"When a report of a discovery ifl the Caspian region was shown td me, in a flash I had hit upon the secret. • "These people, one of the six race$ to conquer Egypt, came from thej Caspian shores. The" dagger and pins show their culture an arts, . "We have made, ais a result of our discoveries, a consolidation of history."
