The Chronicle of Akakor
temple city of Tiahuanaco. For the first time since the return of the Gods, hostile scouts penetrated as far
as the walls of Akakor. But then an event occurred which has been described in our chronicle in the
following words:

"Now we tell about the warriors from the East. Now we will talk about the arrival of the Goths. That
was what they called themselves. And here is their history. Already 364 generations had passed since
the departure of the Gods, since the beginning of light, life, and tribe. Already 104 princes had
succeeded Lhasa. The hearts of the Chosen Servants were sullen. The clan of Viracocha had wandered
to Cuzco. There they built their huts. There they erected the temples of their gods and preached hate and
war. That was their daily food from dawn to dusk and during the night. Then a strange message reached
Akakor. Foreign warriors were coming up the Great River—valiant men, as strong as the wild cat, as
courageous as the jaguar. Women and children were also with them. They were in search of their Gods.
And so the Goths reached the empire of the Chosen Tribes."

The arrival of the foreign warriors who called themselves Goths is one of the great mysteries in my
people’s history. The Ugha Mongulala had probably been aware since the time of Lhasa of a great
empire beyond the eastern ocean that had been ruled by his brother Samon. But since the destruction of
the city of Ofir in the seventh millennium, the connection had been severed. Up to the arrival of the
Goths, the priests believed that Samon’s empire had vanished. The foreign warriors from the East
brought quite another message. There were many tribes and powerful nations beyond the eastern ocean.
According to the tales of the Goths, their history as well derived from divine creatures. An old princely
family had come down from the heavens and had taught them life and death. Many thousand years later,
the Goths were forced by hunger and hostile tribes to wander into an alien land. And here their destiny
was fulfilled.
"This is the name of the prince of the Goths. They called him the Wild Hunter. He had much wisdom
and a great mind. He was a prophet of good will, and a performer of heroic deeds. He saved them from
destruction. For the valiant warriors were beaten; they seemed doomed to perdition on the fire-spewing
mountain. They faced extinction. But the Wild Hunter conquered the misfortune of the people. He
concluded an alliance with the bold seafarers from the north. And his people went forth in search of the
Gods. The Goths were searching in the four corners of the world, at the Blue End of the World and at
the Red End of the World. They crossed the infinity of the oceans. And after thirty moons they found a
new home, the country of the Chosen Servants."

The Alliance between Two Nations
The arrival of the Goths in the year 11,051 (A.D. 570) had a fateful significance for the Ugha
Mongulala. Akakor gained the support of a group of proven warriors, infinitely superior to the
rebellious tribes. For centuries, the high council and the priests were diverted from the power struggle.
The Chosen People regained its confidence in the bequest of the Ancient Fathers. Once again the
prophecy of the Gods had proven true. In the hour of direct necessity, they sent help, as it is written in
the Chronicle of Akakor:

"Thus the Goths reached the empire of the Chosen Tribes. And thus they established themselves in
Akakor. Now there were two clans, but they were of one mind. There was neither battle nor discord.
Peace was among them. There was no violence, no dispute. Their hearts were peaceful. They knew
neither jealousy nor envy."

The alliance between the Goths and the Ugha Mongulala was sealed by the exchange of gifts. The high
council allotted dwellings and fertile land to the new arrivals. The Goths presented my people with new
seed and digging sticks which were pulled by animals. They taught them other forms of tilling the soil
and showed the artisans how to construct better looms. But their greatest gift was the secret of
producing a black hard metal that had been unknown to my people and which is called iron by the
White Barbarians. Up to the arrival of the Goths we had only worked gold, silver, and bronze. Gold and
silver came from the region of the destroyed temple city of Tiahuanaco. Selected workers trawled bolts
