In the period, then - some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand
years before the entry of Ram into India - there lived in this land
of Atlantis one Amilius. (Aryans into India 2000 BC = 100,000 years
BC) there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had
first NOTED that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that
portion of the earth's sphere or plane of those peoples into male and
female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the
physical sense, these were much RATHER of the nature of THOUGHT
FORMS, or able to push out OF THEMSELVES in that direction in which
its development took shape in thought - much in the way and manner as
the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the
present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire
for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became
hardened or set -much in the form of the existent human body of the
day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the
manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form
as the red, or the mixture peoples - or colors; known then later by
the associations as the RED race. These, then, able to use IN their
gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their
individual surroundings, passing through those periods of
developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow,
the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet
with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the
developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion
of the globe than in others - and while the destruction of this
continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept
as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains - as
has that influence OF those peoples in that life of those peoples to
whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or
influence the lives of those peoples TO whom they came.

And Ohum, that builded the walls across the mountains in this
period, through those same usages of that as had been taken on by
those peoples. And also into American area and became the first of

(Q)
Was Atlantis one of the five points at which man appeared in the
beginning, being the home of the red race? (A) One of the five
points. As has been given, in what is known as Gobi, India, in
Carpathia [?], or in that known as the Andes, and that known as in
the western plain of what is now called America - the five places. In
their presentation, as we find, these - in the five places, as MAN
(Let's get the difference in that as first appeared in what is known
as Atlantis, and that as MAN appearing from those projections in the
five places - and, as has been given, from their environ took on that
as became necessary for the meeting of those varying conditions under
which their individualities and personalities began to put on form) -
one in the white, another in the brown, another in the black, another
in the red. These, as we find, taking that form - Would snow be the
place for the black? or the sun the place for the white? or the
desert and the hills for either the white or black? as were partakers
of those things that brought about those variations in that which
enters, or becomes as the outer presentation, or the skin, or the
pigment that is presented in same.

AUTHOR OF 'ORIGIN OF RACES' LEAVING UNIVERSITY MUSEUM
By Peter H. Binzen
Of The Bulletin Staff
Dr. Carleton S. Coon, noted anthropologist whose work, "The
Origin of Races," has stirred controversy, is retiring as
curator of ethnology and professor of anthropology at the
University of Pennsylvania Museum.
Professor Coon, 58, has held the two posts for 15 years. His
retirement is effective July 1. He will remain a member of
the museum staff for field work.
From his home in Gloucester, Mass., Dr. Coon said yesterday
that he plans to devote his time to research and writing. He
has been on leave for a year.
Author, lecturer, onetime television personality (on the
Museum program, "What in the World?"), Professor Coon is
currently president of the American Association of Physical
Anthropologists.
ATHENAEUM MEDALIST
Last Friday he received one of two Athenaeum of Philadelphia
1962 gold medals for nonfiction, for "The Origin of Races."
Professor Coon emphasized that his retirement had been
planned for a long time and has no connection whatever with
the furor that has developed over "The Origin of Races."
In the volume, which was published last fall, Coon offers a
striking theory concerning the history of mankind.
FIVE SEPARATE RACES
It is his belief that man divided into five races or
subspecies half a million years ago, perhaps longer, and the
five races then developed almost independently.
Homo erectus evolved into Homo sapiens, he believes, not
once but five times as each subspecies passed the critical
intelligence threshold.
He suggests there may have been a lag of as much as 200,000
years between the time the first subspecies became sapient
(wise) and the time that the fifth one did.
SEGREGATIONISTS CITED BOOK
Coon tentatively traces the Congoid (Negro) subspecies
through the so-called "Broken Hill" man of Northern Rhodesia
which he terms "the only complete specimen of Homo erectus
yet found." He estimates its age at no more than 25,000
years.
Segregationists pounced on the book as evidence that the
Negro race was at least 200,000 years behind the white race
on the ladder of evolution.
Dr. Coon, in "The Origin of Races," said he was making no
judgments concerning possible relationships between blood
and brains. He promised to do so in a sequel.

(Q)
Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs
and costumes of the people of Atlantis during the period just before
this first destruction. (A) These, as we find, will require their
being separated in the gradual development of the body and its
physiognomy as it came into being in the various portions of that
land, as well as to those that would separate themselves from those
peoples where there were the indwelling of peoples, or man - as man,
in the various areas of the land, or what we call world. In the
matter of form, as we find, first there were those as projections
from that about the animal kingdom; for the THOUGHT bodies gradually
took form, and the various COMBINATIONS (as may be called) of the
various forces that called or classified themselves as gods, or
rulers over -whether herds, or fowls, or fishes, etc. - in PART that
kingdom and part of that as gradually evolved into a physiognomy much
in the form of the present day may (were one chosen of those that
were, or are, the nearest representative of the race of peoples that
existed in this first period as the first destructions came about).
These took on MANY sizes as to stature, from that as may be called
the midget to the giants - for there were giants in the earth in
those days, men as tall as (what would be termed today) ten to twelve
feet in stature, and in proportion - well proportioned throughout.
The ones that became the most USEFUL were those as would be
classified (or called in the present) as the IDEAL stature, that was
of both male and female (as those separations had been begun); and
the most ideal (as would be called) was Adam, who was in that period
when he (Adam) appeared as five in one - See? In this the physiognomy
was that of a full head, with an extra EYE - as it were - in those
portions that became what is known as the EYE. In the beginning these
appeared in WHATEVER portion was desired by the body for its use! As
for the dress, those in the beginning were (and the Lord made for
them coats) of the skins of the animals. These covered the parts of
their person that had become, then, as those portions of their
physiognomy that had brought much of the desires that made for
destructive forces in their own experience; and these then were of
those ABOUT them that were given as meat, or used as same - that
partook of the herbs. These were those same herbs that the seed were
to have been for food for the man in self, and only those that
partook of same may be called even CLEAN - in the present day. Those
that supply those same materials that are the proper building for the
forces within the anatomical forces, or physiological forces, of a
developing body; for these carry all the elements in their natural
state. Little of minerals should ever be the properties within the
system, save as may be taken through the vegetable forces, save where
individuals have so laxed themselves as to require or need that which
will make for an even balance of same.

(Q)
Are the places designated for the beginning of the five races
correct? (A) As we find, these are changed, in that: Those in the
Gobi, the yellow. The white - rather in the Carpathians than India,
though this is the change to which they are made. The red, of course,
in the Atlantean and in the American. The brown in the Andean. The
black in the plain and the Sudan, or in African.

(Q)
Where was the Carpathian region? (A) Aarat. (Q) Where is the
location? Is it on the map today? (A) Southern part of Europe and
Russia, and Persia and that land. Caucasian mountains.
READING:
364-13
Q)
Why was the number five selected for the projection of the five
races? (A) This, as we find, is that element which represents man in
his physical form, and the attributes to which he may become
conscious FROM the elemental or spiritual to the physical
consciousness. As the senses; as the sensing OF the various forces
that bring to man the activities in the sphere in which he finds
himself.
READING:
364-13
(Q)
Did the appearance of what became the five races occur
simultaneously? (A) Occurred at once.
READING:
364-13
(Q)
Describe the earth's surface at the period of the appearance of the
five projections. (A) This has been given. In the first, or that
known as the beginning, or in the Caucasian and Carpathian, or the
Garden of Eden, in that land which lies now much in the desert, yet
much in mountain and much in the rolling lands there. The extreme
northern portions were then the southern portions, or the polar
regions were then turned to where they occupied more of the tropical
and semi-tropical regions; hence it would be hard to discern or
disseminate the change. The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean.
What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What
is now the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin,
was then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the
regions that are now portions of Nevada, Utah and Arizona formed the
greater part of what we know as the United States. That along the
Atlantic board formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of
Atlantis. The Andean, or the Pacific coast of South America, occupied
then the extreme western portion of Lemuria. The Urals and the
northern regions of same were turned into a tropical land. The desert
in the Mongolian land was then the fertile portion. This may enable
you to form SOME concept of the status of the earth's representations
at that time! The oceans were then turned about; they no longer bear
their names, yet from whence obtained they their names? What is the
legend, even, as to their names?

(Q)
Are the following the correct places? Atlantean, the red. (A)
Atlantean and American, the red race.
READING:
364-13
(Q)
Upper Africa for the black? (A) Or what would be known now as the
more WESTERN portion of upper Egypt for the black. You see, with the
changes -when there came the uprisings in the Atlantean land, and the
sojourning southward - with the turning of the axis, the white and
yellow races came more into that portion of Egypt, India, Persia and
Arabia.
READING:
364-13
(Q)
There was no original projection in upper India? (A) This was a
portion rather of the white and the yellow as represented. Let these
represent the attributes of the physical, or the senses and what
forms they take, rather than calling them white, black, yellow, red
and green, etc. What do they signify in the SENSING? Sight, vision -
white. Feeling - red. Black - gratifying of appetites in the senses.
Yellow - mingling in the hearing. What is the law of the peoples that
these represent? Their basic thoughts run to those elements!
READING:
877-26
There
were also other centers that were developing. For in the projections
they began as many, and in creating influences they began as five -
or in those centers where crystallization or projection had taken on
such form as to become what was called man. Hardly could it be said
that they were in the exact form as in the present. For there were
more of the influences that might be used when necessary; such as
arms or limbs or feet or whatnot.
READING:
877-26
Atlantis
was only ONE of the groups (of men); and the highest or the greater
advancement in the earthly sojourning of individual entities or souls
at that particular period - or the highest that had been save that
which had been a part of the Lemurian age.
READING:
1629-1
Entity
in the land when the highest civilization existed in Atlantis. The
entity then among those who preserved the laws of the peoples as
relating to the mysteries of the races. Hence the entity lost and
gained through that experience, for in the application of same to
selfish desire the entity brought destructive forces to self and
self's inner being; yet innately the mysteries of numbers, races,
places, shrines, stones, temples, and such, keep the entity - as it
were - in innate fear of their meaning.

The
days upon the earth then were counted in the tens, the fifties and
the hundreds, besides the days or weeks or years in the present. Or,
the LIFE existence of the entity, as compared to the present, would
be years instead of weeks; or, in that experience, to live five to
six to seven hundred years was no more than to live to the age of
fifty, sixty or seventy years in the present.
READING:
2467-1
In
the one before this we find in that period when man's indwelling
became more of the fact. The entity then in the land known as
Atlantis, and a power during that period -being honored among those
that were called sons of the Most High.
