The Chronicle of Akakor
           Indo-Germanic tribes began to spread across Europe. All state structures of the Old World were given a
           new image by the war-chariot fighters. While the powerful Egyptian New Kingdom of Thotmes
           extended its international relations as far as Crete, the Bronze Age flourished in Europe and led to the
           development of highly differentiated civilizations. In the New World records of historical events began
           with the Chavin nations in Peru around 900 B.C. Nothing was known at this time about the Amazon
           Indians.
           The Empire at the Height of Its Power

           My people’s land is vast. This country was formerly inhabited only by the Ugha Mongulala and savage
           tribes, among them many powerful nations on the Great River. Since the arrival of the White
           Barbarians, one tribe after another became extinct. If a community defended itself, its men were
           murdered and its women and children treated like animals. This is written in our chronicle, not in that of
           the White Barbarians. The White Barbarians report history wrongly. They have said much that is not
           true. They have only told about their own heroic deeds and the stupidity of the "savages." But the White
           Barbarians are forever lying and deceiving each other. By breaking all laws of nature, they make
           themselves believe that they will create a new and better world. But according to our Gods’ bequest, the
           earth was created with the help of the sun. Earth, land, and my people belong to each other. They are
           inseparably linked together, as Lhasa taught us, and as it is written in the Chronicle of Akakor:

           "The Chosen Servants did not govern with a light hand. They did not give away the sacrificial gifts.
           They themselves ate and drank them. They attained great power and received much tribute: gold, silver,
           bees’ honey, fruit, and meat. These were the tribute of the subject tribes. It all came before the prince,
           the ruler of Akakor."

           In the eighth millennium (2500 B.C.) the empire of Akakor reached the highest point of its power. Two
           million warriors commanded the plains on the Great River, the vast forest regions of the Mato Grosso,
           and the fertile eastern slopes of the Andes. Two hundred and forty-three million people lived according
           to the laws of the Exalted Son of the Gods, Lhasa. But at the point when the empire had reached its
           peak, it started to decline. First, changes appeared that placed Akakor again on the defensive. Savage
           tribes now numbered in the thousands. The land was hardly capable of feeding so many people. Driven
           by hunger, they repeatedly invaded the territories of the empire. And the Allied Tribes as well began to
           rebel against the predominance of the Ugha Mongulala. New strong nations arose that Akakor found
           hard to vanquish.

           "They moved out at the command of the high council. They went to the Great Lake in the mountains,
           and they also occupied the country around it. They were scouts and warriors and accompanied by the
           runner with the Golden Arrow. They had been sent out to observe the enemies of Akakor and to defeat
           them. Together, the warriors of the Chosen Tribes went to war, and they took many prisoners. For the
           Allied Tribes rejected the Gods’ bequest. They had given themselves their own laws. They lived
           according to their own rules. But the warriors of the Chosen Servants were courageous. They defeated
           the foe and left him bleeding."

           For thousands of years, the armies of the Ugha Mongulala had been far superior to the warriors of the
           rebellious tribes because they were carefully trained and went into battle in accordance with plans
           devised by Lhasa. One hundred thousand warriors were under the command of the warlord, the
           Hundredthousand-Men-Leader. Ten thousand men were led by a captain or Tenthousand-Men-Leader.
           The Thousand-Men-Leaders and Hundred-Men-Leaders went in advance of the army and gave the
           signal for attack. After a successful battle, they captured prisoners and divided the booty. If the fight
           appeared to be lost, the Ugha Mongulala withdrew under cover of darkness into prepared positions.
           Only in the rarest cases did the prince accompany the armies. Selected runners kept him in touch with
           the warriors so that he could go to their assistance with his palace guard in cases of emergency. When
           the White Barbarians came, my people relinquished this order of battle. Even an enormous army could
           not resist the invisible arrows of the new enemy. The time of great campaigns had passed.
