Page Four THE EIGHTH TRIBE September, 1974 and that “the trail does not lead hack anymore to the old and happy country, never and never,” In the Calevala of the Finns, the stag, the favorite animal of the Queen of the Underworld, lures the hero to his death. The Sumerians, (King Nimrod’s people) whose written chronicles extend hack six thousand years, lived between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. (According to the words of the legend of the Enchanted White Stag: — “Two large rivers wound their way from the mountains to the sea...”) In the latest Sumerian diggings, many reliefs, crude drawings cylindrical seals have been found which show the stag fleeing from the lion (Assir), under the protecting wings of the Bird ZU, or under the tree of life.
