Damascus 1310 B.C.<br />

A group <strong>of</strong> our characters appear somewhat unexpectedly in the Hittite Empire <strong>of</strong> King Separer(Theo), who then ruled over Syria, a considerable<br />

portion <strong>of</strong> Asia Minor, and also part <strong>of</strong> Mesopotamia, having his capital at Damascus. This is the only time in which any group taken<br />

from our band <strong>of</strong> servers has been known to enter into the Hittite nation. They were a strange-looking people, different from all others whom<br />

we have encountered-brachycephalous, with dark eyes and dark hair, and long aquiline noses, showing a curious mixture <strong>of</strong> Aryan and Man<br />

golian characteristics. Their architure was low and heavy, and they built their walls enormously thick. They were clever people in many ways,<br />

at metal work <strong>of</strong> all kinds, and it is noteworthy that their inscriptions were all carved in relief instead <strong>of</strong> being cut into stone. They wrote in clumsy<br />

hieroglyphics, which read backwards and forwards in alternate lines--the top line running from right to left, the next from left to right, and<br />

so on.<br />

Separer was a mighty king, who treated on equal terms with the Pharoah <strong>of</strong> Egypt, and concluded an <strong>of</strong>fensive and defensive alliance with<br />

him. The connection <strong>of</strong> our group with him and his race is practically confined to one family--four brothers, cousins <strong>of</strong> the king, and their children--some<br />

forty people altogether. The speed work for which they appeared in this incarnation is not clear, though there can be no doubt<br />

that they were good citizens, and eminently useful to the nation <strong>of</strong> which they forme a part.<br />
