The Chronicle of Akakor
         Cyrus Gordon’s assertion caused a storm of indignation among Brazilian archaeologists and historians. He
         downgraded the Portuguese discoverers to mere successors of the Phoenician sailors and also supplied a
         completely new explanation for the origin of the name



         Brazil. The current version derives the name from the tree pau do Brasil. According to the American
         professor, the word originates in the Semitic vocabulary. Several Brazilian universities sent groups of
         researchers to the area the professor had identified as the location of the finding to check on the sensational
         discovery.

         The largest and most expensive expedition searched the region around Quixeramobin in the center of Ceará
         in 1971. During three months of arduous work, more than 1,000 kilograms of ceramics and soil samples
         were collected. The archaeologists excavated more than 100 urns, and discovered mysterious stone images
         and colored porcelain ornaments. In the same winter, the leader of the expedition, the Brazilian
         archaeologist Milton Parnes, published his first report, which confirms the assertion by Gordon and the
         remarks in the Chronicle of Akakor about contact between the Ugha Mongulala and the empire of Samon
         beyond the eastern ocean.

         References to an ancient connection between the Orient and the New World are not restricted to the
         astonishing discoveries in Ceará. The Egyptian Books of the Dead in the second millennium B.C. speak
         about the kingdom of Osiris in a distant country in the West. Rock inscriptions in the region of Rio Mollar
         in Argentina are clearly linear in the Egyptian tradition. Symbols and ceramic objects were found in Cuzco
         that are identical with Egyptian artifacts. According to the American researcher Verrill, they provide
         evidence for the visit of King Sargon of Akkad and his sons in Peru in the years 2500—2000 B.C.
         Consecration sites and temples in Guatemala seem to have been fashioned after the Egyptian pyramids.
         Their architecture, which follows strict astronomic laws, points to the same origin or the same builder. But
         the most distinct indications are in Amazonia and the Brazilian federal state of Mato Grosso. Meter-high
         inscriptions on barely accessible rock faces unquestionably show the characteristics of Egyptian
         hieroglyphics. They were collected and interpreted by the Brazilian scholar Aifredo Brandâo in his
         two-volume work A Escripta Prehistorica do Brasil. He writes in the preface: "Egyptian seafarers left traces
         everywhere, from the mouth of the Amazon to the bay of Guanabara. They are about 4,000—5,000 years
         old, and so we can surmise that communications by sea between the two continents were broken off at a
         later date." According to the Chronicle of Akakor, the relations between Egypt and South America broke off
         in the fourth millennium B.C. when savage tribes destroyed the city of Ofir, which had been built by Lhasa.
         If one relies on Professor Gordon’s theory, the relation was resumed in the nineteenth year of Hiram, 1000
         B.C., by the Phoenicians. And the Ugha Mongulala report that they were followed in A.D. 500 by the
         Ostrogoths who were allied to some northern sailors. And finally, another 1,000 years later, the Spaniards
         and the Portuguese arrived in their search for a shorter sea route to India. America, the New World, had
         been rediscovered.


         Prehistory of the Incas

         The voyage of Christopher Columbus first brought news about American civilizations to the Occident. The
         scribes of His Spanish Majesty described their cities, condemned the religious traditions of the people, and
         established the first calendars. The Spanish historian Pedro de Cieza de Leon and the Inca descendant
         Garcilaso de la Vega put the rise of the Inca empire in the first centuries of the Christian era. Only the
         chronicler Fernando Montesinos gives an exact genealogical table of the Kings of the Sun, which goes far
         back into the preChristian era.

         For a long time, modern historiography accepted the validity of the data of Pedro Cieza de Leon and
         assumed the beginning of the Inca empire to have occurred around A.D. 500—800. At this time, this
         masterful nation of warriors was supposed to have begun the conquest of Peru and to have expanded as far
