Note 17 — Chapter XXI

This confirms very precisely the hypothesis made earlier by Father Ravennes. The Red Gods of the Pou-Kas would, according to this, be a preserved branch of the great antediluvian race of the sons of Ad. From these, according to the sacred writings of India, the different races that peopled the earth had their origin: first the red race and then the yellow race. The first included, the Rmoahal, the Zlavakis, the Zoltecs. The Rmoahal, who are evidently the red gods of Lursac's history are described as follows: "This was the most ancient race—four or five million years old. The men were walnut brown and very tall—ten to twelve feet. At the time of the great earth cataclysm they emigrated towards Upper Asia."
