The greater the number of the sue
ceeding phases of civilization the more
even must be the average length Of
each and thus resemble the general
length Of human periods. 1t is to be
seen that the two central European
periods, those of Hallstadt and of La
Tene, together embrace about n thou
sand years, an average of 500 for each.
The cultured periods of Egypt may be
even longer.
The development Of Peruvian civili-
cation, accepting ON the average five
successive periods, would result in a
qualification of cultures representing
between 1000 and 5000 years. About
the year 1000 B. g., at the time when
Solomon built his temple, the early,
Americans in Peru reared their mighty
structures to tine glory Of a creator god.
Civilization iii America would beyond
all doubt have worked itself up to a
high plane at some time and might
have accomplished alone peculiar
but certainly brilliant development
