The Chronicle of Akakor
through the rivers in which the gold and silver carrying stones were found. Bronze was produced by the
priests in large charcoal burners facing East. But their heat was not sufficient to melt the brown iron ore.
Now the Goths constructed stone furnaces. Holes pierced at regular distances assured ventilation and
increased the heat. Under the guidance of the new allies, the artisans started manufacturing large knives
and sharp points for lances which were superior to the arms of the other tribes. They made garments
armored with iron for the warlords and the Tenthousand-MenLeaders. For a thousand years, our leaders
went to war with these arms. Then the White Barbarians came with their firearms, against which even
armor was no protection.

The iron armor, the black sails, and the colored dragon heads from the ships of the Goths have been
preserved to this day, and we have kept them in the Great Temple of the Sun. According to the drawings
of our priests, their ships could carry up to sixty men and were propelled by a sail of fine cloth that was
rigged to a high mast. More than 1,000 warriors reached Akakor on forty ships. They reestablished the
disintegrated empire and made it strong and powerful, as it is written in the chronicle, in good words, in
clear script:

"Thus the greatness and the power of the Chosen Servants increased. The fame of their sons and the
glory of their warriors grew. Allied to the iron warriors, they defeated their enemies. They built a
mighty empire. They ruled over many lands. Their power reached to the four corners of the world."

The Campaign in the North

In spite of their defeat at the fire-spewing mountain, the Goths had remained a nation of warriors.
Shortly after their arrival they began to support the Ugha Mongulala in their fight against the rebellious
tribes. With their new iron arms they pushed back the Tribe of the Great Voice to the sterile liana
wilderness on the lower reaches of the Red River. They subdued the Tribe of the Glory that Grows and
the Tribe Where Rain Falls, which had ceased paying tribute, and destroyed innumerable savage tribes.
At the beginning of the seventh century in the reckoning of the White Barbarians, the Ugha Mongulala
warriors once again had advanced to the heart of the great forests in the south of the empire and to the
lower reaches of the Great River. Lhasa’s old empire seemed to reemerge from the past.

"Thus started the Great War. The armies of the Chosen Servants went forth. They attacked the Tribe of
the Great Voice. They quelled their arrogance. The archers and the slingers surmounted the palisades.
They broke open the gates of the enemy’s settlements. They killed more adversaries than could be
counted, and great booty fell into their hands. This is the list: bone flutes and shell horns, precious
feather ornaments of the Great Forest Bird, jaguar skins, and slaves. They captured everything. The
Chosen Tribes gained a degree of power they had not possessed for thousands of years."

According to the Chronicle of Akakor, the allied armies of the Ugha Mongulala and the Goths went to
fight in all four corners of the empire and beat the Degenerated Tribes into flight. It was a time of
punishment and a time of retribution for their betrayal of the bequest of the Former Masters. Only on the
western frontier did Akakor limit itself to defense. Faithful to the command of the Ancient Fathers never
to fight against their own brothers, the high council simply erected a high wall against the Incas. For
thirteen years, 30,000 allies worked on the broad stone wall with its buttresses and breastwork. Square
watchtowers made of gigantic ashlars were placed at distances of six hours’ walk between them. They
contained storage rooms for arms and food and the warriors’ quarters. Paved roads linked the fortresses
with Akakor.

A mighty campaign to the north was the biggest military undertaking in the eleventh millennium. On
their arrival, the Goths had brought reports of brown-skinned people who wore feathers. They lived
beyond the straits in the north and traded with their ancestors.* Since at this time the priests discovered
ominous signs in the sky, the high council was afraid of an impending attack by unknown nations. The
council decided to equip an enormous army and to dispatch the force to the outermost northern frontier.
And so 2 million warriors of the Ugha Mongulala and the Allied Tribes set out in the year 11,126 (A.D.
645) as it is written in the chronicle:
