The Chronicle of Akakor
The quotations from the Chronicle of Akakor, printed as inserts, were recited by Tatunca Nara, who
knew them by heart. According to him, the actual chronicle was written on wood, skins, later also
parchment, and is guarded by the priests in the Temple of the Sun, the greatest heritage of the Ugha
Mongulala. Bishop Grotti was the only white man ever to see it, and he took various excerpts with him.
After his mysterious death, the documents vanished. Tatunca Nara thinks that the bishop hid them or
that they are stored in the archives of the Vatican.

I have checked most carefully on all the information in the Introduction and the Appendix regarding its
content of truth. The quotations from contemporary historians come from Spanish source material, and I
translated them myself. I have only added my own considerations in the Appendix to help the reader to
better understand. For this reason, I have not dwelt on the theories about astronauts or divine creatures
as possible predecessors of human civilization. The emphasis of this book is on the history and
civilization of the Ugha Mongulala in contrast with that of the White Barbarians.
Does Akakor exist at all? Is there a written history of the Ugha Mongulala? My own doubts have made
me divide the book into two strictly separate parts. In The Chronicle of Akakor I have only passed on
the report of Tatunca Nara. The Appendix contains the material I have gathered from the respective
sources. My own contribution is not much compared with the history of a mysterious people, with
Former Masters, divine laws, subterranean settlements, and the like. This is a story that may have
originated from a legend but may yet be confirmed. And the reader must himself decide whether this is
a cleverly invented report, based on the gaps of inadequate historical writing, or a piece of true history,
written down "in good words, in clear script."

THE BOOK OF THE JAGUAR

This is the jaguar. Mighty is his leap and powerful his paw. He is the lord of the forests. All animals are
his subjects. He brooks no resistance. He metes out terrible punishment. He destroys the disobedient and
devours their flesh.

1. THE REALM OF THE GODS

600,000 B.C. to 10,481 BC.

When humanity’s history began is a disputed question. According to the Bible, God created the world in
six days for his own honor and for the good of mankind. He then fashioned man from dust and gave him
the breath of life. But according to the Popol Vuh, the Book of the Maya, man first emerged only in the
fourth divine creation, after three previous worlds had been destroyed by awesome catastrophes.
Traditional historiography puts the actual start of human history at 600,000 B.C., with the first primitive
humans, who knew neither tools nor the use of fire. Around 80,000 B.C. they were succeeded by
Neanderthal man, who had advanced tremendously, and knew the use of fire and had developed burial
rites. Prehistory, the early history of man, begins in 50,000 B.C.; according to archaeological findings, it
has been divided into the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages. During the Stone Age, man was a hunter and
gatherer; he hunted mammoth, wild horses, and reindeer. With the slow regression of the ice cap, he
gradually followed the animals that were migrating to the north: Agriculture and domesticated animals
were still unknown to him. However, his paintings on the walls of the sheltering caves are evidence of a
surprisingly sophisticated art based on magical-religious hunting rites. It is assumed that around 25,000
B.C. the first central Asian tribes crossed the Bering Straits to America.
