Influenza
The Land of our Aryan Ancestors.
About 1400 B.C.—“The summer months are two, and the winter months are
ten, and these are cold; and when the winter encompasses (us) with the
worst of its annoyances it is cold for the trees and the flowers, cold
for the cattle, horses and birds, and cold for the freezing-waters
filled with the falling snow.”
Quoted from the sacred record of the Persians, kept by the “Magi,” the
priests of the Persians—the Wise Men of the East; of the same class as
those who carried to Mary, the mother of Christ, gold, frankincense and
myrrh (aromatic germicides to protect the infant Christ from mumps,
measles and tonsilitis, etc., and also to purify the air of the living
quarters).
The location of a land with only two summer months must have been far to
the north of the Caspian Sea, on the banks of the River Rha or the
Volga. Petrograd, in 60 degrees N. Lat., has an average annual
temperature of 38 degrees Fahr.

Farthest East in Polynesia.
Rapanui, or Easter Island: Seen by Captain Alvaro Mendaña, June 24,
1595; visited by the Dutch Admiral, Jacob Roggeveen, and his crew on
Easter Sunday, 1722, hence the name of the island, Easter.
Inhabitants are today Polynesians who came from the Marquesa Islands,
some 1800 miles to the northwest of Rapanui. A translation of one of
their tablets bearing a hieroglyphic inscription relates as follows:
“In that happy land, that beautiful land, where Romaha lived before with
his beloved Hangora; that beautiful land that was governed by the Gods
from heaven; who lived in the water when it was cold; where the Black
and White pointed Spider would have climbed to heaven, but was stopped
by the falling snow and the freezing cold.”
This very unique narrative probably harks back to northwest India;
Ramachandra, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, the Polynesian Tangaroa,
and the black and white spider is the winter solstice, similar to the
Hawaiian astronomy, Ke alanui polohiwa a ke Kuukuu (the black luminous
orbit of the Spider).
