The Dawning Oh the Age Oh Aquarius Since the beginning of time, man, in his eternal human thirst for knowledge has sought to control his destiny. In his primitive environment, man was terrified by things we now call everyday simplicity. The mere fact that the sun went down caused daily sacrifices in some primitive cultures, and it has been theorized by some historians that certain primitive European cultures made sacifices to try and stop annual eclipses. The Greeks, and others, in their search turned to the stars. They named the various constellations after beautiful and awesome things which lived on the earth they knew. Through the ages these superstitions slowly died. Astrology, however, survived the onslaught of Christianity and remained. The ancients, who were the original perpetuators of astrology, believed that the stars pointed toward a time when all hatred and violence would cease, and man would live in peace with his brother. This millennium they called the Age of Aquarius. According to the stars, this age would be preceded by great wars, then by great technical strides. In our own history World Wars I and II were followed by giant leaps in all fields. Thus, we of the Hualapai staff, in the hope that this Age is material- izing now, present you with this book.
