The Mistery of Belicena Villca of the Lineage . But this does not answer the question . Indeed , to approach the direct answer , it would be necessary to go back thousands of years , to the times of the Kings of my people , of whom Lito de Tharsis was one of the last decendents . That people , who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula since time immemorial , I will call them , for simplicity , " Iberian " from now on , without meaning to adhere to any modern anthropological or racial theory : the truth is that little is currently known about the Iberians because everything referred to them , especially to their customs and beliefs , was systematically destroyed or hidden by our enemies . Now , at the time when it is fitting to begin to tell this story , the Iberians were divided into two irreconcilable sides , who fought to the death through a state of permanent war . The reasons for this enmity were not minor : they were based on the practice of essentially opposed Cults , in the worship of Enemy Gods . At least this was what ordinary members of the fighting peoples could perceive . However , the causes were deeper and the members of the ruling Nobility , Kings and chiefs , knew them well enough . As whispered in the most reserved chambers of the courts , since it was a closely guarded secret , it had been in the days after the Sinking of Atlantis , when , coming from the Western Sea , groups of survivors belonging to two different Races , arrived on the European and African continents : some were white , similar to the members of my people , and the others were darker in complexion , although without being completely black like the Africans . These groups , not very numerous , possessed astonishing knowledge , incomprehensible to continental peoples , and terrible powers , powers , until that moment , only conceived as attributes of the Gods . Thus , it was not difficult for them to dominate the peoples they found in their path . And I say " that they found in their path " because Atlanteans never stopped definitively anywhere but they constantly advanced eastward . But such a march was very slow because both groups were engaged in very difficult tasks , which involved much time and effort , and to carry them out they needed the support of the native peoples . In reality , only one group performed the most “ heavy ” task because , after carefully studying the terrain , it set about modifying it in certain special places by means of huge megalithic constructions : menhirs , dolmens , cromlechs , wells , artificial mountains , caves , etc . That group of " builders " was that of the white Race and had preceded the brown group in their advance . The latter , instead , seemed to be chasing the white group because its movement was even slower and its task was to destroy or alter the constructions of those by carving certain signs .
As I said , these groups never definitively stopped at one place , rather , after completing their task , continued moving east . However , the native peoples who remained in their primitive sites no longer could return to their ancient customs : contact with the Atlanteans the had them culturally transmuted ; the memory of semi-divine men coming from the Western Sea could not be forgotten for millennia . And I say this to raise the unlikely case that any continental people could have remained indifferent after their departure : really , this could not happen because the departure of the Atlanteans was never abrupt but carefully planned , only materialized when it was certain that , precisely , the native peoples would be in charge of fulfilling a " mission " that would please the Gods . For this they had worked patiently on the ductile minds of certain members of the ruling castes , convincing them of the convenience of becoming their representatives in front of the people . Such an offer would be hardly rejected by those who have a minimal vocation for Power , meaning that , for the people , the Power of the Gods has been transferred to some privileged men , some of their special members : when the people have once seen Power , and keep memory of it , its subsequent absence goes unnoticed if the representatives of the Power are there . And known is that the regents of Power end up being the successors of Power . On departure of the Atlanteans , then , always remained their representatives , in charge of fulfilling and enforcing the mission that " pleased the Gods ".
And what did that mission consist of ? Naturally , regarding the commitments undertaken with two groups as different as whites or brown
