betrayed and captured, was strangled in 1533. Only small remnants of the highly developed civilization,
mainly architecture, the writing in knots, and gold objects, survived the destruction. The Inca population,
estimated by contemporary writers to have amounted to 10 million, was reduced to 3 million within a few
years. The value of the gold ingots transported by the Spaniards from Peru amounted to roughly $5 billion
in today’s currency.

The Arrival of the White Barbarians
Everything is included in the Chronicle of Akakor, written in good words and in clear script. But I am
telling it all when time is already running out. I am exposing the Book of Wisdom and the life of my people
according to the bequest of the Gods to give an account about the past and the future. For the Ugha
Mongulala are doomed to perdition. More and more trees are falling, their roots dead. The warriors killed
by the invisible arrows of the White Barbarians are growing ever more numerous. An endless river of blood
passes through the forests on the Great River to the very ruins of Akakor. Since the White Barbarians
advanced into the country, dejection and discouragement have seized my people, as it is written down in the
chronicle:

Strange news was brought to the high council about alien bearded men and mighty ships that
glide soundlessly over the water, whose masts reach into the sky. News came about white
foreigners, strong and mighty like gods. They were like our Ancient Fathers. And the high
council ordered fires of joy to be lighted, thinking of the Former Masters. They tendered
sacrificial gifts to the Gods who had at long last returned. And the glad tidings were carried
from man to man. The news spread from one tribe to the other; they beat the drums day and
night. And the whole nation wept with joy. For the prophecy had been fulfilled. The Gods were
returning.
At the beginning of the year 12,013 (A.D. 1532), such thoughts would still have been sacrilegious. It
appeared as if the prophecy of the Ancient Fathers might be fulfilled. Six thousand years after their last visit
to earth, they returned as they had promised. And the Chosen People’s joy was accordingly great. A new era
was looming ahead, a return to the days when the Ugha Mongulala had ruled the world in the north, in the
south, in the west, and in the east. The only ones who did not share in the general jubilation were the priests.
They doubted the news of the Gods’ return, even though the date corresponded with their prediction.
Twelve thousand years ago, the Ancient Fathers had left the earth. Six thousand years had passed since
Lhasa’s death. But the priests, who know everything, who see the future, and to whom nothing remains
hidden, observed ominous signs in the sky. Very soon the news about the return of our Former Masters was
found to be a cruel error. The aliens did not come with good intentions, to assume power with kindness and
wisdom. Instead of happiness and inner peace, they brought tears, bloodshed, and violence. In a frenzy of
hatred and greed the strangers destroyed the empire of our sister nation, the Incas. They burned down cities
and villages, and murdered men, women, and children. The White Barbarians, as we still call them today,
rejected the bequest of the Ancient Fathers. They erected temples in the sign of the cross and sacrificed
millions of men for its honor.

A great star was approaching the earth and shed a dull light over plains and mountains. The sun had also
changed, as it is written in the chronicle:
"Woe on us. The signs point to disaster. The sun is not bright and yellow but red, like thick
blood." Thus spoke the priests. "The strangers do not bring peace. They do not trust in the
bequest of the Ancient Fathers. Their thoughts are made of blood. They shed blood over the
whole empire."
The disaster our priests had foreseen first struck the Incas. A civil war broke out in their empire. The two
sons of Huayana Capac fought for the prince’s office. In a bloody battle on the fields before Cuzco, the
firstborn Huascar, was defeated by his younger brother Ataualpa. The victor and his army advanced into the
