And Tages was the son
of Thevetat, before he became the grandson of the Etruscan
Jupiter-Tinia. Have the Western Orientalists tried to find out the
connection between all these Dragons and Serpents; between the "powers
of Evil" in the cycles of epic legends, the Persian and the Indian, the
Greek and the Jewish; between the contests of Indra and the giant; the
Aryan Nagas and the Iranian Aji Dahaka; the Guatemalian Dragon and the
Serpent of Genesis--&c. &c. &c.? Professor Max Muller discredits the
connection. So be it. But the fourth race of men, "men" whose sight
was unlimited and who knew all things at once, the hidden as the
unrevealed, is mentioned in the Popol-Vuh, the sacred books of the
Guatemalians; and the Babylonian Xisuthrus, the far later Jewish Noah,
the Hindu Vaivaswata, and the Greek Deukalion, are all identical with
the great Father of the Thlinkithians, of Popol-Vuh who, like the rest
of these allegorical (not mythical) Patriarchs, escaped in his turn and
in his days, in a large boat at the time of the last great Deluge--the
submersion of Atlantis.
