CHALDEAN LINK
Tribe in Himalayas
SECRETS OF LONGEVITY London, December 7. Miss Crossley Batts, who recently arrived in England from India, says that a few years ago she found an old manuscript of the Buddhist library at Peking about a lost tribe 13,000 ft. up in the Himalayas. She resolved to find the tribe, but repeatedly failed. At last she succeeded.
“They are survivors of the ancient Chaldeans,” she states. “Their average span of life is from 140 to 150 years. They number six hundred. I did not see a sign of disease or debility. They must possess strange secrets valuable to the Western world. Their language was unintelligible, but I have since discovered that It was Chaldean, which I have learnt. I am returning to stay longer to try to discover their secrets.”
