Chapter XXIV<\/span><\/p>\n

THE FIRST BIBLE OF GUATAMA (AMERICA).–BEING OF EAWAHTAH,
\nA MAN CHOSEN BY GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GUATAMA.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In Guatama, in the Middle Kingdom, by the sea of So-ci-a-pan, came down from
\nheaven, Gitchee, the Creator, the World-Maker, Manito! With silence, speaking in the
\nsoul of things. He said: Speak, O earth! Have eyes, O earth! Have ears, O earth! Behold
\nMe, your Maker!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The earth answered him, not with words, boasting, but raised up man!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>3. Man said: Here am I, O Gitchee! The Creator looked, and lo and behold, the I’hins of
\nGuatama stood before Him, the little people, white and yellow. Gitchee (God) said:
\nBecause thou hast answered Me in faith, O earth, thy ong-wee (talking animals) shall be
\ncalled I’hin. Thus was named the first talkers; men with mouths for words; ears for words.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Then Gitchee (God) called the I’hins together, and said they were good; even the
\nhandsomest of all created creations. And He commanded them to marry, male and female,
\nand beget heirs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And they obeyed God’s commands; but the dumb earth cast clouds upward, and
\nblinded the ways of the I’hins, and they strayed away from the mounds, and came to black
\ndruks, which speak not; have no words; being dumb like the black mud of the earth where
\nthey burrowed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. In the darkness of the earth the I’hins mingled with the druks, and lo and behold, a
\nsecond born speaking animal (ong’wee, or Indian) stood upon the earth, tall, and red, and
\nstrong, swift and handsome. Gitchee (God) said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. I blame thee not, O I’hin! I saw the darkness; saw thy straits! But never more shalt thou
\ndwell with druks, nor with the new red-born, those with faces like new copper. Call them
\nI’hua; for they shall be protectors over My chosen, the I’hins, forever. The I’hua shall drive
\naway the baugh and mieu and great serpents, and all man-slaying beasts; for I will make
\nmighty nations out of the seed of the I’huans.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The first I’huan’s name was O-e-du, and his wife’s name was Uh-na; and they begat
\nOwena and Dan and Shu-sa, but they had no more heirs. At a time soon after, the second
\nman, whose name was Ka-Ka-och and whose wife’s name was Wees, begat Somma, and
\nPan-ah, and Kac-ak, and Ku-bak, and Jessom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And these were the first tribes of I’huans in the land of Guatama (after the flood), and
\nthey dwelt together, marrying and begetting offspring, dwelling in peace. And the I’hins
\ntaught them in all things, so they became an honor on the earth and a glory unto the
\nCreator; but they were mixed so together that one tribe had no preference over another.
\nSo, by commandment of God, they were called the tribe of Oedukakaooh, of the middle
\nkingdom, Waneopanganosah (Central America).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. In the valley of Owak, by the river Ho-e-jon-wan, Gitchee (Jehovih) created another
\ntribe called Bak-Haw-ugh, and to the north of them, in the mountains Mein-how-an-goto-bah; and their tribes commingled, and Gitchee (God) named them, Bakhawughmeiuhowangotobah.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Jesson, son of Rakaooh, married Wepon, daughter of Bakhawughmeiuhowangotobah,
\nand they begat Sto-gil-bak, and he begat Kom, and he begat See, and she married
\nBan, son of the tribe Rakaooh, and Ban’s first-born son’s name was La-ban-a-see.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And Labanasee was born in su’is of the second order, and could hear the voice of the
\nCreator, Gitchee, the Great Spirit. And the Voice remained with Labanasee during his
\nlife-time, which was one hundred and twenty and five years, when he died. And the
\nVoice descended to Labanasee’s son, Hootlabanasee, who lived one hundred and one
\nyears, and he died, and the Voice descended to his son, Hatapanagooshhootlabanasee; and
\nthence to his son after him, named Arapanseekasoodativhatapanagooshhootlabanasee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Thus were represented the eighteen tribes of Gitchee’s chosen amongst the I’huans
\nwho should become everlasting heirs to the Voice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And God said unto Ara: Arise and go forth; my hand will steer thee. So Ara rose up<\/span>
\nand departed by the hand of the Creator, and came to the valley of Owg, broad and sweetsmelling, full of health-giving food and air and water. And there came with Ara into Owg
\none thousand men, women and children; and they built a city and called it Eftspan,
\nsignifying place of beauty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. And these took the name of the tribe of Ara, the which name survived one thousand
\nseven hundred and fifty years. And their people were tens of thousands.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. After the tribe of Ara lost the Voice, there was raised up Sho-shone, of the tribes of
\nSto-gil-bak. And Gitchee raised His hand before Sho-shone and pointed the way, and
\nSho-shone departed out of the country of Tabachoozehbakkankan and came to Owg, and
\ntook to wife Hisam, daughter of Ooeguffanauha, and they begat E-a-ron-a-ki-mutz, a son
\nof great beauty and strength, a swift runner.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And the voice of Gitcheemonihtee (Son of Jehovih) came to Earonakimutz and
\nremained with him during his natural lifetime, which was ninety years. And to his son,
\nFassawanhootaganganearonakimutz, and thence to his son, Monagoamyazazhufassawanhootaganganearonakimutz.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. And Monag inhabited the regions of the plains of Yiteatuazow (Arkansas), and his
\npeople became mighty in cities and agriculture. For four thousand years the Voice of the
\nAll Father remained with the regular succession of the heirs of Monag, but their names
\nand their cities’names became so long that no man could speak them or write them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. So Gitchee (Jehovih) raised up Honga, son of Ab, of the tribe of Oedu, of the land of
\nthe Middle Kingdom. And Honga went into the mountains of Ghiee (Rocky or Eagle
\nMountains), sloping to the east.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Gitchee (God) spake to Honga, saying: Thou shalt take Oebe for thy wife; out of
\nthy seed will I raise up a greater tribe than all other tribes; and thy first-born son shall
\nhave thy name; and thy son’s son shall be called Honga also; and thy son’s son’s son, and
\nso on forever. For I am wearied with the burden of names; thy Great Creator hath spoken.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Then asked Honga, saying: What if I have no son, but only daughters? Or of my son
\nor my son’s son, they cease to have a son, but only daughters?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Then spake Gitchee, saying: The wife’s first daughter. So it came to pass, in course of
\ntime, Honga married and begat heirs; and the Voice of the Great Spirit remained with
\nthe tribes of Honga, and it came to pass that he who heard the Voice, who was always
\nthe chief high prophet for the tribe, was called Hoanga; but the peoples themselves
\nwere called ong’wee, the same that hath endured to this day, and is called Indian.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. And the generations of Honga were called, –first, Honga; second, Honga; third,
\nHonga; and so on. And this was the beginning of the counting of time in Guatama.
\nNeither knew any man the number of generations before the time of Honga the first.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And the land became full of cities, from the east to the west, and from the north to
\nthe south, and the people dwelt in peace, tribe with tribe, the world over. Then came
\nthe God of evil, I’tura (Ahura), sowing evil in the temples and on the altars. Yea, with
\na false tongue and cunning came he, before the prophets, stealing their eyes away,
\nstealing their ears away, holding up his hand, saying: It is the Great Spirit’s hand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. And I’tura obsessed the nations and tribes of men to worship him; infatuating them
\nwith the stories of far-off countries, and the glory of kings and queens. And he set on foot
\na war of plunder; brought ten thousand times ten thousand evil spirits to aid and abet
\nmortals in war.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. And I’tura, the God of evil, taught mortals to flatten the head, to make prophets, and,
\nlo and behold, the land of Guatama became a land of seers and prophets and conjurers,
\nseeking evil for sake of evil; consulting the spirits of the dead for war and for earthly
\nglory in blood and death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter XXV<\/span><\/p>\n

1. These, then, were the principal kings of that day: Lanoughl, king of Eboostakagan, a
\ncity of tens of thousands, in the valley of Aragaiyistan. Lanoughl was the son of
\nToogaoogahaha, who was the son of Eviphraiganakukuwonpan, who was the son of
\nOyoyughstuhaipawehaha, who built the canal (oseowa) of Papaeunugheutowa, which
\nextended from the sea of Hoola’hoola’pan (Lake Superior) to the plains of
\nAigonquehanelachahoba (Texas), near the sea of Sociapan, where dwelt Heothahoga,
\nking of kings, whose temple was roofed with copper and silver. Of ten thousand boats
\n(canoes) was the canal, extending along, carrying copper and silver from the north regions
\nto the cities of the valley of Hapembapanpan, and to the cities of the mountains
\nof Oaramgallachacha, and to Ghiee, home of Honga the first, the mightiest of red men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Next in power to Lanoughl was Tee-see-gam-ba-o-rakaxax, king of the city of
\nChusanimbapan, in the plains of Erezehoegammas (Central America), with twelve
\ntributary cities extending along the river Akaistaazachahaustomakmak, to the mountains
\nof Nefsaidawowotchachaeengamma.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And the third king in power was Chiawassaibakanaizhoo, of the city of Inuistahahahacromcromahoesuthaha, and to him were tributary seven and twenty cities and their kings.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Chiawassaibakanalszhoo was the son of TenehamgameralhuchsukzhaistoMaipowwassaa, who was son of Thusaiganganenosatamakka, who built the great east canal, the
\nOseowagallaxacola, in the rich valley of Tiedaswonoghassie, and through the land of
\nSeganeogalgalyaluciahomaahomhom, where dwelt the large men and women, the
\nOngewahapackaka-ganganecolabazkoaxax.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The fourth great king of Guatama was Hoogalomarakkadanapanwowwow, king of the
\ncity of Itussakegollahamganseocolabah, which had seventeen tributary cities of tens of
\nthousands of people. And his kingdom extended from sea to sea in the Middle Kingdom
\n(Panama). Here was the temple of Giloff, with a thousand columns of polished
\nmahogany, and with a dome of copper and silver. And within Giloff dwelt the
\nOsheowena, the oracle of the Creator, for two thousand years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The fifth great king was Penambatta, king of the city of Liscararzakyatasagangan, on
\nthe High Heogula Ophat (Tennessee), with thirty tributary cities of tens of thousands of
\ninhabitants. Here was situate the school and college of great learning, the
\nAhazahohoputan, where were taught tens of thousands of students. Penambatta was
\nlearned, and had traveled far, devoting his life to imparting knowledge. He had six
\nthousand attendants, besides six hundred and forty officers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The sixth great king was Hoajab, son of Teutsangtusicgammooghsapanpan, founder of
\nthe kilns of Wooboohakhak. Hoajab’s capital city was Farejonkahomah, with thirty-three
\ntributary cities, of tens of thousands of inhabitants, of the plains of He’gow (South-eastern
\nOhio).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The seventh great king was Hiroughskahogamsoghtabakbak, and his capital city was<\/span>
\nHoesughsoosiamcholabengancobanzhohahhah, situate in the plains of Messogowanchoola, and extending eastward to the mountains of Gonzhoowassicmachababdohuyapiasondrythoajaj, including the valleys of the river Onepagassathalalanganchoochoo,
\neven to the sea, Poerthawowitcheothunacalclachaxzhloschistacombia (Lake Erie). Hiro
\nhad forty and seven tributary cities of tens of thousands of inhabitants.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Betwixt the great kings and their great capitals were a thousand canals, crossing the
\ncountry in every way, from east to west and from north to south, so that the seas of the
\nnorth were connected with the seas of the south. In kanoos the people traveled and carried
\nthe productions of the land in every way. Besides the canals mentioned, there were seven
\nother great canals, named after the kings who built them, and they extended across the
\nplains in many directions, but chiefly east and west.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. These were: Oosgaloomaigovolobanazhooegollopan, and Halagazhapanpanegoochoo,
\nand Fillioistagovonchobiassoso, and Anetiabolalachooesanggomacoalobonbakkak, and
\nEhabadangonzhooeportalicha-boggasa-megitcheepapa, and Onepapollagassayamganshuniatedoegonachoogangitiavatoosomchooibalgadgad, and Hachooaolagobwotchachabakaraxexganhammazhooelapanpan.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. In those days the kings and learned men put their hearts to work building canals and
\nfinding places and roadways for them, and herein laid the great glory and honor of man at
\nthat time.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And God (Gitchee) perceiving the virtue and wisdom of men, sent His angels to teach
\nman the mystery of canal-making; to teach man to compound clay with lime and sand, to
\nhold water; to teach man to find the gau, the level, and the force of water. The angels also
\ntaught man to make pots and kettles; to burn the clay in suitable shape; to find copper ore
\nand silver ore, and gold and lead for the floors of the oracle chambers, clean and white
\nshining, suitable for angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. And they taught man how to soften copper like dough; how to harden copper like flint
\nrock, for axes and mattocks for building canals; taught man how to work the ore in the
\nfire and melt it; and how to make lead into sheets, like cloth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Taught man to till the soil and grow wheat and corn; taught the women how to grind
\nit and make bread. Taught the hunters how to slay the lion and the tiger and the mastodon,
\nthe H<\/span>OGAWATHA, THE ROOTING ANIMAL OF WISDOM<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Besides all these inhabited regions there lay another country to the far west, fifty days’
\njourney, the land of Goeshallobok, a place of sand and salt, and hot, boiling waters. And
\nthis region was a twenty days’journey broad, east and west, and fifty days’journey broad,
\nnorth and south.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. In the High North lay the kingdom of Olegalla, the land of giants, the place of yellow
\nrocks and high spouting waters. Olegalla it was who gave away his kingdom, the great
\ncity of Powafuchawowitchahavagganeabba, with the four and twenty tributary cities
\nspread along the valley of Anemoosagoochakakfuela; gave his kingdom to his queen
\nMinneganewashaka, with the yellow hair, long, hanging down. And the queen built
\ntemples, two hundred and seventy, and two adjacent to the spouting waters, where her
\npeople went every morning at sunrise, singing praise to Gitchee, Monihtee, the Creator.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. South of Olegalla lay the kingdom of Onewagga, around about the sea of
\nChusamangaobe hassahgana-wowitchee, in the valley of Mauegobah, which is to say,
\n<\/span>CONSECRATED PLACE OF THE <\/span>V<\/span>OICE, <\/span>a kingdom of forty cities. Here reigned for twenty<\/span>
\ngenerations the line of kings called Wineohgushagusha, most holy and wise, full of
\nmanliness and strong limbed. On the eastward of the lake lay the Woohootaughnee, the
\nground of games and tournaments, where came tens of thousands every autumn to exhibit
\ntheir strength, carrying horses and oxen, and running and leaping, running races with the
\ntrained aegamma. And to the strongest and the swiftest, the king gave prizes of handsome
\ndamsels, with straight limbs and shapely necks, proud, who loved to be awarded
\nhandsome, mighty husbands.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Next south lay the kingdom of Himallawowoaganapapa, rich in legends of the people
\nwho lived here before the flood; a kingdom of seventy cities and six great canals coursing
\neast and west, and north and south, from the Ghiee Mountain, in the east, to the west
\nmountain, the Yublahahcolaesavaganawakka, the place of the king of bears, the
\nEeughohabakax (grizzly). And to the south, to the Middle Kingdom, on the deserts
\nof Geobiathaganeganewohwoh, where the rivers empty not into the sea, but sink in the
\nsand, the Sonagallakaxax, creating prickly Thuazhoogallakhoomma, shaped like a pear.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
