The Dispersion of the Yans Following
the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the Bible records nothing
concerning the history of man—with the exception of the Flood and Noah’s
Ark—until that period just prior to the time Joseph was sold into Egypt by
his brothers. That a great civilization with magnificent cities and a highly
organized government and religion was already established in Egypt seems to
have been accepted without question, apparently little thought being given to
its origin and growth. From the fifth Chapter to the end of the Book of
Genesis, the tens of thousands of years which included what was
unquestionably the most important period in man’s development are completely
ignored. Beginning with this chapter, the old Testament is concerned
principally with the Hebrew people and their exodus, under the leadership of
Moses, from Egypt where they had been practically enslaved. Furthermore,
general histories leading to the development of civilizations existing in
India, Greece, Persia, and Rome at that time also seem never to have been
considered, information concerning their beginnings being only legendary. And
yet, civilizations of prominence and culture such as were these do not spring
up all of their own accord. They are built and governed by those who have an
understanding of such matters. For
all that, we, thinking individuals though we believe ourselves to be, never
question these inconsistencies, or even wonder about them. We accept them and
let it go at that. After all, where could we turn to find the information
concerning that great millennial gap in human history? The
original and true records covering this period were taken to Asia by the
Thirteenth School when the Continent of Mu was submerged, although
information relative to the creation of the earth and man may have been
released by the Elder Brothers subsequent to the building of the Great
Pyramid, estimated at about 6700 years ago, or 4700 B.C. However, the Old
Testament was written much, much later so that it must be assumed that its
first compilers had only fragments of information with which to work, much of
it more or less garbled during the intervening period of time. *** *** *** Contrary
to what many seem to believe, the Continent of Mu did not sink overnight.
Actually, its submergence followed a long series of violent earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions which covered possibly as much as a thousand years. As a
consequence, the majority of its population escaped the final cataclysm by
leaving the Continent during this period. The
true “wandering in the wilderness” concerns the Twelve Tribes of Mu rather than
the little migration of Hebrews from Egypt as the Old Testament might lead
one to believe, and might better have been called the ‘tribal migrations.”
Although the greatest exodus from Mu occurred during the period of its
collapse, migrations from the several tribes took place throughout the 50,000
years of its existence, as you will see. Furthermore, the wandering continues
until this day, for we were all members of some tribe in that long ago time,
and truly, we are far from home in more ways than one. A
discussion of these migrations as they happened will enable the student to
understand how the earth was populated and why there are the various races.
Before entering into what is to follow, for your greater understanding, we
suggest that you secure a map of the world, or better still, an inexpensive
globe since this gives a truer perspective. As you study, you will find that
not only did world topography change with the sinking of the vast Mukulian
Continent, but even that which prevailed following this catastrophe was quite
different from what it is today. Land once at sea level has become mountain
ranges; fertile valleys have become seas, and seas, fertile valleys; the
Amazon River is all that remains of a great inland sea, while the Gobi and
Sahara were not always desert land. The
map of the old Continent in your third lesson will also prove especially
helpful at this point, and it may be well to extract it for the time being,
replacing it after you have completed your work on the present lesson. With
this and a world map before you, you should experience no difficulty in
following these tribal “wanderings.” And
now, we shall follow the tribes, taking up those migrations which began prior
to the advent of Melchizedek and lead into those which took place later. The
Chi Yan and Thibi Yan Valleys were inclined to be swampy, and malaria was
such a common ailment that the tribes living there appear to have developed a
marked immunity to it. However, it left them with a distinctly yellowish
pigmentation that later, as with the Blue Messengers, became a tribal
characteristic. By the time of the advent of Melchizedek, both tribes were
developing the almond-shape eyes now associated with all Mongolians. These
two tribes appear to have been the first to acquire racial distinctions, and
there was quite a marked similarity in physical appearance between them. Prior
to the establishment of civilization on the Rhu Hut Plains, practically no
friendships or cooperation existed between the several tribes, but between
the Chi Yans and Thibi Yans existed an especially bitter antagonism. This was
accentuated by the fact that along the western coast line, the mountain range
separating the two tribes flattened out so as to form a plateau which became
highly desirable as a place to live. As
a consequence, it was a source of dispute and the scene of innumerable
conflicts between the two. The Chi Yans were apparently the more aggressive
fighters and often descended upon the Thibi Yans. In order to escape these
raids, the latter developed crude, raftlike boats, the first of which there
seems to be any record. High tides covered the mudflats with from three to
five feet of water, and to these the Thibi Yans would escape in these
shallow-draft craft when the Chi Yan attacks became too severe. With
the passing of time, these crude boats were greatly improved, and a flotilla
of them was blown out to sea, eventually landing their few survivors upon
what are now the Philippine Islands. Here, they discovered bamboo from which
they made better and lighter craft and eventually, a few hardy souls sailed
back to the Motherland, after which more and more of the Thibi Yans escaped
the Chi Yans by going to these Islands. It
was inevitable, however, that the Ohi Yans should capture some of these
bamboo craft, and being quite ingenious, planted groves of bamboo in their
valley and constructed superior boats. Alarmed by this threat of still
further pursuit, the Thibi Yans living on the Islands began a northerly
migration, eventually reaching Japan. The present-day Ainus, or “hairy
people” regarded as Japan’s original inhabitants are descendants of the Thibi
Yans. They have kept distinct from all other races, retaining the appearance
of the Thibi Yans and, in perhaps slightly varied form, many of the ancient
practices. However,
they did not escape the Chi Yans who, with their better boats, followed them.
Finding the Japanese climate not unlike that of the higher plains of their
own Chi Yan Valley, they soon took over while the Thibi Yans, except for a
few septs who hid in the mountain fastnesses, escaped to the Asiatic
mainland. From here, they warned their tribesmen on the Motherland so that
further migrations were made direct to the mainland. For hundreds of years,
the more daring of the Thibi Yans continued this exodus. As
before, the time came when the Chi Yans discovered where they were going, and
so great was their influx that Thibi Yan migration seems to have stopped
while those already on the mainland fled westward into that section of the
country which we now know by the name they gave it Tibet or Tibet. Here they
remained, the Chi Yans becoming so greatly interested in exploiting that vast
section which came to be known as China that they were satisfied to allow
them to be undisturbed. Both
the Chi Yans and the Thibi Yans were, and still are, very much inclined to be
isolationists, holding themselves separate from the rest of mankind. The
Mongols and Tartars are the result of intermarriage between the two tribes. The
Tama Yans seem to have been on reasonably friendly terms with the Chi Yans
and many of them went to Asia, settling in the once very fertile section that
is now the Gobi Desert. Later, this became the heart of the Uighur Empire.
Thus, we find that even prior to the arrival and ruler ship of Melchizedek,
the Chi, Thibi, and Tama Yans had begun the settlement of what came to be
known as the Uighur Empire. This
migration continued, and with the establishment of schools in the Valleys on
the Continent of Mu, more and more educated people joined the immigrants. You
will remember, however, that these were elementary schools, and that all
those who aspired to citizenship went to those in the Mu Yan Valley, after
which they generally settled on the Rhu Hut Plains. Therefore, those who
migrated to what is now China were of the proletariat. Nevertheless, it must
not be assumed that all the members of these three tribes went to Asia. Far
from it. Many became citizens and aristocrats of the Empire, at least one Chi
Yan becoming a Mukulian Emperor. *** *** *** With
the growth of the Empire, political differences arose among the citizenry,
and among even a few of the aristocracy, which resulted in their being
exiled. As you will recall, it was the law that when one was banished from
the Empire, all his relatives, including cousins, were exiled with him. At
first, these were all sent to the Asiatic Mainland as that was not too far
away and means for ocean travel were very crude. Because it was the Empire’s
intention and desire that such exiles should live in a manner comparable to
what they had been accustomed to, and since so many were learned and
cultured, it was possible for them to establish a stable government patterned
upon that of the Motherland. Thus, another section of the Uighur Empire came
into being. As
the centuries passed, the number and quality of ships increased steadily and
as a consequence, other fair lands were discovered. Inasmuch as it was deemed
inadvisable that too many political dissenters congregate in one place, they
were sent to these more distant countries as their-numbers increased. In this
way, the British Isles, Scandinavia, and some places upon the European
Mainland were populated. Even now, after the many millennia, these people
still display some of the outstanding physical characteristics of the
aristocracy, golden hair and blue eyes, and from them descended many of the
European ruling houses, or families. Each
exiled group was free to give expression to its social and political ideas. Their
descendents were to populate vast areas that became nations, expanding and
developing new customs and practices as the memory of the Motherland faded
into the dimness of the ancient past. With the development of real ships,
trade as well as travel between the several countries was carried on and,
just as is true today, there were small numbers of those who, desirous of
change, settled in the various countries of their choice. Large
groups did not leave the Motherland until after the Empire reached the peak
of its glory. By that time, the proletarian element had so grown that it
outnumbered the citizenry and aristocracy many times over. Since they were
indifferent to the attainment of citizenship, no new members were added to
the ruling classes and consequently, they were rapidly diminishing so that
the great numbers of the proletariat presented quite a problem. To some
degree, this dilemma was mitigated by making them the rank and file of armies
in the various Provinces where they served to a large extent in the building
and repairing of public projects. Shortly
after the start of the new civilization, a close affinity developed between
the Mu and the Cari Yans. The Mu Yans being the ones to instigate the
civilization in the beginning, they naturally became the first ruling class.
With the passing of millennia, the close association of the Mu and Cari Yans
became universally recognized as the dominating influence. Ever aggressive in
pursuing their ideas, and unfailingly working as one, they swept from its
feet any incipient disagreement with their views and policies. They were
intensely patriotic and placed the welfare of the Empire before everything
else so that at first it was but natural that the other tribes—now known as
Provinces—acceded willingly to their judgment and later, this became a fixed
habit. To
have attempted to exile the proletariat would have precipitated a revolution
and, because of its numerical strength, would have resulted in the ruin of
the Empire. The Mu Yans and Cari Yans, however, decided upon a move that they
believed would not only solve this pressing problem, but also bring great
benefits to the Motherland itself. They would inaugurate a vast colonization
program, bringing all the countries thus far populated under the jurisdiction
of the Mukulian Empire. They contended that by giving them all the advantages
of advanced Lemurian culture and invention, they would more than compensate
them for what might be felt to be the loss of their standing as individual
commonwealths. Thus,
they would be enabled to place portions of the proletariat army with their
citizen officers in the various localities as occupational troops to maintain
order and see that each new colony was elevated to the Lemurian standards of
living. If this could be done through diplomacy, all well and good. If not,
the army would be used for crushing any possible resistance. They reasoned
that in this manner, they could keep drafting into the Mukulian armies more
and more of the proletariat, and could eventually bring into the Empire much
of the citizenry developed among the populace of the new colonies and
dependencies. It
must be admitted, however, that although the removal of the masses of the
Proletariat presented rather a pleasing outlook, there was still another
benefit of outstanding proportions that loomed impressively in the eyes of
the Mu and Can Yan leaders. This was the natural resources of the various
countries, which wealth they intended should be sent at specified periods to
the Motherland as tribute. That
their plans were not compatible with Cosmic Principles was not unperceived by
these leaders for they were at pains to take no one else into their
confidence. In view of the great good which would be thus accomplished, they
felt they were entirely justified, especially if the first colonizations were
brought about peaceably. All would then be aware of the benefits, and further
colonization would meet with enthusiastic approval. In much the same manner,
man has ever pacified his conscience when his own will does not coincide with
that of God. Knowing
the Uighur Empire to be patterned very closely upon the Mukulian system of
government, the Mu and Cari Yan schemers figured there would be less
antagonism to change here than in certain other commonwealths. Furthermore,
this Empire was near the Motherland and rich in natural resources. Therefore,
it was selected for their initial venture. The
first step was to take into their confidence the Empire’s ambassador to the
Uighurs who, with his highly efficient staff consisting of Mu Yans and Cari
Yans, so welcomed the idea that little time was lost in making the necessary
contacts. The Uighur ruling class felt this to be a most advantageous
arrangement, and the ambassador cleverly contrived that they send a
delegation to Hamukulia opposing the annexation of their Empire as a
dependency in exchange for some of Mukulia’s great teachers, economists, and
scientists who would introduce to them all the latest innovations. The
Empire promptly accepted this proposal and carried out its part of the
bargain with such meticulous care that the Elder Brothers of the Thirteenth
School could offer no plausible objection. Nothing had been taken by force,
and the Empire was compensating for its gains in full harmony with the wishes
of the Uighurs. The
Elder Brothers did frown upon the sending of an imposing army to preserve
“peace and order,” however. That this army was to be maintained and supported
by the colony because highly trained forces to be used in repressing outside
attack were thus placed at their disposal, did not appear to Them to be
according to Cosmic Principles. Yet, when They were informed that the real
reason was the removal of the proletariat from the Motherland, They capitulated,
and thus sprouted the seedlings, the harvest from which was to mark the end
of the grandest civilization the world has ever known. Their
first venture having met with the approbation of the Empire, the Mu and Cari
Yan leaders were quick to improve their advantage and planned to take over
that section of the Asiatic mainland now known as Indo-China. Propaganda
encouraging the enlistment of the proletariat was inaugurated; great
adventure with new and fascinating experiences on some entrancing foreign shore
were hinted at, and as a consequence, the proletariat flocked into the
recruiting stations. As a result, there was little difficulty in attaching
this section also as a Mukulian dependency, for in the face of the mighty
forces sent by the Empire, resistance would have been little less then
suicidal. Thus, another colony was established. Pending
this section of the mainland rich in many natural resources and rather
scarcely populated, the Empire embarked upon a further program of influencing
thousands of others from the proletariat to go there as colonizers, promising
to support and maintain them in their accustomed style. In no remote sense
were they to be exiles—merely an advanced group of pioneers who could return
to the Motherland at any time. There is no record of any of these pioneers
ever returning to the Motherland, although with the passing of time and
because of demands incurred by further aggressions, they came to be left very
much upon their own, the Empire failing to adhere to the promises made. And
so the Uighur Empire was extended until it included what is now Indo-China,
Siam, Burma, China, Manchuria, and Mongolia. Then
followed the invasion of what is now Ceylon and India, and here, too, the Mu
and Cari Yans met with little opposition. The usual procedure was changed in
these cases, for the Mu Yan officers were particularly attracted to
this country and many decided to settle there themselves. Returning to the
Motherland, they persuaded great numbers of their tribesmen, including some of
the citizenry and a few of the aristocracy to participate in this
colonization. They congregated in the section where the modern city of Nagpur
now stands, establishing the Nagpur Empire after the sinking of Mu, and
becoming known as the Nagas. Their descendents eventually numbered into the
millions, a large contingent of whom sailed up the Persian Gulf and into the
mouth of the Euphrates River where they erected the city of Babylon. Still
another division of them sailed up the Gulf of Aden and into the Red Sea,
eventually establishing themselves in Nubia, Upper Egypt, erecting the city
later called Maioo, a variation of Mu Yan. It was descendants of this group
who finally worked their way to the headwaters of the Nile, sailing down it
to amalgamate with other Mu Yans on the Delta in lower Egypt who had come
from Atlantis. (Farther reference will be made to these people in the section
on India and still later in the section on Egypt.) The fusion of these two
divisions of the Mu Yans resulted in the birth of the original Egyptian
Empire under Menes. The
need for transferring the proletariat from the Mukulian Empire was no longer
a pressing problem. In fact, much of the original purpose of colonization had
been accomplished inasmuch as the Empire could now send hundreds of thousands
of the proletariat to these dependencies. Had they stopped at this point,
history might have been quite different, but the spirit of colonization and
annexation with the attendant enhancement of treasure for the Empire had gotten
into their blood, and their thirst for more increased. And so it was that the
colonization of what we now know as Mexico, Central, and South America was
next planned. These
countries were well populated by this time for, once discovered, many
criminals were banished to them by the Empire. (later, exiles were sent to
Africa.) In addition to the banished criminals, many of the Opu and Beni Yans
migrated to these countries, so that, although the population was more or
less tainted by the criminal element, they were well organized and had
established customs. With the passing of time, and as is so often true, the
lower types succeeded in pulling the others down to their level, and they
became little less than savages. Most of the more savage practices of their
later descendants, the Aztecs, came down from this source, especially the
rite of human sacrifice. (At
this point, it is interesting to know that since the mountains of Mexico and
the Andes of South America are the result of the vast upheavals and cataclysms
occurring when Mu sank, what is now Mexico City was at that time practically
at sea level rather than at its present elevation of approximately a mile
above this point.) The
invasion of the troops, approximately 50,000, sent to Mexico by the Empire
met with such a well organized and desperate resistance as to be a complete
surprise to the Mukulians. They experienced the utmost difficulty in landing
and then in maintaining their ground. But when 100,000 additional soldiers
were rushed to their support, the overwhelming weight of numbers and superior
equipment of the Empire’s troops made the Mexican cause a hopeless one. They
contested hotly every foot of the Mukulian advance, however, inflaming the
troops to the point of ruthlessness in all too many instances. Determined
that these people should be made to recognize the power of the Empire, a
tribute of staggering proportions was demanded. The stubborn resistance to
this and the refusal to accept any part in the culture and benefits
temptingly offered so enraged those in control that they determined to make
such a terrifying example of the population of Mexico that no other country
would dare oppose them. In
vain did the Elder Brothers plead with the government, pointing out that
aggressions of this sort could result only in great and ultimate loss, even
to the surrender of every foot of territory so annexed. But though They
quoted Cosmic Law and the admonitions handed down from Melchizedek, the
desire for power so dominated the Mukulians that they were blinded to all
reason. On
through Mexico the victorious army forged, slaughtering without mercy all who
did not surrender upon demand. Such levies were exacted upon those who
remained after surrendering as to cause them to become little less than mere
slaves to their oppressors. Those who escaped fled through what is now
Central America, only to be pursued by their enemy. And all along the way,
the invaders established permanent garrisons and military cities. The lands
proved to be wonderfully fertile and rich in mineral deposits so that, before
long, many from the Motherland gravitated to these new countries. One
sees here that what had originally been but a slight perversion of Cosmic Law
with seemingly justifiable reason had grown to monstrous proportions for
which there was no justification. And as we know, the Empire was to bear the
inevitable repercussions of these grave violations of Universal Law. Thus,
seemingly innocent beginnings lead to irreparable and inexcusable errors, and
this applies equally to individuals or groups of individuals. With
the discovery of the great Amazonian Sea in South America which extended from
what are now Ecuador and Peru to the Atlantic Ocean, the fate of that country
was sealed. It so appealed to the Can Yans that it was decided to place them
in complete control here while the Mu Yans assumed sovereignty over all
countries to the north. Upon the shores of the landlocked Amazonian Sea, the
Can Yans established the city of Manoa, the ruins of which still stand, and
made it the capital of what they proudly proclaimed the Cari Yan Empire. At
the western end of the Sea, they cut a great canal leading to the Pacific,
lining it with stone and installing mighty locks which accommodated the
largest ships. Ruins of this canal can still be found in the vicinity of Lake
Titicaca, over thirteen thousand feet above sea level where it was forced up
when the Andes rose as Mu sank. In
Mexico and in Central American countries, the Mu Yans established many
cities, such as Uxmal, Palenque, and Chichen Itza, the ruins of which are
still to be discovered in the deep jungles. By
way of the Amazonian Sea, the Mukulian ships sailed through South America and
into the Atlantic Ocean, encountering the great island or small continent of
Poseid, since called Atlantis. After this had been taken over by the Mukulian
armies, large numbers of the Hata Yans, Opu Yans, and Xion Yans became
especially interested and migrated to it. Later, however, the Opu Yans, as a
tribe, went on to what is now Spain, then to northern Africa and later to
Egypt. (The Moors who are descendants of a branch of this tribe, later
settled in Algeria). The
Xion Yans, following the submergence of Mu, went from Atlantis to Egypt,
thence to what the Bible terms the Land of Zion in Palestine, Zion being the
phonetic spelling of the original Xion. The
Beni Yans migrated into what we call Ethiopia. The majority are reputed to
have gone westward across the Pacific, but probably almost as many went east
to Atlantis by way of the Amazonian Sea, eventually joining their brethren in
Ethiopia. The trip westward was largely by water, although ruins in
Madagascar indicate a lengthy sojourn by many Beni Yans. Those who went east,
on the other hand, left many permanent traces of lengthy stays in South
America, Atlantis, Spain, and even in the Lower Nile Delta before finally
rejoining their tribe in Ethiopia. It
must be borne in mind that, except for the Judi and Levi Yans when they were
exiled from the Empire, the Chi and Thibi Yans, the Beni Yans, and the
general exodus from Mu at the time of its destruction, none of the tribes can
be considered as moving in a body or as congregating in one place. For
example, although we spoke of the Mu Yans as moving into India, the actual
fact is that numbers from various tribes followed the armies, and the armies
themselves were composed of the proletariat of all ten tribes after the Judi
and Levi Yans were exiled. Furthermore, a mass migration to India of members
of all tribes who were followers of the priesthoods took place shortly before
the final collapse of the Mother Empire. (Lesson Ten discusses Judi-Levi Yan
exile.) Therefore,
since we can deal with these moves in only the broadest general sense, it
becomes impossible to state specifically where any particular tribe finally
located. There has been so much tribal intermarriage and intermingling that
now most people could not truthfully be said to be of any particular tribe, this
being true to some extent among even the Chi and Thibi Yans. Just as has been
true in recent wars, many of our soldiers married into foreign families, some
even returning to the country of the wife to live. So it was with the
Mukulian invaders who often married into the subjugated races and remained
there after their terms of enlistment expired. Only
the Judi and Levi Yans have persisted in their determination to keep their
tribal strains pure throughout the intervening ages. This
wandering is somewhat similar to the traveling done by the peoples of the
United States where the states can readily be considered as analogous to the
provincial tribes of the Motherland. In California particularly, we find
Indiana Clubs, Illinois Clubs, Iowa, Nebraska, Massachusetts, and so on,
where people coming from the various states in question are accustomed to
meet for great picnics, or fiestas, as they are called, and other forms of
group entertainment. Thus, a sizable number of any of the tribes might have
settled at some spot especially agreeable to them, sending back word
concerning its advantages to others of their tribesmen from time to time.
More and more of their own people would join them until they were in such
great numbers that one might accurately speak of some particular country, or
section of a country, as being populated by the Mu Yans, or the Upa Yans, or
any other particular tribe. This
“wandering of the tribes” was of truly staggering proportions and has covered
tens of thousands of years. In fact, we shall not cease to “wander” until we
are all again on Mu as Citizens of the Nation of God. |
