joined the consensus, as did Escher and Forel,
the Swiss geologists; also J. Andre DeLuc Jr., and
Von Buch. They all agreed that the cataclysms were
caused by sudden revolutions of the surface of the earth.
Cuvier, in his "Theory of the Earth," first published
in 1812, based his conclusions on his unparalleled correla-
tive research in stratigraphy, comparative anatomy, and
palaeontology. At that time he wrote: "Every part of
the earth, every hemisphere, every continent, exhibits
the same phenomenon. . . . There has, therefore, been
a succession of variations in the economy of organic
nature . . . the various catastrophes which have disturbed
the strata . . . have given rise to numerous shiftings of this
(continental) basin. . . . It is of much importance to
mark, that these repeated irruptions and retreats of the
sea have neither been slow nor gradual; on the contrary,
most of the catastrophes which occasioned them have
been sudden; and this is especially easy to be proved, with
regard to the last of these catastrophes. . . . I agree, there-
fore, with MM. DeLuc and Dolomieu, in thinking, that
if anything in geology be established, it is, that the surface
of our globe has undergone a great and sudden revolution,
the date of which . . . cannot be . . . much earlier than
five or six thousand years ago . . . (also) , one preceding
revolution at least had put (the continents) under
water . . . perhaps two or three irruptions of the sea."

"These alternations now appear to me to form the
problem in geology that it is of most importance to
solve . . . in order to solve it satisfactorily, it would be
necessary to discover the cause of these events. . . . These
ideas have haunted, I may almost say have tormented
me, during my researches among fossil bones. . . researches
which embrace but a very small part of those phenomena
of the age preceding the last general revolution of the
globe, and which are yet intimately connected with all
the others. . . ."
Many attempts have been made to answer the charge
made to the geological profession by Cuvier to explain
these sudden revolutions. Among others, Velikovsky tried
it through his study of myths and legends; Hapgood tried
it; Brown attempted, and in the process amassed a tre-
mendous library of geological data.
Every time the cataclysmic concept has come to life,
the "beast" has been stoned, burned at the stake, beaten
to a pulp, and buried with a vengeance; but the corpse
simply won't stay dead. Each time, it raises the lid of its
coffin and says in sepulchral tones: "You will die before I."
The latest of the challengers is Prof. Frank C. Hibben,
who in his book,' "The Lost Americans," said:
(C. . . . This was no ordinary extinction of a vague
geological period which fizzled to an uncertain end. This
death was catastrophic and all inclusive. . . . What caused
the death of forty million animals. . . . The "corpus
delicti" in this mystery may be found almost anywhere.
. . . Their bones lie bleaching in the sands of Florida and
in the gravels of New Jersey. They weather out of the
dry terraces of Texas and protrude from the sticky ooze
of the tar pits off Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. . . .
The bodies of the victims are everywhere. . . . We find
literally thousands together . . . young and old, foal with
dam, calf with cow. . . . The muck pits of Alaska are

mammoth, mastodon . . . bison, horses, wolves, bears, and
lions. . . . A faunal population . . . in the middle of some

Fantastic winds; volcanic burning; inundation and
burial in muck; preservation by deep-freeze. "Any good
solution to a consuming mystery must answer all of the
facts," challenges Hibben.
The challenge wouldn't leave me alone. Like a
hunger, it gnawed at my subconscious. I could hear the
deep tones of Cuvier's challenge, "find the cause of these
events," still reverberating through the sacred halls of
science, ghostly, unanswered. I felt Hibben's challenge
later on, prodding: ". . . answer all of the facts." I de-
cided that this cataclysmic concept, this catastrophic
end which seems to visit our planet time after time,
needed verification or refutation once and for all.
The first step was to gather all of the known, ac-
cepted data from as many "earth" sciences as possible:
stratigraphy, archaeology, anthropology, palaeontology,
radiology, oceanography, seismology, glaciology, and many
other fields. Correlation of the data between the sciences
gave the answer: although there is enough data in each
science to indicate that these cataclysms happen, there
was not enough to prove the concept; but between-science
correlation showed indeed that the concept was true. Not
only did it verify that the events have happened, but dis-
closed when the last five cataclysms were, and what posi-
11

Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
tions the shell of the Earth has been in for the last 35,000
years.
So, after years of research, beginning in 1949,
Cuvier's challenge had an answer: Yes, indeed the cata-
clysms do happen. And the last one, 6,5oo years ago,
was Noah's Flood!
All right. So they happen; what is it that happens
each time? The challenge was really two-fold: Find the
process � what happens in a cataclysm; and the trig-
ger � what causes a cataclysm to start.
What a chase! And what a dramatic story of the
earth's history we uncovered: Civilizations of 20,000
years ago more advanced than our wildest imagination;
prehistoric legends from Greece, Egypt, India, and South
America which became history instead of legend; lost
continents in the Atlantic and Pacific which became
dated realities, with logical reasons for their sudden dis-
appearance.
Yes, Vishnu came alive: a man who lived through
a cataclysm 70,000 years before our time � actually ten
cataclysms ago! Now he is known as the Hindu god of
ten resurrections from the waters. Osiris, too, was re-
discovered; he was the Jesus of his time � a man of
Egypt, some 15,000 years ago. Noah smiled at us from
the pages of the "Epic of Gilgamesh"; he actually was
a Sumerian named Utnapishtim, who lived 6,5oo years
ago. The ark he built is more than legend.
The process of a cataclysm is known now.
Look at the cross-section of the Earth inside the
front cover. You'll see two molten layers � the orange
ones. The important one is the thin molten layer about
6o miles thick, which is between 6o and 120 miles down,
below the surface of the earth. The thick, deep molten
layer, starting 1800 miles down at the bottom of the
mantle, and extending 1300 miles deeper, is the outer core.
12

Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
Now both molten layers are liquid; however, the
inner magnetic and electrical structure of the Earth
makes these layers act as if they were near solid, or
plastic. As long as the magnetic and electrical structure
maintains its orderliness, this old earth keeps on rotating
on its axis in a normal manner.
The growing ice caps � Antarctica and Green-
land � are not centered on the earth's axis; and, be-
cause they rotate around the poles, are trying to swing
down to the equator. The only way they could do it
would be to pull the whole 6o-mile thick shell around
with them. As long as the shallow molten layer stays
plastic, the shell won't shift; but once every few thou-
sand years the magnetic and electrical orderliness inside
the Earth is disrupted, and the molten layer is allowed
to act like a free liquid, which it was all the time anyway.
It then serves as a lubricant for the ice caps to pull the
shell of the earth around the inside.
In 1/4 to 1/2 a day the poles move almost to the
equator, and all hell lets loose. The atmosphere and oceans
don't shift with the shell � they just keep on rotating
West to East � and at the equator that speed is i000
miles per hour. It has to be, normally, to make one
rotation per day. So, while the shell shifts with the poles
going toward the equator, the winds and oceans go east-
ward, blowing across the face of the earth with super-
sonic speeds, inundating continents with water miles
deep.
Now what about the trigger? This turned out to
be the most elusive piece of the whole puzzle. We couldn't
rely on some supernatural explanation �like sometime
happenings in the heavens of a vague character which
actually violated the laws of nature; no, it had to be
something natural, a part of nature's ordinary structure,
which disrupts the Earth's inner electrical and magnetic
structure whenever it happens.

We once thought that Sun spots could be the cause,
because they do disrupt the earth's inner electrical and
magnetic structure; but we were wrong.
We found out that "nature's power plant" is a
motor-generator system existing in many different mag-
nitudes. It's a basic structure of the universe. The energy
structure of an atom is identical to a rotating planet;
to a blue,white star; to a galaxy; to a supergalaxy; to
all levels of supergalaxies including a universe and even
more. As a neutron which has escaped from its parent
atom's neutral zone will separate into particles, a star �
through a sunspot � gives off neutral matter which
explodes as it becomes energized; so a galaxy gives birth
to an exploding star when a "dead" star escapes from its
neutral zone in the center; and as a "dead" galaxy ex-
plodes when it escapes from the central neutral zone
of its parent supergalaxy. A planet, therefore, must act
the same at its energy level.
So, apparently once every few thousand years neutral
matter escapes from the 86o-mile-radius inner core into
the I300-mile thick molten outer core, and there is a
literal atomic explosion inside the Earth. The explosion
in the high energy layer of the outer core disrupts com-
pletely the electrical and magnetic structure in both the
molten outer core and the outer 6o-mile thick molten
layer. Finally the ice caps are allowed to pull the shell
of the earth around the interior, with the shallow molten
layer lubricating the shift all the way.
You can see, then, that ice ages are not a matter of
advancing and retreating ice; it's simply that different
areas of the Earth are in polar regions at different times,
for different durations of time, with the changes between
positions taking place in a fraction of a day.

It's funny how some things can plague you from child-
hood through your adult years. Not big things, but little
things, which don't exactly persist, but annoyingly stick
their head through your life's door and say "Boo!" just to
let you know they're still there. If I made a list of all these
things in my life it might take up a whole book.
I'd like to talk about just one of these bugaboos. From
the first time I heard the story of the creation and Adam
and Eve, it "buzzed" me, as my young son would say.
Now, to me the answer was not simply one of two usual
alternatives: either unquestioning faith in the story as it
stands, or complete repudiation as utter nonsense.
No, the answer seemed to lie elsewhere. If the story
were taught as the truth so uniformly, in spite of its ap-
parent divergence from scientific truths, then to me the
true course would seem to be a search for the foundation
of the story, which would then lead to a true reading of it.
The pursuit happened almost by accident. Years of
data correlation in studying the earth tumbling concept has
shown the last tumble to have occurred about 6500 years
ago; that Noah, or Utnapishtim, or whatever his name
was, did exist and did survive that particular cataclysm.
A friend of mine suggested that Genesis I is almost a
perfect description of conditions on our planet immedi-
ately following a tumble. On rereading it, I had to agree;
Genesis II even mentions that a mist, or flood, went up
from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
Well, now! This was worth thinking about. If it were
so, then it would be the tumble preceding Noah's (another
fascinating story!) , about 11,500 years ago. This, then
could be approximately the time of the Adam and Eve
story.
The pursuit started. If the story did originate with that
tumble, in what language was it first written? Certainly
not Hebrew or Greek, for as far as we know, they didn't
exist at that time.

If we look to men such as Don Antonio Batres Juarequi
and James Churchward, we may have our answer. Certain-
ly their knowledge of prehistoric languages could be a
key, and later we'll discuss the role of Naga and Ancient
Mayan in the story of Adam and Eve; first, however, let's
examine the history of Genesis I, II, and III.
There are many schools of thought on this subject,
but the most predominant one is that Moses was the origi-
nator. This seems not too far-fetched, since Moses was
reared in the Egyptian tradition, in a royal household, and
probably had access to many religious writings and teach-
ings now lost with the passing of the archives of Egypt,
in Alexandria, Heliopolis, and Sais. Certainly the Ten
Commandments were a condensation of the forty-two
questions of Osiris for entering heaven. If Moses did write
part of the Old Testament, he then must have had Naga
tablet writings, or Egyptian interpretations of them, hand-
ed down to the Egyptians for thousands of years; and the
Egyptian priesthood had knowledge of a cataclysm 11,500
years ago. Priests of Egypt are supposed to have told Solon
during his ten years in Egypt (about 600 B.C.) that 9,000
years before that time there was a cataclysm which buried
Atlantis beneath the ocean. Note that 9,000 + 600 B.C. +
1950 A.D. equals 11,550 years ago.
Moses' brother, Aaron, became the first chief priest
of the Hebrews about 1300 B.C. Somewhere between 15
and 18 generations later, the chief priesthood having been
handed down father-son through the generations, Seraiah
(or Seraias) was the chief priest (See Ezra, and 1 and 2
Ezdras) In 586 B.C., in the 19th year of Nebuchadnez-
zar's reign, Seraiah was taken and executed, and his son
Ezra made a captive in Persia (see 2 Kings) . At that time,
Jerusalem was sacked, and all Hebrew records including
their laws and records of the Old Testament were burned
with the temple at Jerusalem, by Nebuza-adan, Nebuch-
adnezzar's captain of the guard.

In 458 B.C., during the seventh year of Artaxerxes I's
reign in Persia, Ezra was commissioned to reestablish the
Hebrew religion and law. According to 2 Ezdras, Ezra
rewrote the history of the Hebrews from the beginning,
and reestablished their laws.
Now, from 586 to 458 B.C. is 128 years. The latest that
Ezra could have been born was after his father Seraiah's
murder, as well could be (see Onan's story, Genesis 38:8-
10) ; therefore, the youngest he could have been in 458
B.C. was 127. He was working on a long memory.
Let's examine this anomaly. As mentioned before, the
lineage from Aaron to Ezra contains from 17 to 20 genera-
tions, including Aaron and Ezra. Assuming (1) 1300 B.C.
for the start of Aaron's priesthood (1290 B.C. is adjudged
the time of the Exodus) ; (2) 458 B.C. to be near the end
of Ezra's priesthood; then we find the average priesthood
term per generation to be between 42.1 and 49.5 years.
In view 3f this, can we believe that Ezra served his priest-
hood for approximately 130 years?
It would appear much more plausible to assume that it
was Ezra's grandfather, Azariah rather than his father
Seraiah, who was the one taken and executed by Nebuch-
adnezzar's men in 586 B.C.. Then Seraiah and Ezra would
have served as chief priests during the 128 years from 586
to 458 B.C., for an average of 64 years apiece. It is even
plausible that Ezra's great-grandfather Helchiah could
have been the victim in 586 B.C., leaving Azariah, Seraiah,
and Ezra to serve the 128 years for an average of 42 years
each, which is even closer to the overall average from Aaron
to Ezra, over a period of about 845 years.
This means that the Adam and Eve story was last seen
in writing by Helchiah or Azariah, therefore handed down
verbally possibly by Azariah, and certainly by Seraiah and
Ezra, and finally dictated by Ezra to five scribes. It is the
five scribes' writings that we have today as Ezra's work.
And the English is not even a literal translation . . . for
instance, "without form and void" more literally would
read "raging inundations and horrendous winds". . .

Now, through Ezra's reconstruction of Genesis, we are
told many things:
1. Because of the usage of "tree", "fruit", "serpent",
"cherubim", and other words which were glyphs in the
picture language of prehistory, it is evident that the Crea-
tion and Adam and Eve stories were probably originally
written in the glyphs of Naga, the predominant Eastern
Hemisphere language of 11,500 years ago. This language
is nearly identical to ancient Mayan, and the progenitor
of many languages, including Oriental and Polynesian
tongues, Egyptian, Greek, and Yakut.
2. Moses (and possibly Aaron) may have had access to
these tablets, or Egyptian versions of them.
3. Neither Moses nor Aaron knew how to read the ancient
language, therefore read the glyphs quite literally.
4. Not being able to read the symbolism of Naga glyphs,
in addition to reading them literally, Moses and Aaron
(and possibly Ezra) read into the Adam and Eve story
the social and religious attitudes of their day. In that time
woman was regarded as the root of all sin, a lowly creature,
her birth recorded only as an exception, and basically being
the cause of man's every downfall�a daily potential. This
attitude persists in some religions even to our time.
Is it any wonder that Eve was shouldered with the
responsibility for the downfall of all mankind, as a result
of interpretations read into the Naga by Moses? And into
Moses' reading by Ezra? Perhaps also it was read into the
story by Egyptian priests long before Moses' time, and
passed on to him as history.
5. The fusing of two stories (P and J versions) into one
to make the story of Genesis I, II, and III may confuse "the
man" with Adam. It is possible that Adam, being only
nine generations ahead of Noah, with the time span of the
Sudan Basin Polar Era covering 5,000 years, was not "the
man" referred to in the creation, but his name and later
experiences were merged with "the man's" story.

Remember, however, we are informed that Ezra dic-
tated the entire history to five scribes from memory, and
this work contains Genesis as we know it today. For him
to recall from the archives of his mind what he did�as
well as he did�certainly bespeaks of inspiration of a high
order; but it also appears evident that he had no knowledge
of the fact that 5,000 years transpired between Genesis I
and Noah's flood. It is clear from 2 Ezdras 3:9 that Genesis
I and Noah's flood represented two inundations, how-
ever, for while speaking of the two occasions, he says of
Noah's flood: "And again in process of time thou brought-
est the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and de-
stroyedst them."
Now, we mentioned before that the lineage of the high
priests from Aaron to Ezra differs in number of genera-
tions (17 or 20) and names as presented in 1 and 2 Ezdras;
and both differ in names from the book of Ezra. We also
find differences in the lineages from Noah to Jesus (ap-
proximately 51 generations) in the Bible. Is it any wonder,
therefore, that some generations could have been omitted
in the Adam to Noah line? And the Aaron to Ezra line?
And in the light of the fact that, in addition to over-
whelming scientific evidence, there are countless legends in
the Asia-Pacific area, handed down from the inundation
of 11,500 years ago, of a creation much like that of Genesis
I and II, is it not possible that "the man" of the Genesis
story became confused with Adam throughout the thou-
sands of years, and through a succeeding tumble and inun-
dation in Noah's time 6500 years ago?
The miracle actually is that the whole story of "crea-
tion", and of Adam and Eve, is as undistorted as it is; being
11,500 years old, it has suffered through many debacles
visited upon its guardians in the intervening years.
Because of the lack of resolving information, "the
man" and Adam are kept as one in this translation-inter-
pretation.

6. The significant Naga glyphs given to us by Ezra
through Moses' direct reading are:
Cherubims Man Fruit
Rib Woman Serpent
Adam's sleep Tree Flaming Sword
Our knowledge of Naga glyphs tells us that the tree
(of life) symbolized a mother continent, a parent civiliza-
tion lasting thousands of years longer than ours of today.
An unadorned serpent represented water, or the ocean;
a serpent entwined about the tree signified that the mother
continent was surrounded by water. Genesis III, 15 ac-
tually describes Eve's heel on the serpent's head, showing
her victory over the oceans.
Cherubims�which were not pretty, plump babies,
but hybrid man and beast�were the glyphs for legs, or
foundations, or underpinnings. Instead of being placed
in the garden of Eden, one was taken away; and a Naga or
Maya reading of the Egyptian Book of the Dead shows that
cherubims of the North, East, South, and West were taken
away�meaning that the foundations of the mother conti-
nent, in all directions, were removed or destroyed.
The flaming sword was the symbol of fire and earth-
quake. The fire signified what all legends of these cata-
clysms call earth-fire, which is the molten layer below the
earth's 60-mile thick shell breaking through to the surface
during a tumble, a literal hell. It is most probably the origin
of man's concept of hell, as a matter of fact.
Now back to the tree: Fruit growing on that tree sym-
bolized the original mankind which settled the mother
continent ages before Adam and Eve. Their eating of the
fruit tells us that they were descended from this original
mankind of the continent. Eve eating first signifies that she
was the generation after Adam, making her his daughter.
His daughter!?

The glyph of the creation is even more revealing. There
are three figures represented in this picture; the top figure
is the face of a sleeping or dead person (there were no
separate symbols for death and sleep in Naga�both were
represented as the same) . The middle figure is shown as a
male, and the bottom figure a female who is represented
as the mother of all mankind. In addition, there are curved
lines from the sleeping or dead person and the male middle
figure to the bottom female figure.
This glyph has been interpreted to mean that the
middle figure, a male, was put to sleep, shown by the top
figure, and a rib (or ribs) removed from him (the ribs
being the curved lines) and fashioned into the bottom
figure, the female mother of all mankind. This fits beau-
tifully with the story of Eve's creation, Adam therefore
being both the male middle figure and the top figure, a
sleeping (or dead) person.
There is a slight hitch to this story, however: the top
figure, whether sleeping or dead, is depicted as a female!
How could it be Adam, asleep, awake, dead, or alive?
Moreover, in Naga the curved lines denote parentage rather
than ribs; so, more reasonably, it appears that the top figure
is a dead female, whose offspring by the male middle figure
(Adam) was the bottom female figure (Eve) , the mother
of the Hebrews.

So, in essence, the story as read from the glyphs would
be that Adam and Eve, who lived in the Garden of Eden
in the mother continent (tree) , were descended from the
original mankind (fruit) of that land, which incidentally
was surrounded entirely by water (serpent around the
tree). Eve was Adam's daughter, and he was a widower.
They realized that, in order to survive, they had to
leave and never try to return, for the motherland was to
be destroyed by a cataclysmic inundation. They left; and
afterward, the continent (tree) was subjected to a fiery
earthquake (flaming sword) , during which it lost its foun-
dations (cherubims), and sank beneath the ocean (ser-
pent) which forever afterward walked over the sunken
continent (on its belly).
So let's review the event�two cataclysms ago�
and then apply our knowledge toward a representative
translation-interpretation of Genesis I, II, and III. It
may be the most accurate reading of a story written
ii,5oo years ago.

Did you ever sit down for an evening at a card table
with a 000-piece puzzle? By yourself? It takes hours and
hours to put it together, doesn't it, with trial, and error,
and patience all playing their parts.
We're still trying out some of the as yet unfitted
pieces in our world-wide puzzle, and we've been "at the
table" since 1949. However, even though incomplete, it
shows us a graphic representation of the earth's picture
ii,5oo years ago.
Look at a globe of the World. Pick out Longitude
9o�W - Latitude 6o�N. This point is in the western part
of the Hudson Bay.
Now hold the globe so that 90�W - 60�N is at the
North Pole, on the axis of rotation. This was the config-
uration of the world between i8,5oo years ago and ii,500
years ago. The North Polar ice cap formed the Laurentian
Basin in Canada.
The continents, however, were not quite the same.
There was a huge continent in the Atlantic Ocean area,
which stretched from Iceland and England across the
Atlantic to the Bahamas. The Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea did not exist - they were land at that time.
There was another continent in the Pacific - covering
an area now ringed by the Hawaiian Islands, the Gala-
pagos, Easter Island, Tahiti, the Solomons, and the Caro-
line Islands.
The Province of Ceylon held the major civilization
of India. Egypt and the Holy Land were thriving mix-
tures of vegetation and civilization.
Greece - land of the Hellenes - was the home of a
tall, blue-eyed, blonde race with standards of science and
law unmatched to this day.
The Amazon Basin was an inland sea - legends call it
the Sea of Xarayes - and the mouth of the Amazon River
31
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
was then a wide, seagoing connection between the Atlantic
and Xarayes. The western coast of South America was not
mountainous - the prehistoric city of Tiahuanaco, Peru,
now at 12,500 feet above the Pacific, was then at sea level.
It was a metropolis seaport, with a canal system for sea-
going ships - as large as any we have today - traversing
from the Pacific to the inland sea.
Astronomers of Tiahuanaco used telescopes like ours
of today; and they had a huge satellite orbiting the earth -
West to East, 449 times per year - which they used as a
time standard, its orbit was so accurate.
Ahoydia, now a suburb of Lucknow, was the capital
of India. And the great navigators, the great scientists,
the great explorers of the eastern hemisphere were the
dark-eyed, dark-haired Mayans.
About ii,5oo years ago - in 9,550 B.C., as dated by
astronomers from Potsdam Observatory from writings in
the ruins of Tiahuanaco - the 60-mile thick shell of the
earth shifted its position once more in 1/4 to 1/2 a day,
7,000 years after the previous shift. The North Pole
moved southward, and the Sudan Basin in Africa shifted
to the North Pole. This was the time which the Talmud
states was the setting of the Pleiades below the horizon,
when the Holy Land was moved into a "region of terrible
cold" for many generations - actually for 5,000 years until
Noah's flood, 6,5oo years ago.
The equatorial pivot points were off the coast of
mid-Chile and in mid-China, near the Yangtze, North
of Viet Nam.
The great continent in the Pacific disappeared almost
completely - what is now Easter Island, then on the edge
of the continent, dropped to remain on the Pacific Ocean
floor for s,000 years - to be heaved up again in the cata-
clysm causing Noah's flood. What remained of the vast
Pacific continent rolled to the South Pole, to be discov-
32
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 005998606
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
ered by Mayan explorers as the last remains of their
motherland - a "frozen reservoir of mud at the bottom
of the earth," millions of square miles in area.
Of the great continent in the Atlantic, only a large
island was left in the West, while the ocean between there
and Gibraltar to the East was left shallow, muddy, and
impassable to ships.
A thread of a clue concerning the great knowledge of
that time came out when Captain Cook discovered the
Polynesian Maori tribe in New Zealand in the uoo's. They
told him of ancient legends of Saturn's rings - and they
hadn't even heard of telescopes. Now you try to see those
rings with your naked eyes - and you'll find out that it's
impossible.
The evidence in Tiahuanaco shows that their great
civilization was wiped out so suddenly that people were
caught in the middle of their normal daytime activities
by catastrophic inundation. Further, evidence shows that
this fabulous city suffered the same fate as Easter Island:
although the Rockies and Andes were started in this cata-
clysm, Tiahuanaco was buried under the Pacific, to remain
there for 5,000 years, then to be heaved up to its present
altitude of 12,500 feet in the last cataclysm 6,5oo years ago.
So the cataclysm of ii,5oo years ago saw the Hudson
Bay and the opposite polar area just southwest of Aus-
tralia both roll to the equator on opposite sides of the
Earth, and the Sudan Basin region roll to the North Pole,
to remain there for the next 5000 years. While this shift
was occurring, taking only 1/4 to 1/2 a day to complete
itself, the earth's oceans and atmosphere, through angular
momentum, kept rotating in their normal direction dur-
ing most of the shift, with the oceans violently inundating
most of the lands of the Earth, and the atmosphere bring-
ing unimaginable hurricanes of up to supersonic wind
velocities. Whole continents were subjected to tremendous
upheavals and earthquakes. The molten layer below the
33

Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
earth's 6o-mile thick shell broke through the shell in places
all over the world, and was thereafter called "earth-fire"
by the pitiful few who survived
The oceans and winds took six days after the start of
the cataclysm to resolve their holocaustic wars on the sur-
face of the earth, and on the seventh day began to settle
down to 5,000 years of normal complacency. The two-
mile thick ice caps of the Laurentian Basin and the Indian
Ocean, having shifted from their polar homes and started
a new course of revolving equatorially, proceeded to melt
at tremendous speeds in the torrid heat, carving great
grooves in the mountains as the rushing, gushing, swirling
water and ice overwhelmed everything in their paths.
The great amounts of moisture being poured into the
atmosphere were to shroud the Torrid Zone in a dark
fog for many years during several generations. The oceans
rose some 200 feet all over, the world with the sudden
melting of the ice caps, as they do after each cataclysm.
The end of the Laurentian Ice Age, and the start of
the "Old Stone Age" was complete.
The Mayan tongue lived on in scattered remnants:
Polynesian tongues, Greek, Yakut, Egyptian, Eskimo
tongues, Nomadic, Oriental, German, American Indian -
just about all languages. The resurrection from the
waters - Tau - lived on in many stories of a man who
survived, later to become Ta'aroa, Tongaroa, Taroa'a,
depending on which tribe's legend you find.
Adam and Eve could have sprung from the same
story. Who knows?

THE BOOK
OF
GENESIS
(Chapters I, hAnd III)
I.
1. If In the beginning (4.5 billion years ago) the universe
was created in God's great design. Included was our Sun,
and our planet Earth.
2. And during one of the many cataclysms that occurred
during the earth's history (this one being 11,500 years
ago), the earth's lands were all inundated with raging
waters, and ravaged by horrendous winds; and the oceans
were all dark with muddiness. And the ill wind thundered
over the troubled waters also.
3. And as the storms abated, sunlight came back to the
face of the earth, as God intended.
4. And, while the holocaust was abating, once more dark-
ness and sunlight were reestablished and distinguishable,
and it was good.
5. And sunlight was again daytime, and darkness again
nighttime, in accordance with God's design; and evening
and morning made one day.
6. � Again, God's original design was that there be a sky
between the clouds and oceans;
7. And in accordance with God's design, the heavens were
reestablished, in that the sky again stood between the
clouds and the oceans, as the onslaught of the great storms
abated.
8. And God's heavens were indeed reestablished; and
that evening and morning were the beginning of the sec-
ond day.

9. III And God's design was that the lands would not be en-
tirely covered by the oceans as they were immediately
following a cataclysm, so the disrupted oceans, now set-
tling, drained off the higher lands.
10. And, in accordance with God's design, the dry land
was earth, and , the waters oceans, and once again it was
reestablished and good, as God intended.
11. And since God's design was that the earth should bring
forth grass and herbs, yielding their seed, and the fruit
yielding fruit containing its seed; and the earth was again
reestablished.
12. Therefore the earth, being reestablished, brought
forth grass and herbs, yielding their seed, and the fruit tree
yielding fruit containing its seed; and it was good, as God
intended.
13. And the evening and the morning were the start of
the third day.
14. � In accordance with God's design, there were normally
lights in the heavens, which served to indicate months, and
seasons, and days, and years;
15. Also they served to furnish light on the earth, as God
intended.
16. And as the great fog lifted, and the clouds broke, the
Sun and Moon reappeared, and also the stars;
17. And once again, as God intended, they shone from the
heavens;
18. And the Sun and Moon again were able to divide light
and darkness, which was good.
19. And the evening and the morning Were the start of
the fourth day.
20. And it was God's will that some of every creature
living, and bird flying, should survive the cataclysmic in-
undation.
38

21. Surviving then were great whales, and every living
creature of the sea, and every kind of winged fowl; and
it was as God intended, and good.
22. And they were blessed with God's original design to
be fruitful, and reproduce, and replenish the oceans with
sea life and the air with fowl.
23. And the evening and the morning were the start of
the fifth day.
24. � And it was God's will that some of every creature,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, should
survive the cataclysmic inundation;
25. Surviving then were the beasts, the cattle, and every
thing that creeps on the earth; and it was as God intended,
and good.
26. And in accordance with God's design, man, who was
created in the image God intended, also was to survive, and
have dominion over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth.
27. So it was God's design that man, who was created in
the image God intended, both male and female, would sur-
vive the cataclysmic inundation.
28. And they were blessed with God's original design to
be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
control it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moves upon the earth.
29. I And God's design was that man, being given every
herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to man it should be for food.
30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of
the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein
39
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
there is life, God's design was that green herbs shall serve
for food; and it was as God intended.
31. And every thing which survived, was as God had
originally created, and still was in God's design, and was
good. And the evening and the morning were the begin-
ning of the sixth day.
1. II Thus the heavens and the earth were reestablished, all
the host of them.
2. And on the seventh day the recovery from the holo-
caust and flood were complete; and the seventh day
brought rest from the fight for survival against the holo-
caust and its aftereffects.
3. And the seventh day brought God's blessed peace,
as the holocaust had abated, leaving those of his creation
who survived.
4. ILE These are the same regenerations of the heavens and of
the earth as they were reestablished after the tumble
previous to the one of this story, when the Lord God re-
established the earth and the heavens.
5. And every plant of the field before that cataclysm was
in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For
the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth in this
region, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6. But there was this cataclysm, and great inundations
arose over the earth.
7. And it was God's will that man should rise up from the
earth, and keep the breath of life, and remain a living soul.
This is his story.
8. � And it was God's will, after a cataclysm, that a conti-
nent eastward be established, and there in Eden lived the
man of this story.

9. And from this land grew other civilizations, on other
lands, with the motherland in the midst of all being the
seat of wisdom, of all knowledge, both good and evil.
10. And the inundation destroyed Eden, and left only
its four offspring lands.
(Note: The next four verses are probably incorrect,
with the true description locked in correct translations of
Egypt's "Book of the Dead", and the missing portion of
the Pin i Reis map.)
11. The first land is near the river Pison, which includes
the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium
and the onyx stone.
13. And the second land is near the river Gihon: the same
land which includes the whole land of Ethiopia.
14. And the third land is near the river Hiddekel: that is
the land toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth land
is near the river Euphrates.
15. And it was in God's province that the man was of
Eden, where he lived and toiled.
16. And he was descended from the original mankind
which settled that motherland.
17. And God's design was that the man was warned:
although the motherland was the source of all knowledge,
both good and evil, if he stay therein, surely he would die.
18. � And it was God's design that the man should not be
alone, therefore a mate should be his;
19. And since God had originally created every beast of
the field, and fowl of the air, and in his time Adam had
named each one;
41
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
Approved for Release: 2019/05/17 C05998606
20. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl
of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam
there was no mate.
21. For Adam's mate had died, after giving birth to a
child of Adam;
22. And the child of the man was a female, made in the
image God intended;
23. And Adam said, this child is bone of my bone, and
flesh of my flesh; and she grew into womanhood.
24. Therefore, the man was both father and mother to
her, and she abode with him, as they were one flesh.
25. And the climate there was warm, requiring little or
no clothing.
1. 11 Now at the time of the beginning of this story, the
oceans were in their normal state of quietness; and it was
known to the woman of this story that she was not de-
scended from any of the peoples of the lands which sprang
from the mother continent;
2. And God's design was that the woman would learn
that the people of the offspring lands would live on,
3. But the people of the motherland, from whom she had
descended, would surely all die.
4. And she knew that in spite of the impending inunda-
tion, she would not surely die;
5. For God's design was that from the day she was born,
she wat descended from the original mankind of the
motherland, and was destined to know all, to discern both
good and evil.
6. And the woman, being of the motherland, and being
wise and good, knew that both she and her father were

descended from the original mankind of the motherland.
7. And they both were wise, and had lived the good life;
and it was that time of the year when some clothing was
needed for warmth.
8. And in the cool of those days, when they were wonder-
ing to which of the offspring lands they should go, and
God's presence was felt strongly by them,
9. Adam felt God's call,
10. And said, I have heard God's warning since the sum-
mer, and have feared, for I knew not where to find refuge;
11. And God's warning had come to him in the summer,
as a warning to leave the land of his ancestors.
12. And the man said, the woman who is my daughter,
and descended of my ancestors, gave me this knowledge;
13. And asked her, What gift of knowledge has God
given you? And the woman said, I am of your ancestors
and inherit their wisdom; and the coming inundations of
the oceans has been made known to me;
14. And God's design was that the oceans would so inun-
date the lands, and drown all cattle, and all beasts of the
field, and bury all dust,
15. And God has thus given me victory over the oceans,
such that the seed of future generations is in you and me,
for the oceans will drown all others.
16. And God's design was that although the inundation
would greatly multiply her sorrows, she would even so
bring forth children, as her love would be for her husband,
and his for her.
17. And unto Adam it was God's will that he heed the
words of his daughter, and God's warning that though they
be descendants of original mankind of the motherland,
they should leave it, as it was destined for destruction, and
were they to stay, surely they would regret it;

18. And where Adam was to go, the land would be diffi-
cult to farm, with thorns and thistles abounding; and even
so the herb of the field was to be their food.
19. By his own toil and sweat he was destined to fight
the fight for survival after the inundation, even to the end
of his days, when he would return to mother Earth, as it
was Earth man came from, and unto Earth he shall return.
20. And after the inundation, Adam therefore made the
woman his wife, and called her Eve, as she was to be the
mother of all living from the motherland.
21. And, again after the inundation, as they were in a
colder climate, it was God's design as part of their survival
that they make coats of skins, and be clothed.
22. � And it was God's design that Adam should take with
him the knowledge of good and evil from the motherland
as he put forth and left in order to live;
23. Therefore, in accordance with God's will, he left the
garden of Eden, to survive and live from the soil where
he was to go.
24. So the man left; and the garden of Eden was subjected
to a cataclysm of earthquake and fire, and the motherland
lost its foundations, and sank beneath the oceans.

When Indra, King of the Gods, had destroyed the Titan
who held the waters of the earth captive in his entrails, he
returned to the heights of the Central Mountain with the
song of the rains and running waters in his ears. But where
his dwelling once stood, he saw only ruins and ashes. So he
summoned Visvakarman, god of works and arts, and asked
him to build another palace to match his powers. The ar-
chitect set to work; soon towers, buildings, and gardens
rose among lakes and woods. Indra urged him forward im-
patiently. Each day he called for some fresh marvel, new
delight for the eyes, walls more imperial, pavilions more
richly adorned, statues greater in number and cunning. A
fever seemed to burn in him. And Visvakarman, exhausted
by his labors, decided to lay a complaint before the Creator
of the world. Brahma received him, gave ear, approved,
and went to plead his cause before Vishnu, the supreme
Being. Help was promised.
Soon a young Brahman appeared at the King's palace
and demanded audience. Charmed by the light of his eyes,
Indra granted his request. "Oh King," said the messenger,
"thy palace shall be the noblest of all." These words were
sweet to Indra's ears, and he rejoiced. Vishnu's messenger
continued: "It shall be the noblest of the palaces which
the Indras before thyself sought to build." The King be-
came uneasy. "Dost thou say that there were other Indras,
other Visvakarmans before ourselves, other palaces before
mine?"
"Indeed yes," the youth answered. "I have seen them."
"Moreover I have seen the world arise and vanish, arise
and vanish again, like a tortoise's shell coining out of In-
finite ocean and sinking back. I was present at the dawn
and the twilight of the Cycles, past counting in their
numbers, nor could I count all the Indras and Visvakar-
mans, even the Vishnus and Brahmas, following one an-
other without end."

"0 Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children. . . .
There is no old doctrine handed down among you by
ancient tradition nor any science which is hoary with age,
and I will tell you the reason behind this. There have been
and will be again many destructions of mankind arising
out of many causes, the greatest having been brought
about by earth-fire and inundation. Whatever happened
either in your country or ours or in any other country of
which we are informed, any action which is noble and
great or in any other way remarkable which has taken
place, all that has been inscribed long ago in our temple
records, whereas you and other nations did not keep im-
perishable records. And then, after a period of time, the
usual inundation visits like a pestilence and leaves only
those of you who are destitute of letters and education.
And thus you have to begin over again as children and
know nothing of what happened in ancient times either
among us or among yourselves."
"As for those genealogies of yours which you have
related to us, they are no better than tales of children;
for in the first place, you remember one deluge only,
whereas there were a number of them. And in the next
place there dwelt in your land, which you do not know,
the fairest and noblest race of men that ever lived of which
you are but a seed or remnant. And this was not known
to you because for many generations the survivors of that
destruction made no records."

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be re-

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

Mr. Thomas attended Dartmouth College and Co-
lumbia University, receivinehts'etekree�inTie-Ctrical En-
gineering from the latter in 1943.
As a result of his research since 1949, Mr. Thomas
has become recognized as the world's leading authority
in the field of cataclysmic geology and its relationship to
uniformitarian geology.
In 1959 he applied his findings to the possibility of
earthquake prediction, and at a seminar in November,
1959 issued the results of his studies. He then accurately
forecast the months, years, and locations of the major
African and Chilean earthquakes of 1960, the Iranian
earthquake of 1962, the Jugoslavian earthquake of 1963,
and further predicted that California would have no
major earthquakes for the following five years.
His correlation research in the fields of stratigraphy,
vertebrate palaeontology, radiology, oceanography, glacio-
ogly, seismology, palaeophilology, earth magnetism, an-
thropology, and other related fields, has demonstrated
that the cataclysmic geology theories as presented by
DeLuc in 1779 and Cuvier in 1812 are definitely more
acceptable than they have been previously within inter-
national scientific circles.
Mr. Thomas' definitive efforts in integrating the
various earth sciences have distinguished him as the only
American today with such a specialized scientific forte.
His research in palaeosciences has led to new explana-
tions of such enigmas as the Pyramid of Khufu at Gizeh,
the ancient cities of Tiahuanaco and Baalbek, and the
giant statues of Easter Island.
