18,000 B.C. - Human Art / Spain - �"There were paintings discovered in northern Spain [Altimira cave] of bison, deer, and other animals, in red and black, drawn perhaps as long as 20,000 years ago."

18,000 B.C. - Babylon �- "The history of Babylonia is made up of the histories of the Akkadians, the Sumerians, the Chaldaens, the Assyrians, the Medes, and the Persians; only one of which today exists 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, consists of the reading of a few tablets and inscriptions written in cuneiform and then matching up the translations with the Biblical Legends. The furthest any of these go back is 5,000 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 Semitic. After the Akkad settlement was firmly established, the Akkadians worked inland up the Euphrates River and became known as Sumerians. Herodotus, Lib. 1-181, says; Berosus, who was an early Babylonian priest-historian, wrote, 'the first inhabitants of Babylonia were foriegners of another race.' Berosus then proceeds to establish distinctions between the foriegners and the Babylonians 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 from the persian gulf.' " [Col. James Churchward]

18,000 B.C. - Sumeria �- "Sumer is a Naga-Maya word meaning 'flat lands or plains.' From this they took or were given the name Sumerians, plainsmen or men of the plains. It is thus seen that the Sumerians and the 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 1,300 B.C., tells us that 'these colonists...of the Euphrates settlement' [Akkadians and Sumerians] 'called their settlement Babylonia and their chief city, Babylon.' Babylon was also '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.' " [Col. James Churchward]

18,000 B.C. - Akkadians - �"According to popular history: About 3,000 B.C. a group of people called Akkadians drifted into the Tigris-Euphrates valley along the northern fringes of Sumeria. They spoke a language [Semitic] entirely unrelated to Sumerian."

* Trivia: "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 Akkadians. Temple records in India speak of this settlement but give no date. Contemporary records have dates of about 18,000 years ago." [Col. James Churchward]

18,000 B.C. - Chaldaens �- "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. This enclosure was called Chaldi. Later, Chaldi was the name given to the learned class and their colleges." [Col. James Churchward]

B.C. - Semites - �"The Sumerians and Akkadians were attacked and conqured by a Semitic people coming down from the North. These Semitics finding the civilization of the Akkadians and Sumerians so far in advance 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 conquers and intermarried. Their scientists were given the greatest honors. So successfully did this work that in the absorbtion the Akkadians and Sumerians were never known again as a separate people. They disappeared from history. There is no mystery about the origin of the Semitic race which came down 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." [Col. James Churchward]

B.C. - Art - "Reportedly, 'Classical scholars know about the orientalising periods in Greek art; and near eastern specialists are familar with Minoan, Mycenaean, Hellinistic and still later Greek influence in Western Asia and Egypt. The interconnections antedate not only the earliest Hebrew and Greek writings, but also the earliest texts of Sumer and Egypt."
