The Chronicle of Akakor
bound the prince of the Chosen Tribes, the supreme servant of the Gods, like a wild animal and kept me
captive in a large stone house. I have to thank the Gods that I succeeded in escaping. They gave me the
strength to break my bonds. I knocked down my careless guards and fled. Eight moons after my departure I
returned to Akakor with empty hands, disappointed at the lies of the White Barbarians.
And the priests assembled. They fasted for thirteen days in the Great Temple of the Sun. They
were ready to sacrifice their lives. They were ready to give their hearts for their children, their
wives, and their descendants. They wanted to die for their people. This was the price they were
prepared to pay. That was the burden they were ready to take up to save the Chosen Tribes.
The Ugha Mongulala did not accept the sacrifice offered by the priests. For 12,000 years they had
repudiated human sacrifice and had kept the laws of the Former Masters, from which they would never
deviate. For these are eternal laws and they determine the life of the whole people of the Chosen Servants.
They assign each individual’s task in the community, as it is written in the Chronicle of Akakor, in good
words, in clear script:
It happened an infinitely long time ago. A paving stone lay on the road to the Great Temple of
the Sun. It saw people pass over it to make offerings to the Gods. It saw people from all four
corners of the world. And the paving stone was seized by longing. And when the high priest
passed over it, it asked for legs. And the high priest was greatly surprised. But the wise man,
the magician, the lord over all things, gave legs to the paving stone. He gave it four legs that
would never stop moving. And the paving stone set out. Over mountains and valleys, through
plains and forests, it wandered here and there until it had seen everything and was tired of
looking. So it returned to the Great Temple of the Sun. And when it came to its old place, it
saw that it was already filled. And its heart grew heavy and it wept bitter tears. And the paving
stone recognized the truth: Only he who fulfills his tasks in the community fulfills the laws of
the Gods.
4 THE RETURN OF THE GODS
I 970—present
The world is filled with skepticism and uncertainty. Changes are occurring in all fields of knowledge that
threaten to disrupt previously valid economic and political systems. The stocks of atom and hydrogen
bombs are sufficient to destroy all life on earth. The increasing shortage of raw materials has led to the final
assault on the last unexplored regions. Trunk roads and airports in Amazonia have created the necessary
bases for the opening up of the enormous virgin forest regions, restricting the living space of the native
population still further. According to the estimates of FUNAI, the Brazilian Government’s Indian Protection
Authority, scarcely 10,000 forest Indians will live to see the year 1985.
The Death of the High Priest
When a man has nothing much to lose and all roads to the future look bleak, he turns to the past. This is
what I did by revealing the secret of the oldest people on earth. But the White Barbarians did not believe my
words. Like ants that destroy everything, they take what little land we have left. And so the Ugha
Mongulala are preparing for their extinction. For the end is near; the circle is closing. The third Great
Catastrophe is approaching. Then the Gods will return, as it is written in the chronicle:
