BY J. W. MINNICH. NI’MUI.K (INK, Dr. Le Plongeon’s collection of writings, pictures and sculpturing of this lost people has as yet failed to enable us to identify them. Prof. Saville s discoveries have as yet thrown no light on the subject. Ihe only thing of which we are assured, as is proven by the relics thus far unearthed or brought to light, is that the original bu.lders of those vast cities of Mexico were not of the socalled race of Indians as we know them or have record of numbers of any of the socalled mixed races of the earth, but that they were men of pure Adamic and Noachiau strain. But where did they come from? how 7 long ago? and hosv long a period of time elapsed between their first settle ment on this continent and their final utter extinction ? And last but not the least ho w long have they been extinct? Leaving aside for futyre discussion and detenn illation, last of three questions, we will confine ourselves to the first of tile series. In the first place, in the absence of better proof in support of his showing that the Mayas were the first people to inhabit the world, in a civilized state, we must dis : agiee with Dr. Le Plongeon, as his assumption (sincere no doubt) is totally at variance with the bio lical story of the distribution of the human family over the earth after the deluge. The bible is the only work wherein the storv of the dis tribution of the human family is given in anything approximating a detailed accounting. Ancient recorded history existed centuries before the first book of the bible was written, excepting of course the antedeluvian, ‘ Book of Enoch.” But such records as existed prior to the bible were but govern men tal records of contemporaneous people and had no reference to the distribution of the human family. The rums of Palenque and Uxmal, clearly indicate that the founders were of the Caucasian or Noachiac family. Le Plongeon’s' collection proves this, and also that the works and sculpturings, heiroglyphics, etc., have a strong resemblance to the Egyptian Le Plongeon cred its the Mayas with the most an cient civilization and the Egyptian with being an offshoot of that. I an inclined to the belief that the learned explorer has been carried away by his success in the discov ery of the seat of an ancient, un known, and undreamed of empire, and his enthusiasm Has led him to premature conclusions, unsuppor ted as they are. by evidence con clusive and indisputable. His theory of the superior antiquity of the Maya civilization is after all only a theory, and unsound. Now let us reverse this theory of the superior antiquity of the Mayas and start out from the other side of the Atlantic. In admitting the once existence of Atlantis, contig uous to, or within short sail of Eu rope and Africa, it would but make the question easier to decide of “Where did they come from?” Supposing that Atlantis did exist as the ancients described it, as a vast island or continent, it would then be easy to account for the presence of Egyptian architecture on our continent, and with the ar chitecture the civilization which produced it. In order to make it plainer, it will be necessary to go oack to the bihical account of the settlement of Egypt after the de luge. From the record of the bible, we learti that the sons of iiam, the son of Noah, took up their abode in Egypt. Hence the ancient and primitive Egyptians were the progenitors of those an cient navigatois who carried with them to the uttermost parts of the earth in the remote past the civi lization of the mother country. The art of shipbuilding, handed down from father to son from their great ancestor, the first ma rine architect on record, stood them in good Mead, as they began to build vessels with which to ex plore the coasts of the Red Sea.and the Mediterianean. and to plant colonies on their shores, extending their cruiser further and further, decade after decade, and genera tion after generation. In the course of time they debouched into the oceans. Their success in nav igating the lesser seas ' red in them a confidence in their ability to nav igate any body of water on the face of tlie globe. As time went by an I the traffic between the mother country and her colonies increased it necessitated the build ing of more and larger ships. With these larger ships they did not fear to venture to any distance. Sup j osing that Atlantis existed as a leality, according to the very scanty information to lie had, it 1 Facts °n(t Theory <y)/ Kcgnri 1 u; the fi) Distribution ot* Mankind. was not very far from Gibraltar to its shores. Being a large island or continent in inid-ocean, those ancient mariners would have cir cumnavigated it. They would have colonized it as they colonized the shores of the inland seas near home,and in time expeditions would have left its shores (preferably the western) on voyages of discovery and 111 time have reached the shores of our continent, and here again founded colonies which fin ally developed into one of the mest extensive and highly civilized empires of ancient times, the mins of which are today exciting the wonder and admiration of the ar chaelogical world. It would seem then, that after Atlantis betook itself to the ocean’s depths 2000 fathoms below the surface, without the formality of leaving its future address, all communication be tween the old wond and the new Ceased, each no doubt believing that the other had like Atlantis, betaken itself to the realm of crabs and conger eels. But Atlantis, the “submerged Atlantis” may be left out uf the question entirely and be treated as a ray til. It is far more logical to presume that those anci- nt ma riners having txpl red fully the coasts of Europe and Africa on the west, and having even reached the Azores became like Columbus, con vinced that there was more land beyond the ocean, and like Colum bus organized an expedition of a greater or lesser number of ships and people and made sail for new and unknown lands. Eilher'from Egypt or from one of her depend encies, or perhaps several depend encies, came those hatdy and ven turesome explorers. Emerging from the strait ot Gibraltar they took'from there a wes’erlv course, as. did Columbus, many centuries later, and follo.v ug about the same course, in the course of months reacned the Antilles, and pushing through, entered the Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean sea, preferably the former. When near the coast of Mexico, perhaps in sight of it, they were caught by one of the early “northers,” and driven into and on the sea shore of the Gulf of Campeche. Driven ashore no doubt, and part of tne expedition wrecked, the survivors finding themselves in a land where everything grew to perfection in its wild stat£, with a climate much resembling that of their native land, and being effectually burred from proceeding further west by sea, the survivors set about estab lishing themselves in the new land. The establishment of a prosperous and selfsupporting colony in that favored spot was as child’s play compared to the difficulties which beset the earlier colonists of later times on the Atlantic coast. They were the first comers, 4000 to 5000 B. C. Until their advent no man had trod the virgin soil, no man was there to dispute with them tne possession of territory. Undis turbed by the presence of an en emy of their own species, they were left to develop in peace. The colony grew in time from a hun dred or less to thousands, and as the decades sped by they increased from per cent, to two fold, from two fold to hundreds, from liuhdreds to thousands and tens, fifties and hundreds of thousands. In the course of a trio of centuries mil lions dotted the land with their homes, villages, towns and cities. The first brought with them the civilization and arts of the parent country, and taught their descend ants, who, in their turn, taught the succeeding generation. Civiliza tion grew anci flourished, and a mighty empire (whose outposts were pushed to the great lakes on the north and to ti e La Plata on the south) was established. And here is the point and subject,where in we take Lsue with Dr. Le Plon geon concerning the source of the civilization of the old world, so called. Instead of the “Mayas” having been the “first civilized peo ple of the whole world,” they, or whoever were the founders of this vast ancient empire, were an off shoot of the n.< re ancient civiliza tion of the east, or old world. And if we choose to look into the past history of the 1 eOples, who accord ing to the bih cal reci r 1 concern ing the distril ution of the descend ants of Noah and his sons, were the first builders of cities, we can easily see the similarity of the his tory of the peoples o f thetwo wide ly separated continents. Then rise to oj ulence, grandeur ad magnified ce "• rivalled even in this age of Iril iant achieyement, their long ma nt lined reign of the j highest known civilization, their decline, fall and final obliteration. Many suppose that this people were finally swept away by the f savages which descended upon them from the frozen plains of the north. Since contend that this ancient civilization was de veloped as these same savages pro gressed southward during ages. But why it should have finally Gis appeared, ; n i the causes leading to its extinction, no one has ven tured a positive opinion as yet. There is not an iota of proof ttiat these savages developed in them selves, this grand civilization of a remote past in ’heir progress south ward. It is far more reasonable to suppose that this advanced civ ilization was brought into the country of Yucatan by emigrants and colonists from the old wot Id, Egypt, or dependencies. The ar chitecture of the new world beats too strong a resemblance to that of the Egypt of 5000 years ago to per mit us to believe that it was evolv ed from the savage mind. The history of all savage and barbarous peoples are against such an as sumption. But why it ceased to be improved upon and finally ceas ed to advance, and became a thing of the past, is a problem \et un solved. After spteading west, north and south and attaining the highest degiee uf piosperity throughout a lung period of peace ful pursuits, this people, through a change of luiers, was plunged into internal strife, and tne tin piie divided into numerous war ring factious wherein as in eveiv Case, the weaker went 10 the wall In those days such strifes had hut one object, complete subjugation, often accompanied by utter ex termination. All progress was ar rested. A long period oi warfare, extending thiough centuries decim ated the populations. Every city was against its neighbor. War and pestilence, its first born, and probably famine, made them an easy prey to the vast hordes of savages who swooped down on them from the north. Tnese in I their turn learned some things of | their captives, and advanced in ' some degree toward civilization, but the leaven was insufficient to enable them to rise to the level of their predecessors. The civilization found by Cortez was iat inferior to that of the an cient builder of Uxmal, Palenq le, and the late discovery by Prof. Saville, Zichilla. That Atlantis existed we have every rea.-ou to be lieve, that it disappeared beneath the waters of the Atlantic is an un tenable theory. But that it did exist on this continent, we may ac cept for a fact as evideuce by the ruins of Mexico. It may be ar gued that at such a remote period in the world’s history, no ships were built which could have cross ed the ocean with any number of people and provisions and stores for such a long voyage. Why not? There is nothing improbable in assuming that those early peo ples had not entirely lost knowledge of the ark, and that they built ships larger than any ancient craft we have any knowledge of. There is not the least doubt that like many of the ancient arts, ship building fell into decadence and perhaps for a time ceased altogeth er, only to be reviewed in a crude state centuries later. There is re cord of one or two ships of ancient times, to which the Caravals of Columbus would have served only as “lighters.” Besides, we have evidence that in more recent times the ocean has been crossed and re crossed in safety in very small craft. Lief Ericson’s boats of 800 years ago were merely open boats, only partly decked, if at all. And there is no proof whatever that the ships of the navigators of ten 01 five thousand years ago were of any less capacity or any less sea worthy and safe than his. Then why should they not also have reached our shores and in a far more favorable climate, and under far more favorable conditions have established themselves and become a powerful empire? Long periods of warfare among themselves aid against each other finally destroy ed all commerce until communica tion with the old world ceased, and they became lost, “The Lost Atlant s.” J. W.
