The Chronicle of Akakor
         2 THE NEW PEOPLE


         1945—1968

         World War II produced millions of dead, missing, and wounded. Many countries of the world experienced
         severe financial and economic disruptions. Suspicion and fear created two power blocs divided by mutually
         hostile ideologies. So far, this conflict has not had many repercussions on the South American continent.
         The extermination of the forest Indians reached a new peak. The Brazilian Indian Protection Service, it was
         discovered, was a tool of economic pressure groups for the extinction of the native population. Within
         twenty years, eighty Indian tribes fell victim to white power intrigues and civilization’s diseases. The
         survivors retreated to the inaccessible headwater regions of the rivers.



         The Life of the German Soldiers in Akakor
         I am only a single man, but I speak with the voice of my people. My heart is that of the Ugha Mongulala.
         Whatever may burden the heart of my people, I will tell. The Chosen Tribes no longer want war. But they
         are not afraid of dying. They do not hide behind the rocks. They do not fear death because it is part of our
         lives. The White Barbarians are afraid of death. Only when they are seized by a storm or when their lives
         flicker to an end do they remember that there are powers superior to them and gods higher than themselves.
         During the day the idea of death is merely annoying, and only keeps them from their strange pleasures and
         joys. The White Barbarians know that their god is not well pleased with them and that they ought to
         prostrate themselves in shame. For they are filled with nothing but hatred, greed, and hostility. Their hearts
         are like large pointed hooks when they ought to be a source of light that can defeat darkness and can
         brighten and warm the world. Therefore we must fight as it is written in the chronicle:



               All had gathered, the tribes of the Chosen Servants and the Allied Peoples, all small and large
               tribes. They were all gathered at the same place, where they awaited the decision of the high
               council. Humbly they stood, having made their way under much hardship. And the high priest
               spoke: "What have we done that the White Barbarians should pursue us like animals and
               invade our country like the prowling jaguar? We have come to a sorry pass. Oh, that the sun
               would shine to bring us peace." The high priest spoke in grief and distress, with sighs and tears.
               For the high council wanted to wage war, the last war in the history of the Chosen People.



         The dream of the empire’s rebirth was shattered when communications with Germany were broken off in
         12,426 (1945). Once again, the Ugha Mongulala were on their own. But for the first time they had powerful
         weapons at their disposal, and 2,000 experienced German soldiers were prepared to fight with them. But the
         high council had hoped for the arrival of new and stronger forces at the eastern coast of Brazil in order to
         attack the White Barbarians on two fronts simultaneously. Akakor had to give up this plan after the defeat
         of the allied nation, and Sinkaia recalled the assembled army to the capital.

         At this time the 2,000 German soldiers began to become integrated into the Chosen People. This was a
         difficult task. These allies knew neither the bequest of the Gods, nor our language, nor our script. To
         facilitate the union, the priests simplified the written symbols of the Ancient Fathers. They designated a
         single sign for each letter in the German soldiers’ writing. They then used these signs that were understood
         by both nations to record events in the Chronicle of Akakor. The Ugha Mongulala adopted those words of
         the German soldiers that described equipment hitherto unknown to us. They also learned words that express
         an activity, such as make, run, or build. Soon the German soldiers and the Ugha Mongulala communicated
         in a language that was composed of German and Quechua.
