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
