Mariners people

  • The blue men were hunters, fishers, and food gatherers; they were expert boatbuilders. 80:3.6
  • When Adam elected to leave the first garden to the Nodites unopposed, he and his followers could not go west, for the Edenites had no boats suitable for such a marine adventure. 76:0.1
  • About 12,000 B.C. a brilliant tribe of mariners Andites migrated to Crete. 80:7.2
  • The Danubians became mother worshipers as the result of the work of the missionaries from Crete. These tribes later amalgamated with groups of Andonite sailors who came by boats from the coast of Asia Minor, and who were also mother worshipers. 80:8.5
  • early commerce, started by Andites, was facilitated by the use of boats 79:1.4 81:3.6-7
  • Before the last Andites were driven out of the Euphrates valley, many of their brethren had entered Europe as adventurers, teachers, traders, and warriors. Some of man’s very early maritime commerce was established on Mediterranean, where blue men from the north and the Saharans from the south met Nodites and Adamites from the east. 80:1.1
  • The Mediterranean coastlands did not become permeated by the Andites until the great invasions of 2500 B.C. Land traffic and trade were nearly suspended. This interference brought about the great expansion of sea traffic and trade; it was in full swing about 4,500 years ago. 80:9.9
  • Not long after conquering India, the Dravidian Andites lost their racial and cultural contact with Mesopotamia, but the later opening up of the sea lanes and the caravan routes re-established these connections 79:3.2
