twelve of their kings are given in the Greek mythology (see Murray, p. 27).  They also were of “the blood of Uranos,” the Adam of the people.  We read, in fact, that Uranos married Gaea (the earth), and had three families:  1, the Titans; 2, the Hekatoncheires; and 3, the Kyklopes.  We should conclude that the last two were maritime peoples, and I have shown that their mythical characteristics were probably derived from the appearance of their ships.  Here we have, I think, a reference to the three races:  1, the red or sunburnt men, like the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Basques, and the Berber and Cushite stocks; 2, the sons of Shem, possibly the yellow or Turanian race; and 3, the whiter men, the Aryans, the Greeks, Kelts, Goths, Slavs, etc.  If this view is correct, then we may suppose that colonies of the pale-faced stock may have been sent out from Atlantis to the northern coasts of Europe at different and perhaps widely separated periods of time, from some of which the Aryan families of Europe proceeded; hence the legend, which is found among them, that they were once forced to dwell in a country where the summers were only two months long.

From the earliest times two grand divisions are recognized in the Aryan family:  “to the east those who specially called themselves Arians, whose descendants inhabited Persia, India, etc.; to the west, the Yavana, or the Young Ones, who first emigrated westward, and from whom have descended the various nations that have populated Europe.  This is the name (Javan) found in the tenth chapter of Genesis.” (Lenormant and Chevallier, “Ancient History of the East,” vol. ii., p. 2.) But surely those who “first emigrated westward,” the earliest to leave the parent stock, could not be the “Young Ones;” they would be rather the elder brothers.  But if we can suppose the Bactrian population to have left Atlantis at an early date, and the Greeks, Latins, and Celts to have left it at a later period, then they would indeed be the “Young Ones” of the family, following on the heels of the earlier migrations, and herein we would find the explanation of the resemblance between the Latin and Celtic tongues.  Lenormant says the name of Erin (Ireland) is derived from Aryan; and yet we have seen this island populated and named Erin by races distinctly connected with Spain, Iberia, Africa, and Atlantis.

There is another reason for supposing that the Aryan nations came from Atlantis.

We find all Europe, except a small corner of Spain and a strip along the Arctic Circle, occupied by nations recognized as Aryan; but when we turn to Asia, there is but a corner of it, and that corner in the part nearest Europe, occupied by the Aryans.  All the rest of that great continent has been filled from immemorial ages by non-Aryan races.  There are seven branches of the Aryan family:  1.  Germanic or Teutonic; 2.  Slavo-Lithuanic; 3.  Celtic; 4.  Italic; 5.  Greek; 6.  Iranian or Persian; 7.  Sanscritic or Indian; and of these seven branches
