The early history of China indicates contact with a superior race.  “Fuh-hi, who is regarded as a demi-god, founded the Chinese Empire 2852 B.C.  He introduced cattle, taught the people how to raise them, and taught the art of writing.” ("American Cyclopaedia,” art.  China.) He might have invented his alphabet, but he did not invent the cattle; he must have got them from some nation who, during many centuries of civilization, had domesticated them; and from what nation was he more likely to have obtained them than from the Atlanteans, whose colonies we have seen reached his borders, and whose armies invaded his territory!  “He instituted the ceremony of marriage.” (Ibid.) This also was an importation from a civilized land.  “His successor, Shin-nung, during a reign of one hundred and forty years, introduced agriculture and medical science.  The next emperor, Hwang-ti, is believed to have invented weapons, wagons, ships, clocks, and musical instruments, and to have introduced coins, weights, and measures.” (Ibid.) As these various inventions in all other countries have been the result of slow development, running through many centuries, or are borrowed from some other more civilized people, it is certain that no emperor of China ever invented them all during a period of one hundred and sixty-four years.  These, then, were also importations from the West.  In fact, the Chinese themselves claim to have invaded China in the early days from the north-west; and their first location is placed by Winchell near Lake Balkat, a short distance east of the Caspian, where we have already seen Aryan Atlantean colonies planted at an early day.  “The third successor of Fuh-hi, Ti-ku, established schools, and was the first to practise polygamy.  In 2357 his son Yau ascended the throne, and it is from his reign that the regular historical records begin.  A great flood, which occurred in his reign, has been considered synchronous and identical with the Noachic Deluge, and to Yau is attributed the merit of having successfully battled against the waters.”

There can be no question that the Chinese themselves, in their early legends, connected their origin with a people who were destroyed by water in a tremendous convulsion of the earth.  Associated with this event was a divine personage called Niu-va (Noah?).

Sir William Jones says: 

“The Chinese believe the earth to have been wholly covered with water, which, in works of undisputed authenticity, they describe as flowing abundantly, then subsiding and separating the higher from the lower ages of mankind; that this division of time, from which their poetical history begins, just preceded the appearance of Fo-hi on the mountains of Chin.” ("Discourse on the Chinese; Asiatic Researches,” vol. ii., p. 376.)

The following history of this destruction of their ancestors vividly recalls to us the convulsion depicted in the Chaldean and American legends:
