The Chronicle of Akakor
The details of its construction are obscured by many secrets eternally hidden in the steeply rising
Mountain of the Moon which protects Machu Picchu. According to the tales of the priests, the workers
quarried the stones for the houses of the warriors and the dwellings of the priests and their servants from
the rocks. An army of laborers carried the granite blocks for Lhasa’s palace from the distant valleys on
the western slopes of the Andes. And the priests also relate that two generations were not sufficient to
complete the city and that the complaints of the Ugha Mongulala were becoming ever more insistent as

of a bird and was truly a bird. For thirteen days, he changed into an eagle. He was truly exalted.
Everyone cowered before his countenance. His power reached to the borders of the sky, to the borders
of the earth. And the tribes bowed down before the divine master."
