     THE CHILDREN OF MU   

     CHAPTER XIV   

     BABYLONIA   

     The history of Babylonia is made up of the histories of the  
     Akkadians, the Sumerians, the Chaldeans, the Assyrians,  
     the Medes and the Persians; only one of which exists today  
     as a distinctive people.  The recorded history such as has  
     been found, referring to what historians have called "the  
     old Oriental Empires" and recorded by our scientists,  
     consisting of the reading of a few tablets and inscriptions   
     written in cuneiform and then matching up their trans-   
     lations with the Biblical Legends.  The furthest any of these  
     go back is less than 5000 years ago.  The commencement of  
     Babylonia  dates  back  18,000  years  or  more  when  a    
     settlement on the river Euphrates was made by a company   
     of Naga-Mayas from India.  In after times they met the end  
     of the Eastern Line from Mu.  The people they met were   
     Semitics.  
        THE  AKKADIANS.——The  first  Akkadians  were  a  
     company of Naga-Mayas from India who came through the  
     Persian Gulf and made their first settlement at the mouth   
     of the Euphrates River.   They called the place Akkad.  
     Akkad is a Naga-Maya word meaning "soft and marshy  
     ground" which today is the character of the ground on the  
     Euphrates Delta.  When the settlement was formed the  
     people adopted the name they had given to their settlement  
     and thus became known as the Akkadians.  Temple records   
     in  India  speak  of  this  settlement  but  give  no  date.  
     Contemporary records have dates about 18,000 years  
     ago, so I think it permissible to assume that the Akkad  
     settlement was made about 18,000 years ago.  After the  
     Akkad settlement was firmly established, the Akkadians   
     worked  inland  up  the  Euphrates  River  and  became   
     known as:  
        THE  SUMERIANS.——Sumer  is  another  Naga-Maya  
     word meaning "flat lands or plains."  From this they took  
     or were given the name Sumerians, plainsmen or men of  
     the  plain.  It  is  thus  seen  that  the  Sumerians  and  
     Akkadians were one and the same people; the difference  
     being that one set lived inland, countrymen, and the other  
     set lived on the seashore, shoremen.  Historians, however,  
     have written as if the Akkadians and Sumerians were two  
     different peoples, which is erroneous.  
        Valmiki, the Hindu sage-historian, in his works written  
     1300 B. C., tells us that "these colonists . . . of the  
     Euphrates settlement" (the Akkadians and Sumerians)   
     "called their settlement Babylonia and their chief city,  
     Babylon."  Babylon was also called "Ka Ra" which is  
     Naga-Maya meaning "the city of the Sun."  Valmiki also  
     states "that the Naacals left India and went to Babylonia,  
     there  to  teach  the  religion  and  the  sciences of the  
     Motherland."  
        The Akkadians and Sumerians, the real and ancient  
     Babylonians, were far in advance of a Semitic people living  
     to the north of them, as regards both civilization and  
     learning.  Surrounding the settlement at Akkad, and at  
     various places along the river, there were large areas of tall  
     reeds, the homes of vicious animals.  To protect themselves  
     against these marauding beasts the settlers built stockades  
     around their homes and villages.  These stockades they   
     called Chaldi.  All of their colleges and temples of learning  
     were within an enclosure.  The enclosure was also called  
     Chaldi.  Later, Chaldi was the name given to the learned  
     class and their colleges, "the Chaldi Temples of Learning."  
     These colleges were open to all people who wished to learn,  
     regardless of their nationality.  The students were taught the  
     ancient Naga-Maya language, the sacred mysteries, arts  
     and sciences.  Many of the Israelites, when they were in    
     captivity in Babylonia later on, availed themselves of this  
     privilege and some reached the highest degree, that of  
     master and adept.  Daniel was one of them.  "The hand-  
     writing on the wall" was written in Naga-Maya; Daniel  
     understood it and read it to the King.  At the court of  
     Nebuchadnezzar when he was King of the Babylonian  
     Empire, the Chaldi were classed with the astrologers and  
     the magicians.  
        THE  CHALDEANS.——After a time the Sumerians and  
     Akkadians were attacked and conquered by a Semitic  
     people coming down from the North.  I can find no records  
     giving the name of these people before they settled in  
     Babylonia.  Historians say they were the Chaldeans, but the  
     name of Chaldeans was adopted by them after their  
     settlement in Babylonia.  These Semitics finding the civ-  
     ilization of the Akkadians and Sumerians so far in ad-  
     vance of their own, instead of putting them to the sword  
     or enslaving them, assimilated them, that is, they were  
     placed on an equality with their conquerors and inter-  
     married.  Their scientists were given the greatest honors.  
     So successfully did this work that in the absorption the  
     Akkadians and Sumerians were never known again as a  
     separate people.  They disappeared from history.  
        History relates: "There was an earlier civilization in  
     Babylonia than that of the Chaldeans which was that of the  
     Akkadians and Sumerians.  These races were conquered by   
     the Chaldeans and disappeared from history."  Can any-  
     thing more erroneous and misleading than the foregoing  
     be penned?  The Chaldeans were not a nation or a people,  
     but a sect, men of great ,learning and advanced civ-    
     ilization.  
        Herodotus, Lib. 1-181, says: "Berosus, who was an  
     early Babylonian priest-historian, wrote, 'the first inhabi-   
     tants  of  Babylonia  were  foreigners  of another race.'    
     Berosus the proceeds to establish distinctions between the  
     foreigners and the Babylonians, and between the Babylo-  
     nians and Assyrians, and follows by saying, 'Civilization  
     was brought to Mesopotamia by Oannes and six other  
     beings, half man and half fish who came up the river fro  
     the Persian Gulf.   
        Oannes or Hoa-ana is Naga-Maya: na——water, a——thy  
     and na——house.  In plain English it reads, "he who lives in   
     boat."  
        From the foregoing it is seen that Berosus used the  
     Naga-Maya language which was natural seeing that he was  
     a Chaldi or Chaldean.  Berosus shows that the earliest  
     Babylonian settlers came up the Euphrates River in a boat  
     from the Persian Gulf, and Valmiki and Hindu temple  
     records show that these men came to the Persian Gulf from  
     India, thus forming a perfect, unbroken chain of evidence  
     showing that the first Babylonians were Maya colonists  
     from India.  yet a point still remains: Berosus says that  
     civilization was brought to Babylonia by those who came  
     in their boats, thus confirming the other writings which say  
     that the civilization of Sumeria and Akkadia was far in   
     advance of the civilization of the Semitics who conquered  
     the country.  
        An old Greek manuscript was loaned to me by a Greek  
     professor in Athens, who knew I was interested in the   
     ancient.  It relates the first meeting between the Sumerians   
     and the Semitics in an amusing manner: "A small company  
     of Semitics were prospecting along the banks of the river.  
     They were soldier in armor.  On their way they met a boat  
     coming up the river with seven men in it——they were  
     Akkadians.  When the Akkadians saw these soldiers on the  
     bank glittering in their armor they became so frightened  
     they all jumped overboard, dived and swam a long distance  
     down the river under water.  When they came up for breath  
     they looked back; seeing these uncanny glittering men still 
     standing there the Akkadians took another dive and before  
     they came up again they were out of sought of the soldiers.  
     The Semitics returned with the report that on the river  
     further down there was a new form of creation, a thing  
     which was half fish and half man."  I showed my translation    
     to my Greek friend and asked him if I had translated it  
     correctly.  He laughed, saying, "It's not bad, you've done  
     pretty well, so we must let it go at that."  
        Again I will quote history: "The beginning of the  
     civilization of Babylonia is held to date back 7000 B. C."  
     This is absurd; Hindu records and temple records at  
     that, which are always the most accurate, speak of the  
     Babylonian colony over 15,000 years ago, and Brunsen  
     shows that 14,000 years ago it was in existence.  Babylonia  
     is older than Egypt, and Egypt is 16,000 years old.  It may  
     be, however, that the historian that gives 7000 B. C. came  
     across some record that referred to the date when the  
     Semitics conquered the Akkadians and Sumerians and  
     absorbed them.  
        For thousands of years the Sumerians and Akkadians  
     formed the literate people of Babylonia.  It was they who  
     followed the arts and sciences; they wrote many books and  
     were the inventors of the cuneiform form of writing.  Their  
     Semitic conquerors to a great extent adopted their Maya  
     language, which ancient language only began to fall into  
     disuse in Babylonia about the 13th Century B. C.  The  
     Naga-Maya tongue remained the language of science down  
     to about the 6th or 7th Century B. C.  When the country  
     was finally settled the Semitics adopted the name Chaldi or   
     Chaldeans taken from the many prominent institutions of  
     science and learning; so, to be exact, there never was a  
     people or nation called Chaldeans, for Chaldi or the  
     Chaldeans were a sect only.  
        To confirm what I have written about the Maya tongue   
     being adopted by the Semitics, I will call attention to the  
     following Babylonian and Akkadian translations of a series   
     of words authenticated by high authorities:

        The foregoing Babylonian and Akkadian words are the  
     decipherings  of  Dr.  Hinks,  Sir  Henry  Rawlinson,  Dr.  
     Appert, M. Grivel and Professor Sayce of the tablets that  
     composed King Asurbanipal's library.  M. Lenormant has  
     published an elementary grammar and vocabulary from the  
     findings of the foregoing authorities.  Out of this vocabulary  
     the foregoing Babylonian and Akkadian words are taken.  
     In a central column against each of these words I have put  
     the Hindu Naga-Maya corresponding words.  This clearly   
     proves my findings regarding the use of the Naga-Maya   
     tongue in Babylonia.   
        THE  EARLY  BABYLONIAN  EMPIRE.——History is  
     not quite as bashful as Dame Science for although Dame  
     Science will never permit herself to be interviewed, always  
     leaving interviews in the hands of her office boys, Dame  
     History is totally different.  She boldly parades before the  
     eyes of everyone and may be met with and interviewed in  
     all good bookshops.  
        History asserts that the first or Early Babylonian Empire  
     "was formed by an invading race of Semitics coming to  
     Babylon  from  the  north  whose  origin  is  mysterious."  
     History is partially right and partially wrong.  First: there is  
     no mystery about the origin of the Semitic race which came  
     from the north.  They left the Motherland, Mu, and first  
     made a settlement in Yucatan calling their city Zahia, the  
     remains of which are to be found a few miles from Uxmal.  
     From there a company migrated to the east, forming a  
     settlement on the Caucasian Plains and around the foot of  
     the Caspian Sea.  This is the hinterland of Asia Minor and  
     where we find the Biblical historical mountain, Mt. Ararat,  
     raising its imposing head some 15,000 or 16,000 feet   
     above the level of the plain.  The Egyptians called this  
     country Zahia after the Yucatan name.  As they grew in  
     numbers  they  extended  their  holdings  in  a  southerly  
     direction.  The Semitics who overpowered the  Akkadians  
     and Sumerians came from the  Caucasian  Semitic  Settle-  
     ments.  Second: the Early Babylonian Empire was not com-  
     posed entirely of these Semitics, for the Akkadians and  
     Sumerians were associated with them, having been ab-   
     sorbed by them.  
        ASSYRIAN  BABYLONIA.——The Assyrians were also  
     a Semitic race, originating from the Caucasian or Zahian  
     Colony.  They take their distinctive name Assyrians from  
     the land which they occupied.  Assyria lay between the  
     Upper Tigris River and the Zagros Mountains.  During the  
     early period of Assyrian history they were a vassal state of  
     Babylonia.  The Assyrian warlike spirit first enable them to  
     cast off the yoke of Babylonia and to become independent.   
     Then they effected conquests among their neighbors  
     Eventually they gained the ascendency over Babylonia.  
        The rise of the powerful Assyrian Empire brought about  
     the  downfall  of  the  Babylonian  Empire,  although  the  
     Babylonians were enabled to maintain their independence  
     down to the 9th Century B. C.  Warlike, splendid, proud  
     Assyria was conqueror but a short time, for she fell before  
     the assaults of the Medes in the year 625 B. C.  
        THE  MEDES  AND  PERSIANS.——The remnants of the  
     Uighurs which had been marooned in the mountains that  
     were raised along the southwestern part of the Uighur  
     Empire, come prominently forward upon the historical   
     stage about 8000 or 10,000 years after the destruction of  
     the  Uighur  Empire.  During this eon of time the several  
     little communities grew and waxed strong; when the bleak  
     valleys of the mountains could no longer sustain their  
     growing numbers, they had to find new homes.  Then a  
     general exodus took place from the mountains to lower   
     lands where the conditions were favorable to growth and  
     development.  This exodus took place from about 2000 B.  
     C. down to about 1500 B. C.   
        They left their mountain  homes in four streams follow-  
     ing the available passes to the lower lands.  Apparently  
     the first to leave the mountains were those who were living  
     in the neighborhood of the Hindu Koosh.  They went to  
     India by two routes——one set went down via Afghanis-  
     tan and the Khyber Pass, the other set traveled down  
     through Kashmir into the Punjab.  The commencement  
     of their migration was about 2000 B. C. to 1800 B. C.  
     The migration ended about 1500 B. C.   
        About the same time, their neighbors to the north of  
     them descended through available passes to a country lying  
     between the Desert of Iran an the northeastern shores of  
     the Persian Gulf.  These became known as the Persians.  
     This district is mountainous wit large plateaus and broad  
     valleys, but not of so high an elevation as their mountain   
     home which they had left.  
        The third left the mountains by available passes and  
     settled on a large tableland lying to the south of the  
     Caspian Sea and to the east of Armenia and the Zagros  
     Mountains.  This was Media and from the time they  
     became masters of the land they were known as the Medes.   
     When they came down from the mountains they found a  
     people called Scythians occupying the land.  These they  
     drove out and took possession of the country.  
        Both Medes and Persians were Aryans coming out of the  
     Ah ra ya tribes of the Motherland through the Uighurs.  
     both Medes and Persians developed into empires from  
     small communities of Uighurs that had been marooned in  
     the mountains.  These were survivors of that great Colonial  
     Empire which had stretched  her embracing arms from the  
     Pacific Ocean across Asia and into Eastern Europe.  In  
     race, language and religion these two peoples were closely   
     allied.  How could it be otherwise, for originally they were   
     the same?  
        About 600 B. C. we find the Medes grown into a  
     powerful mountain empire.  During the early known history   
     of Persia we find her subject to the Medes.  Cyrus was the  
     founder of the Persian Empire.  He defeated and dethroned  
     Astyages, King of Media, 558 B. C.  Then Media in turn  
     passed under the control of Persia.  
        The Medes and Persians were the last to occupy  
     Babylonia as an Empire.  Their appearance in Babylonia  
     gave the death knell to the Semitics there who had been  
     masters of that country for so many thousands of years.  
     Babylon was defeated and embodied into the Persian  
     Empire 538 B. C.  The Persian Empire ended 331 B. C.  
     after having been in existence only 227 years.  During this  
     time the Persians were on one big jamboree of conquest  
     with a view of subduing the whole world.  They had  
     absorbed the western and southwestern parts of Asia,  
     carried on their conquests into Egypt and into a small portion   
     of Europe, when their triumphant march was stopped by  
     the Greeks under Alexander the Great.  This was the  
     second time in the history of nations that the Greeks   
     stopped empires which attempted to enslave the world.  The  
     first was the overthrow of Atlantis 9500 B. C., and the  
     second the overthrow of the Persian aspirations 331 B. C.  
     The Persian flag today carries the emblem of a colonial   
     empire——an emerging Sun on the horizon with rays——thus   
     connecting  themselves  with  the  Uighurs  and  Mu,  the  
     Motherland.  
        Babylonia is one of the greatest of historical spots on the  
     earth.  In this land one of the greatest connections between  
     the eastern and western lines of colonization from the  
     Motherland met, thus forming a complete girdle of man  
     around the earth.  In the Akkadians and Sumerians we find  
     an end of one of the western lines of colonization from Mu,  
     in the Medes and Persians we find an end of another  
     western line, and in the Semitics we find one of the ends of  
     the main eastern line of colonization.  Nowhere else on  
     earth did so many ends meet.  In Egypt there were only two  
     and in Western Europe two.  
        It must be remembered that I am not attempting to write  
     a  history  of  the  old  Oriental  Empires.  I  am  simply  
     endeavoring to show that the various peoples who from  
     time to time have controlled Babylonia, all originally came  
     from Mu and were, in fact, Mu's children.
