The Chronicle of Akakor
The most important testimony of the alliance between the German soldiers and the Ugha Mongulala is the
agreement between the two nations. It is written in the script of the Ancient Fathers and of the White
Barbarians and was signed by the prince and by the leaders of the German soldiers.

Apart from the documents of the past, the underground dwellings also house things of everyday life, such as
clay pots, jewelry, and musical instruments. There are many types of flutes made from the jaguar’s bones or
from fired clay. Wooden rattles and drums are made out of hollow tree trunks and covered with tapir skins.
The drumsticks have rubber-covered tips. During the mourning ceremonies in the Great Temple of the Sun,
we use large shell horns which give a dark sorrowful sound. Their music accompanies the essential I on the
road into the second life.

The greatest treasure of my people, the Chronicle of Akakor, is in a passage lined with gold which connects
the Great Temple of the Sun with the underground dwellings. The first part, dealing with the time from the
departure of the Gods to the end of the age of blood, is written on animal skins. Since Lhasa, the priests
have been using parchment. The entry to the room where the chronicle is kept is guarded by selected
warriors who are responsible for the testimony of my people’s history. By keeping the chronicle, we can
account to the Gods when they return.

A Leader of the White Barbarians in Akakor

My people knew how to preserve the secret of Akakor. During the 12,000 years of history of the Chosen
Tribes, very few strangers came into our capital. During the reign of the Exalted Son of the Gods, Lhasa,
Samon’s ambassadors visited our empire. Three thousand years later, the Incas discussed war and peace
with us. In the twelfth millennium, the Goths came to the eastern shores of the empire. They made contact
with our warriors and united with our people. And then came the White Barbarians. To prevent the
discovery of Akakor, the Ugha Mongulala gave up the major part of their formerly powerful empire. The
few enemies who reached the city of the Gods were exiled to the gold and silver mines forever. A group of
white rubber seekers were the only people killed by order of the high council. They had advanced as far as
Akakor in the year 12,408 (1927). Their leader called himself Jacob, a man who paid homage to the sign of
the cross. As our priests desired to know which God was hidden behind this sign, they summoned an
assembly of the whole people. A disputation was held in the eyes of the Chosen Servants, as it is written in
the chronicle, in good words, in clear script:

And Jacob stepped in front of the high council. He raised his voice to begin his defense. But a
strange feeling overcame him. He saw people in front of him whom he had ordered to be
killed, men like himself with white skins and honest faces. And Jacob began to perspire. Blood
rose to his head. His mouth was dry. And the powerful weapon slipped from his hands. And in
his crazed desperation he prayed to his god. Jacob began to speak about the laws of his people.
"It is better to kill the savages than to let them live, for they are like animals in the forest.
These are my orders. This is the way I must act." Now Magus spoke, the high priest of the
Chosen Tribes: "You have spoken about my people like a man who thinks he is a god and can
decide on life and death. But do you also know that real life extends beyond death? I, you, all
of us, have had an existence before this life. And we will also live after death. Transitory
feelings are alien to us. Happiness and sorrow, heat and cold, mean nothing to us. We are free
from these passing feelings, really free. And only he who has recognized this truth, the real
meaning of life and death, can enter into the second life. For the essential I that dwells in our
body is subject neither to time nor space. No one can destroy it, for it is indestructible and
knows neither birth nor death. No weapon can hurt it, no fire can burn it, no water can drown
it, no heat can sear it. But for you everything ends with death." "Tell me, priest," said Jacob
then, "which is the way of your people? How do you fulfill the laws of your Gods?" And
Magus replied: "Two roads lead to this goal: deed and knowledge. You can gain knowledge by
right deeds. Without wisdom the goal cannot be reached. The greatest task of my people is the
