Keane, Man : Past and Present), on the fact that the weaker sex was generally believed to be the more available PROGRESS IN TURANIAN ASIA 103 It is, however, to be observed that this transformation in Western Asia of scientific and magical into priestly hierarchies seems to have required the immigration of ...a race more religiously inclined than the Turanian ; and in general, arrived at an advanced stage of intellectual culture, the Hamites have proved themselves as much more conscious of the need of a doctoral clergy than the Turanians as the Aryans and Shemites, arrived at an advanced stage of intellectual culture, have proved them- selves more conscious of the need of a pastoral clergy than the Hamites. Nor is it necessary to suppose that its famous clerical priesthood appeared in Babylonia im- mediately on the Cushite invasion ; indeed, the tradition of the Tower of Babel, the raising of which is attributed to the Noachite settlers in that country, is that of a great work undertaken by men who trusted more in their own knowledge and ability than in their religion, and points consequently to a time when the masters of science had not yet donned the priestly robe, though most probably the magician's.
