....Although Ab'Ram prepared strong defences at Hebron in the event of enemies approaching from the north or east, the Book of Genesis evinces his early and strong interest in the land of Havilah, which, according to it, was situated in the Garden of Eden. In this same region, among others, was the famous city of Ai, also called Hai, or Aiath, or Ajalon. In close proximity to Ai was Bethel, the place of the Stone of Jacob, while nearby was Beersheba, and not far distant was the Philistine city of Gath, its stronghold and capital. In addition to these there flourished not far distant another city of great fame, providing a link with the Atlantis of Plato, namely Gades, the city of Gad, known also as Tartessus or as Tarshish. Its earliest Bible name was Sodom, destroyed by the hand of God by means of fire from heaven. The name Sodom signifies the city of the south.

It is this region I propose to examine for further clues to the pre-history of Britain, as culled from Biblical, Greek, and native sources.

When Ab'Ram and Lot parted company the latter patriarch moved to the plain of Jordan and termed it "The Garden of the Lord," pitching his tent towards Sodom, whose descendants, according to the same Book of Genesis, became the Ammonites and Moabites. Of the important ( Page 52 ) tribe of Gad, whose totem was the Old Lion, and who were Cushites (or Chaldeans), we are told that its later borders reached to Jazer (or Gaza), all Gilead and half the land to Aroer before (or opposite) Rabbah.
