The Chronicle of Akakor
The Ugha Mongulala survived the second Great Catastrophe in the history of mankind. Protected in the
underground dwellings of their Former Masters, they observed the destruction of the earth with awe.
Whereas the Chosen Servants knew they were innocent of the first Great Catastrophe, they now held
each other responsible for the second terrible event. Quarrels and fighting broke out. A civil war began
in lower Akakor which would have led to my people’s extinction if an event had not occurred that had
long since been predicted by the priests. When the need was greatest, the Former Masters returned.
And their return starts a new chapter in the history of the Ugha Mongulala, the second book in the
Chronicle of Akakor. The first book finishes with the deeds of Madus, a courageous warrior of the Ugha
Mongulala who, even in the most difficult hour, had not lost his faith in the bequest of the Gods, as it is
written down in the chronicle:
"Madus dared to take the road up to the earth’s surface. Fearing neither storm nor water, he went up. He
gazed on the devastated country in awe. He saw no people and no plants-only frightened animals and
birds which flew over the endless expanse of water until they grew tired and dropped to drown in the
floods. This Madus saw. And he grew sad and angry at the same time. He tore tree stumps out of the
flooded ground. He gathered driftwood. He built a raft to help the animals. He took a pair of each: two
jaguars, two serpents, two tapirs, two falcons. And the rising waters drove his raft higher and higher, up
the mountains to the top of Mount Akai, the mountain of destiny of the Chosen Tribes. Here Madus let
the animals land and the birds take to the air. And when, after thirteen moons, the waters receded again
and the sun dispersed the clouds, he returned to Akakor and told about the end of the terrible era of
blood."

THE BOOK OF THE EAGLE

This is the eagle. Mighty are his wings and powerful his claws. His eye glances imperiously over the
land. He is above man. He cannot be vanquished or killed. For thirteen days he rises into the sky, and
for thirteen days he flies to meet the rising sun. Truly, he is sublime.

1. THE RETURN OF THE GODS
3166 B.C.—2981 B.C.

The Mayan calendar begins in 3113 B.C. and ends on A.D. December 24, 2011. Traditional
historiography places the beginning of historical events around 3000 B.C. The period up to the
Germanic migrations (A.D. 375) is antiquity, beginning with the rise of the high civilizations in the
river oases of the lower Nile and between the Euphrates and Tigris where man develops into historical
existence. The high points in Oriental history are marked by large empires ruled by forceful, aggressive
monarchs. Spiritual life is restricted to organized religion. The Orient is the cradle of writing, the civil
service, and an astonishingly efficient technology. In the meantime, man in Europe and Asia remains on
the Neolithic level. Different dates are suggested for the beginning of American civilizations. The
British explorer Niven estimates that the first urban settlements by the ancestors of the Aztecs were
founded around 3500 B.C. According to the Peruvian archaeologist Daniel Ruiz, the mysterious city of
ruins, Machu Picchu, in the high Andes, was founded prior to the worldwide catastrophe that is
described as the Flood in the Bible. Traditional historiography rejects both dates.
