The sculptures on the walls of the palace of Angkor represent exploits of bravery and conquest, from the first invasion of Ind to the arrival of the invaders on the island of Ceylon, and to their landing in Siam. The observatory shows that Moses loved astronomy, and pursued the study of that science in the distant east as he had done in Thebes. When these noble undertakings were completed—which serve as _souvenirs_ of his visit to the country—he, no doubt, left a colony to protect them, and proceeded northward, where there are ample traces which clearly indicate the route. The country he came to was like that which is on the other side of the Bay of Bengal, inhabited by various tribes of savages. The empire he founded here was called the Empire of Brahma, and the people Brahmins. The scriptures were expounded, and the doctrine of the Lawgiver propagated, so that the natives of the country to this day relate the fall of Adam, and all the particulars regarding that memorable event. The following is a literal translation, by Dr. Mason, of some rude verses which the Karens have preserved:— “Anciently, God commanded, but Satan appeared bringing destruction. Formerly, God commanded, but Satan appeared deceiving unto death. The woman Eu and the man Tha-nai pleased not the eye of the dragon. The dragon looked on them, the dragon beguiled the woman and Tha-nai. How is this said to have happened? The great dragon succeeded in deceiving—deceiving unto death. How do they say it was done? A yellow fruit took the great dragon, and gave to the children of God; A white fruit took the great dragon, and gave to the daughter and son of God. They transgressed the commands of God, and God turned His face from them. They kept not all the words of God—were deceived, deceived unto sickness. They kept not all the law of God—were deceived, deceived unto death.” It is evident that this tradition came from a written source, and there is no other source than the books of Moses. There is in the Christian world an erroneous acceptation of the first and second chapters of the first book of Moses. Expounders of the Pentateuch, of our enlightened age, err with respect to these two chapters, and the consequence of this error is much confusion among believers. These expounders say that God created only one man at the creation of the world; and that when this man complained of _ennui_ and loneliness, then the Almighty created the woman to keep him company. This account of the creation of man has been the cause of many controversies and divisions and secessions from the true faith.
