The Chronicle of Akakor
The Great Universal Catastrophe

The myths of the Latin American aboriginal populations form a coherent picture. In the far distant past, the
earth was ruled by a powerful race of Gods which subdued the native population and built gigantic cities.
They obviously also constructed underground cities and fortresses in expectation of a war they evidently
thought was inevitable. The subsequent actual occurrence of a terrible event is confirmed not only by
tradition; geologists and archaeologists take it for granted that the first Great Catastrophe in the Chronicle of
Akakor, the destruction of the world in the vocabulary of the Maya (or the Flood according to the Old
Testament), actually occurred.

Scientists now interpret the event, which is a common part of every peoples’ history, as natural. It could
have been caused by a shift in the earth’s axis due to the approach of a star, a comet, or the fall of a moon to
the earth. Numerous geologists assume that there were great shifts in the earth’s crust and subsequent giant
tidal waves. Aboriginal legends and myths attribute this happening to the Gods. The Quiche-Maya Popul
Vuh speaks of a visitation by the Gods to destroy wanton mankind. The Indian secret book of Mahabhdrata
describes a war between Gods. The Germanic Edda speaks of a revolt of the underworld: "The Sun turns
black. Thunder rages. Yggdrasil’s trunk stands trembling. The tree spirit groans. The giant breaks loose.
Everything shakes. In the underworld the bonds of the blood-friend Surt break. The sky bursts. The land’s
girdle gapes toward the sky. It sprays blazes of fire and whips up poison. The God goes forward to meet the
dragon. The sun goes out. The land sinks into the water. The happy stars fall from the sky."

The Chronicle of Akakor complements and completes the mythical information of other peoples. It tells of
two hostile divine races with different physical properties. The beginning of the war is the year 13, 10,468
B.C., according to the Western calendar. In his Critica, Plato mentions 9500 B.C. as the year the legendary
Atlantis was destroyed. The historian Hemus reports a terrible catastrophe that occurred in 11,000 B.C.
Posnansky puts the destruction of Tiahuanaco around 12,000 B.C. A Greek philosopher, an Egyptian
historian, and a German scholar all confirm what has been known long since in all oral and written
traditions of all peoples.

Did the rise of mankind start with the arrival of alien astronauts? Did man develop on earth or did he
originate on far distant planets? Whoever places more credence in the legends of ancient peoples than in
scientific hypotheses or religious assertions can find innumerable indications that the Gods were
responsible. But legends are no evidence. Neither the giant temple cities of the Maya, nor the enormous
pyramids of the Egyptians, nor the coarse scratch patterns of Nazca in Peru need necessarily be nonhuman
structures. They do certainly bear witness to the blossoming of high civilizations we no longer understand.
It may well be this enormous scale that raises their builders to the stature of Gods in our eyes.

The history of the first American man has remained mysterious. The majority of scientists hold that he
walked across the icy desert of the Bering Strait and settled the continent from north to south. Posnansky’s
adherents take him to be a descendant of the population of Tiahuanaco. Many popular science authors think
of him as the survivor of legendary Atlantis. But up to now nobody has been able to produce
incontrovertible proof.

The American professor Cyrus Gordon caused an even greater stir when he published an amazing theory in
1971. He asserted that the ancient Oriental nations had known of America for thousands of years. As
evidence, the scholar submitted the copy of a stone slab found in the Brazilian federal state of Ceará, which
bears the following engraved inscription: "We are sons of Canaan. We come from Sidon, the city of the
King. Trade has brought us to this land of mountains. We have sacrificed a youth to avert the wrath of the
Gods in the nineteenth year of Hiram, our mighty king. We began our journey in Eziongeber and sailed with
ten vessels on the Red Sea. We have spent two years on the sea and sailed around a country that is called
Ham. Then a storm separated us from our companions; finally we arrived here, twelve men and three
women, at a beach which I, the admiral, have taken into possession."
