The Evidence for the Existence of the Mythological United States

By Norman X. Scozzafova

It has been twelve-hundred years after the nuclear holocaust and civilization has grown from the ashes but the memory of the horrific destruction as well as what had gone before have been forgotten.

An archaeologist in that future time has come across mentions in ancient texts of a great and glorious land from the past, called simply "the United States". Though most of his colleagues denounce the matter as belonging to myth and legends rather than historical fact, he assembles all the hints throughout the historical record and goes off in search on physical remains.

Written like an historical text in the future, it gives us the long view of our world and what it might mean to some future researcher who knows as little of the truth as do current historians about what lies in our own murky past.

Fans of my Young Wizard series of books, will find Anaboraxus' appearance in the historical record rather amusing.

PREFACE

and a brief explanation of this work:

Man is a most curious creature indeed. Alone of the species on this planet, he has a burning desire to know from whence he came, nor has any other species the fear of what a search for such knowledge might uncover. Hence, there are many hundred Dead Sea scrolls waiting for some brave scholar to cast aside personal biases and be willing to learn something new, or at least be willing to have the wits shocked out of himself.

And so, working with a base-date for ‘civilization’ of about 5,000 B.C.E., the modern historian guesses ‘appropriate dates’ for the major stepping stones of our aboriginal ancestors – except for a few crackpots who ascribe very ancient dates for civilization whether home grown or introduced by some alien groups.

I have studied much of history, primarily the ancient histories of Mesopotamia, India, and America. And all my studies have led me to the conclusion that archaeologists are running scared, but from what? Does it seem so unreal that an advanced civilization could have existed some 10,000 years ago and dwindled away, becoming the wandering tribes of migrant hunters-fishers-farmers that we know used stone tools and implements?

Looking around at our greatness, it does appear a little humorous to think our grandchildren might be cave-dwellers fighting for survival with wooden clubs. Some legacy! Some generation gap!!

So, this volume encompasses that possibility.

In the event of a nuclear war in which certain anti-radiation gases were released to clean the air, the remainders of civilization would find themselves with not much more than clubs and stones, and their wits. Though knowledge of manufacturing would be retained, the facilities would have been destroyed. And I am almost certain that the people would be more concerned with raising enough food to eat than how to make safer seat-belts or better color TV sets. And even a concerned person could not be sure that his notes and writings of the past glories would survive the brutal stone-and-club wars that might follow.

This situation is the one faced by a future historian, trying to piece together certain myths of an ancient great land known as the United States – a land of which no traces remain. I hope that his search through the rubble of time entertains, amuses, and perhaps even enlightens.

Journey, then, some twelve-hundred years hence…

INTRODUCTION

In the last printing of the Misenti World History (15 vols., Doloklan University, 1195 f.k.) only two volumes deal with the period of history prior to 350 f.k.

Volume One has two sections: ‘Creations’ and ‘Migrations’. The first deals with various folk tales and myths dealing with early cultures explaining the creation of the universe, foremost among which is Salb’s Creation Tale. The latter deals with the various hypotheses put forward by Misenti scholars of the locations where all the various tribes originated, where they migrated, and how and when they finally settled.

Volume Two is entitled Ancient Histories and deals with the period of time from 85 f.k. to 350 f.k., or from the conception of the Olon calendar in Porta to the inauguration of Amexikan King Tepelo’s Historical Index.

Neither of these two volumes (nor do any of the remaining thirteen) mention the United States, not even to note it as an ancient myth or at least ridicule it as an obvious fantasy of purely primitive thinking.

My grandfather, the late Chief Misenti S. R. Baltin Danels, had much to do with the omission. He considered himself a ‘historian’s historian’, a purist in the field. It was he who suggested all mention of the United States be removed, for it would only encourage daydreaming and time wasting, rather than serious historical endeavor.

But no other mythical land was removed from the World History, only the United States. The Chief Misenti considered the United States myth cycle embodied the totality of fanciful stupidity and, as it had no historical relevance, had it removed.

On the other hand, he did authorize many books for publication that mentioned the United States, so long as a valid historical purpose required its mention.

My first introduction to the subject was during my studies at Doloklan. I was studying the ancient tablets of Porta and translating some for practice when I came across the cautionary tale of Riann I wasting his life away searching for the great United States. When the Chief Misenti heard of my quick fascination, I was reprimanded for being senseless.

Any conquered peoples would tell their conqueror of an older and greater land just to belittle his victory and bring ridicule to his own small glories. If you are going to study the ancient histories, learn the ways of their barbaric thinking!

I quickly gave up my chase for the United States.

Later, however, I found further mentions of the same United States from more reliable sources, not at all conquered peoples ridiculing their conqueror. This information I kept to myself.

My grandfather passed on in 1197, secure in his knowledge that I was engaged in the sane pursuit of ancient history. Surely he rails in his grave knowing that not only I but most of the historians in our family have been caught up in the magic of the United States and have aided my search as well as the preparation of these findings for publication.

If all this work has been for naught, no more than a piece of fanciful stupidity, then the waste of this group of great minds falls squarely on my head – the spark of their interest resulting from my own burning desire. Even so, we all agree that it has been a great deal of fun.

And we hope you may find it of interest as well.

The FIRST PART, being:

The WRITTEN Evidences

The great majority of the written evidences of the United States came into existence between 800 and 1000 f.k. and these works are generally dramatic and moralistic writings, as well as not very factual. That seemed a period when Misenti became story-tellers rather than historians. Complete histories were written, but it was never shown where the facts ended and the writer’s hypotheses began.

Evidences of a more factual nature come to us from the period between a.150 and 800 f.k. Until twenty years ago, the earliest known mention of the United States was dated 414 f.k. Recent excavations have unearthed even older references: Til Poran’s tablets (a.300), Nostern’s tablets (a.200), the Komenora tablets (a.180), and the Borigan tablets (a.150). From these writings we have gained a much better perspective of the United States, enabling one to comprehend it as a very real political entity rather than the land of the gods’ golden cities as the later writings claim.

I invite you to examine the evidences for yourself.

Chapter One –

The Tablet References,

200-800 f.k.

Kalipe, King of ancient Amexiko at the opening of the third century f.k., built a city for the priesthood in the base of a cliff in the Laperta Mountains just seventeen kilometers from his Royal Palace at Tiklan. This religious capital, named Lumultan, consisted of a palace for the King, three public buildings, five grim dungeons, five warehouses, and seventeen temples, seven built against the cliff so the most important Priestly and Sacred rooms could be burrowed into the mountainside.

The Temple of Komitum, third largest structure in the city, had six such hidden rooms each entering into a long, low corridor leading to the outside. Walls of the rooms were covered with carved prayers and spells to warn intruders of certain death for entering the Hall of Komitum. One room, the bedchamber/study of the High Priest, was adorned with an oversize portrait of Komitum gazing upon a calendar of the annual religious ceremonies held at Lumultan. And from this calendar, we learn of the dia kalamorta (Day of the Dead-Tongue) held annually at dawn after the fifth new moon of the year.

A tablet (Doloklan Tablet #AGXA-3471) found in one of the five public rooms in the Komitum Temple proper explained some of these ceremonies, including this reference to the dia kalamorta:

When the sun has appeared, after the night of Tanilasank, all those men who came in evil, invoking a glory of the seven hells of the accursed United States, spitting in the eye of Hengavela for destroying the riches of that unclean [ land ], should be gathered, all of them together, for the just will of Hengavela on his day of the dead-tongue.

When those tongues have passed, then shall the land be cleansed and freed from the wraths [ of Hengavela ] and the crops shall be made pure and in abundance in the time before the harvest.

Thus, every year around the middle of Salliman, the Ceremony of the Dead-Tongue took place, in which human life was sacrificed to Hengavela, those who had spoken the hated name of United States.

A few ancient records of this ceremony have survived and from these records we discover at least 1,864 persons were sacrificed for this crime from a.218 to a.464 f.k. when the ceremony dia kalamorta was outlawed by King Wanda III.

An inscription (Doloklan Tablet #AGXA-3583) from the second year of King Palo II (a.290) lists these sacrifices and their crimes:

Nitala, the potter; for telling of the great cities of the United States.

Kalipe, the wheat-thrasher; for
