English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 7/10

If these propositions can be proved, they will solve many problems which now perplex mankind; they will confirm in many respects the statements in the opening chapters of Genesis; they will widen the area of human history; they will explain the remarkable resemblances which exist between the ancient civilizations found upon the opposite shores of the Atlantic Ocean, in the old and new worlds; and they will aid us to rehabilitate the fathers of our civilization, our blood, and our fundamental ideas-the men who lived, loved, and labored ages before the Aryans descended upon India, or the Phoenician had settled in Syria, or the Goth had reached the shores of the Baltic.

만약 이 명제들이 증명될 수 있다면, 그것들은 현재 인류를 당혹스럽게 하는 많은 문제들을 해결할 것이며, 창세기 첫 장들에 나오는 진술들을 여러 면에서 확인해 줄 것이고, 인류 역사의 영역을 넓혀 줄 것이며, 대서양 양쪽 해안의 구세계와 신세계에서 발견된 고대 문명들 사이에 존재하는 놀라운 유사성들을 설명해 줄 것이고, 아리아인들이 인도로 내려오거나 페니키아인들이 시리아에 정착하거나 고트족이 발트해 연안에 도달하기 훨씬 이전의 시대에 살고 사랑하며 노동했던 사람들, 즉 우리 문명과 혈통과 근본적인 사상의 선조들을 복원하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다.
