The Chronicle of Akakor
               warriors: "This is the command we give you. Go forward; advance into the country of our
               enemies. You will avenge your dead brothers. Avenge the blood that has flowed since the
               arrival of the White Barbarians. Take the best weapons, the fastest bows, the sharpest arrows,
               and open their breasts. Set their houses on fire, kill their men, but spare their women and
               children. For even in this war we will honor the bequest of the Ancient Fathers. First go into
               the Great Temple of the Sun. Take your leave of the Gods, for you will hardly be granted a safe
               return. But hurry. The messenger with the Golden Arrow is on his way. He hastens ahead of
               you this day and this night. He brings war to the White Barbarians."

         I do not know in what way the chronicle of the White Barbarians describes Sinkaia’s campaign. Nor do I
         know what name they gave to the warriors who penetrated their capital in the light of day. I only know what
         is written in the Chronicle of Akakor. According to the chronicle of my people, the high council of the
         White Barbarians had taken fifteen of the most respected men of the Incas prisoner. Sinkaia felt responsible
         for their fate. He sent a messenger into the city called Lima and demanded their immediate release. When
         the leaders of the White Barbarians refused his demand, he sent the messenger with the Golden Arrow as a
         sign of war. Then eighty selected warriors set out on the road to their enemy’s country.

         According to our chronicle, the warriors passed through an underground passage which dated back to the
         Exalted Son of the Gods, Lhasa. It begins in the Great Temple of the Sun in Akakor and finishes in the heart
         of the capital of the White Barbarians. Its walls are light. Black stones which we call "hour stones" are sunk
         into the walls at regular intervals to mark the distance. The ways in and out are protected by signs of our
         Gods, traps, and poisoned arrows. Not even the Incas know the course of the tunnel. After the arrival of the
         White Barbarians, they had constructed their own subterranean passage. It went from Cuzco via Catamarca
         into the interior yard of the Lima cathedral. A stone slab bars the passage from the outside world. It is so
         cleverly sunk into the foundation that it cannot be distinguished from the other slabs. Only those who know
         the secret can open it.

         The eighty selected warriors went through Lhasa’s passage. For three moons they moved like shadows
         through the country of their enemies. Then they reached the capital of the White Barbarians. At dawn they
         broke out of the underground passage and tried to free the captive Incas. In the ensuing battle, 120 White
         Barbarians were killed. But the enemy’s advantage was too great. None of Sinkaia’s warriors returned to
         Akakor. They gave their lives as faithful servants of the Gods for the Chosen People.



         4 THE WISDOM OF THE UGHA MONGULALA


         1921—1932

         World War I was the result of imperialist power politics and the intensification of nationalist tension. It
         ended with the absolute defeat of Imperial Germany. The aftermath, however, only renewed political
         differences and prepared Europe for World War II. In the meantime, the United States had become a world
         power. The last remnants of the native population were relegated to Indian reservations. Large social and
         political differences developed in the Latin American countries. Peru, the home of the Incas, was now
         governed by 300 families. Eighty percent of the Brazilian population were absolutely dependent on the
         owners of large estates. In Amazonia, the advance of the white civilization was temporarily suspended at
         the end of the rubber boom. The Indians of the virgin forests retreated into the forest regions and saved
         themselves from complete extinction. In 1926, Marshal Rondon established the Indian Protection Service of
         the Brazilian State, but corruption and crime turned it into a tool of the white upper class.

         The New Order of the Empire

         Once, my people’s voice was a powerful voice. Now it is weak and cannot move the hearts of the White
         Barbarians. For they are cold even toward their brothers. They have houses large enough for all families of
