nose and almond-shaped eyes. Men and women have the same thick bluish-black hair. The only difference from the Gods were the mortals’ five fingers and five toes. The Ugha Mongulala are the only white-skinned people on the continent. Although the Former Masters withheld many secrets, the history of my people nevertheless also explains the Gods’ history. The strangers from Schwerta founded a powerful empire. With their knowledge, their superior wisdom and their mysterious tools, it was easy for them to change the Earth according to their own ideas. They divided the country, and built roads and canals. They sowed new plants previously unknown to man. They taught our forefathers that an animal is not only prey but can also be a valuable possession and indispensable against hunger. They patiently imparted the knowledge necessary so that man could grasp the secrets of nature. adventurers and settlers who discovered our capital have been imprisoned by my people. Akakor, the capital of the realm, was built 14,000 years ago by our forefathers under the guidance of the Former Masters. The name comes from them as well: Aka means "fortress" and kor means "two". Akakor is the second fortress. Our priests also tell of the first fortress, Akanis. It was situated on a narrow isthmus in the country that is called Mexico, at Ancient Fathers also erected three sacred temple complexes: Salazere on the upper reaches of the Great River, Tiahuanaco on the Great Lake, and Manoa on the high plain in the south. These were the terrestrial residences of the Former Masters and orbidden ground to the Ugha Mongulala. A giant pyramid was erected in their centre, and a broad staircase led to the platform where he Gods celebrated ceremonies unknown to us. The main building was surrounded by smaller pyramids interconnected by columns, and urther away, on artificially created ills, stood other buildings decorated with glittering plates. In the light of he rising Sun, the priests relate, the cities of the Gods seemed to be aflame. They radiated a mysterious ight, shining in the snowy mountains. The temple precincts have also remained a mystery to my people. Their buildings are testimonies to a igher knowledge, incomprehensible o humans. For the Gods, the pyramids were not only dwelling- places but also symbols of life and death. They were a sign of the Sun, of ight, of life. The Former Masters aught us that there is a place between life and death, between life and nothingness, which is subject to a different time. For them, the pyramids were a link with the second life. PREFACE BY ERICH VON DANIKEN fri te Poe CF I— & 99H A PRIE AS 9998 Ry HK a, ee The Stone Empire The Chronicle of Akakor, the written istory of the people of the Ugha Mongulala, only begins after the departure of the Former Masters in he year zero. But the history of the Chosen Servants reaches back further, into the Golden Age, when the Ancient Fathers were still ruling the Empire. Very few testimonies of this period have been preserved. The Gods must have established a mighty empire where all the tribes ulfilled allotted tasks. The Ugha Mongulala ranked highest. They were granted a greater wisdom that made hem superior to all other peoples. In he year zero, the Gods bequeathed heir cities and temples to the Chosen [ribes. They have lasted 12,000 years. Few White Barbarians have ever seen these monuments or the city of Akakor, my people's capital. Some Spanish soldiers who had been captured by the Ugha Mongulala succeeded in escaping through the subterranean passages. White the place where the two oceans touch. Akahim, the third fortress, is not mentioned in the chronicle before the year 7315 BC. Its history is closely linked to that of Akakor. At the time of our Former Masters’ reign, another twenty-six stone cities surrounded Akakor, and they are all mentioned in the chronicle. The largest were Humbaya and Patite in the country that is called Bolivia, Emin on the lower reaches of the Great River, and Cadira in the mountains of the country called Venezuela. But all these were completely destroyed in the first Great Catastrophe thirteen years after the departure of the Gods. Apart from these mighty cities, the The Subterranean Dwellings "Great was the knowledge of the Former Masters; great their wisdom. Their vision reached to the hills, the plains, the forests, the seas and the valley. They were miraculous creatures. They knew the future. Truth had been revealed to them. Farsighted they were and of high resolve. They erected Akanis and Akakor and Akahim.
