The ancient Hittites, with their pale skins and broad heads, were descendants of the Andonite stock, dispersed throughout central and southeastern Europe and reinforced by arrivals from Asia Minor. [1]
The Hittites, Assyrians, and Philistines constantly raided tribes in Palestine, prompting Abraham and Lot to seek refuge in a hilly fastness near Salem. [2] The Hittites, better-organized and highly civilized, often defeated the Arabian Semites in the northern Promised Land. [3] Hittite teachers from Salem spread the cult to Adamson's descendants around the lake of Van, later reaching Europe, Asia, and even the British Isles. [4]
