They may be the ELEI or ancient Persians, the _Peris_ or _Pelis_ of Iran, ancient beneficent beings. The Arabs and all the Semetic nation have preserved that name for God, in EL, _Allah_, _Baal_, or made of it their universal article _El_, _Al_, meaning HE or _the Being_: whence also the Pelagic and Italic articles IL, L, LI, &c., the Spanish EL. By the frequent usual change of L into R, we have ER root found in many languages for men: forming the _Heros_ of Greece, sons of God; the HER or lords of the Germanic tribes, the _Seres_ of Thibet or ancient Chinese, _Ergaz_ men of the African Atlantes. _Erk_ man in Turkish or Turan Atlantes, akin to _Egregori_! In America these similar indications are widely spread, and among the most ancient nations. EL means man in Tolteca and Mexican, OL is old and _Yollo_ a spirit or angel. EL is son and tribe in Hayti, _Elohi_ is land and spirit in Tzuluki. _Yol_ means _man_ in the Atakapa language of the Cado or Nachez group. _Pele_ means the same in Lulé of South America; but _Peli_ is soul in Chilian, which approximate to _Peleg_ and _Lelex_, ancient Pelagian tribes. The connections with TEL, TAL, TOL, pervade the whole of ancient America, and lead to assimilate with the TOL-tecas and TALAS, American Atlantes, the Tulans or Asiatic Atlantes, the _Auto-Toles_ or African Atlantes. These lead to the giants of both hemispheres or ancient men of renown. But the subject must be postponed, and will be found resumed in the history of Austral and Central America, where these atlantes and giants are found. Returning from this digression; we may resume the geological periods of America previous to mankind, in the six successive epochas, already mentioned. 1. Period. Primitive, aquatic and before life. 2. Period of aquatic organic life. 3. Period of aquatic cataclysms. 4. Period of the dry land or islands. 5. Period of terrestrial life. 6. Period of terrestrial volcanoes. After which begins the human period, till the flood. The question whether man or men appeared together, or before or after, in both hemispheres; must be left undecided. Some writers have even placed _Eden_ the GN of Moses in America and the Hesperidian Islands of old; but as the Imalaya mountains, valleys and plains, are higher than the Andes, older in geological series, and more suitable for human life, not being volcanic: it is extremely probable that they were the cradle of mankind, rather than America.
