"The Introduction of The Book of the High Priests"
Translation by Sir Batholomew Athens Montblanc
"T'was not before in all the ages,that the Golden throne of Engannakuta ,of the Wisdom stands, that any has atempted to sumarize the holly texts,witch speak of the High Priests of the Temples of the Gods of Earth,nor has any before,whose task was much punnier,ever succeeded.
Oi-Aijasthaana'ra Engannakuta-annaaeamana * ,for thy servant begs!
From all the histories of faith in the land,none be as stronge as one would wish and could lead to false faith-the prayings to the evil gods as seen by men and seen by Gods.
So,the reason for witch I have declared my wish and enterprise to write down this tome.
Again and at last I pray to thee,Engannakuta,guide my quil and bring learned greatnes into the words I am about to write.
Ayashal Yama"
- The Holly chant of Engannakuta,its meaning has been lost in the sands of time,however some leaned men sugest it to mean "Oh lord over wisdom Engannakuta-guide me to your glory" .
