Genesis (chap. v., 2) distinctly says that God created man male and
female, and "called their name Adam." That is to say, the people were
the Ad-ami, the people of "Ad," or Atlantis. "The author of the Book of
Genesis," says M. Schoebel, "in speaking of the men who were swallowed
up by the Deluge, always describes them as 'Haadam,' 'Adamite
humanity.'" The race of Cain lived and multiplied far away from the land
of Seth; in other words, far from the land destroyed by the Deluge.
Josephus, who gives us the primitive traditions of the Jews, tells us
(chap. ii., p. 42) that "Cain travelled over many countries" before he
came to the land of Nod. The Bible does not tell us that the race of
Cain perished in the Deluge. "Cain went out from the presence of
Jehovah;" he did not call on his name; the people that were destroyed
were the "sons of Jehovah." All this indicates that large colonies had
been sent out by the mother-land before it sunk in the sea.

Across the ocean we find the people of Guatemala claiming their descent
from a goddess called At-tit, or grandmother, who lived for four hundred
years, and first taught the worship of the true God, which they
afterward forgot. (Bancroft's "Native Races," vol. iii., p. 75.) While
the famous Mexican calendar stone shows that the sun was commonly called
tonatiuh but when it was referred to as the god of the Deluge it was
then called Atl-tona-ti-uh, or At-onatiuh. (Valentini's "Mexican
Calendar Stone," art. Maya Archaeology, p. 15.)

We thus find the sons of Ad at the base of all the most ancient races of
men, to wit, the Hebrews, the Arabians, the Chaldeans, the Hindoos, the
Persians, the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Mexicans, and the Central
Americans; testimony that all these races traced their beginning back to
a dimly remembered Ad-lantis.
