The Chronicle of Akakor
           Ancient Fathers. It records the bequest of the Former Masters which shaped the lives of my people for
           more than 10,000 years. It contains the secrets of the Chosen Tribes, and it also corrects the history of
           the White Barbarians. For the Chronicle of Akakor describes the rise and the decline of a people chosen
           by the Gods to the end of the world, when they will return after a third Great Catastrophe has destroyed
           the people. Thus it is written. So speak the priests. So it has been put down, in good words, in clear
           script:
           "Twilight still lay on the face of the earth. Sun and moon were veiled. Then ships appeared in the sky,
           powerful and of golden color. Great was the joy of the Chosen Servants. Their Former Masters were
           returning. They came down to earth with shining faces. And the Chosen People brought out their gifts:
           feathers from the large forest bird, bees’ honey, incense, and fruit. The Chosen Servants laid these gifts
           at the feet of the Gods and danced, their faces turned to the East, toward the rising sun. They danced
           with tears of joy in their eyes for the return of the Former Masters. And the animals rejoiced as well.
           All, to the most humble, arose in the valleys and gazed up at the Ancient Fathers. But there were not
           many of the people left. The Gods had killed the majority as punishment for their behavior. Only a few
           people were still alive to salute the Former Masters with all proper respect."

           In the year 7315 (3166 B.C.)* the Gods who had so anxiously been awaited by my people returned to
           earth. The Former Masters of the Chosen Tribes returned to Akakor and assumed power. But only a few
           ships reached our capital, and the Gods stayed with the Ugha Mongulala for barely three months. Then
           they again left the earth. Only the brothers Lhasa and Samon did not go back to the home of their
           Ancient Fathers. Lhasa settled in Akakor; Samon flew to the East and founded his own empire.

           * (Editor’s note: The years in parentheses are "according to the calendar of the White
           Barbarians" or A.D.)

           Lhasa, the Exalted Son of the Gods, assumed power over a devastated empire. Only 20 million out of
           the 362 million who lived through the Golden Era had survived the second Great Catastrophe.
           Settlements and towns lay in ruins. Hordes of the Degenerated Tribes advanced across the borders. War
           ruled throughout the realm. The bequest of the Gods had been forgotten. Lhasa rebuilt the old empire.
           As a protection against the advancing hostile tribes, he had large fortresses constructed. At his
           command, the Ugha Mongulala raised high earth walls alongside the Great River and fortified them
           with wide wooden palisades. Selected warriors were given the task of guarding the new frontier and
           warning Akakor of approaching hostile tribes. In the south of the country called Bolivia, Lhasa erected
           the bases of Mano, Samoa, and Kin. They were made up of thirteen walled buildings following the
           pattern of our Ancient Fathers’ temple complexes. A pyramid with a staircase in front, a sloping roof,
           and one exterior and one interior vaulted room commanded the surrounding countryside. Lhasa settled
           Allied Tribes in the neighborhood of the three fortresses. They were under the command of the prince of
           Akakor and subject to war duty.

           For thousands of years, a nation had lived on the western frontiers of the empire with which the Ugha
           Mongulala had been linked in special amity. This nation, the Incas, knew the language and the script of
           the Former Masters. Their priests were also aware of the bequest of the Gods. At the end of the second
           Great Catastrophe, this tribe moved its settlements into mountains of the country called Peru and
           founded its own empire. Lhasa, concerned about the safety of Akakor, had a fortress constructed on the
           western border and gave orders for the building of Machu Picchu, a new city of temples in a high valley
           of the Andes.

           "Sweat pearled on the porters’ foreheads. The mountains were tinted red with their blood. Therefore,
           they are called Blood Mountains. But Lhasa gave no reprieve. The nation of the Chosen Servants did
           penance for the betrayal of its ancestors. And so the days passed. The sun rose and set. Rains came, and
           the cold. The Chosen Servants’ complaints sounded in the air. They chanted about their suffering with
           pain."

           The building of the holy city of Machu Picchu is one of the great events in the history of my people.
