dripped into coconut shells was sakao. An innocent youth- the rites prescribe that it must bean innocent youth-knelt before me and proffered me the shell, without looking me in theeyes (which is strictly forbidden). The things one does in the name of internationalunderstanding! I raised the shell to my lips; all eyes were on me and I forced down a coupleof mouthfuls. I handed the shell to my neighbor who swallowed the fearful brew as if itwere vintage champagne. The shell was refilled and everyone enjoyed the festive drinkingbout until they soon lay down and fell into a deep blissful sleep. (*)----[*] The same drink is called yangona in the Fiji Islands and kava on Tonga and Samoa.----4 - Temuen, The Island They Call Nan MadolSakao acts like a drug, but is not addictive and does not give you a headache when youwake up. Connoisseurs told me that sakao is supposed to have an effect like LSD. I haveread that LSD produces moments of unprecedented, incredible clairvoyance. If I hadswallowed more of the vile juice, I might possibly have been granted that illuminationwhich would have explained the secrets of Nan Madol in a flash. So I shall have to hand onmy questions to the experts, who so far have been seeing "in a glass darkly," with singularlack of clairvoyance.By the way, Nan Madol is a composite word from the language of the Ponapes and means"Place of the intermediate spaces."
5 - On The Trail Of The Indians5 - On The Trail Of The IndiansFrom the southernmost tip of Sicily to Hammerfest, the most northerly town inEurope, you fly over eight countries in the course of your 2,500-mile journey.Flying from Moscow to the South Yemen, which is about the same distance, yousee seven nations below you. But if you fly from Cacipore to the Rio Grande, some2,500 to 2,700 miles in a north-south direction, there is only one country below youall the time: Brazil. It is just the same in a west-east direction-from the Peruvianborder to Recife on the Atlantic Ocean it is all Brazil. With a surface area of3,289,440 square miles, the gigantic South American country is only exceeded inits endless extent by Russia, China, Canada and the USA.Besides being vast, Brazil is full of mysteries.If a pilot of the VASP airline on a routine flight of 1,250 miles sees towers orvillages or ruins that are not marked on the map, he notes down their geographicalposition and makes a report. But if someone sets out to verify the data only threedays later, the towers, villages or ruins may have already disappeared. What wasonly briefly visible in favorable weather conditions, when the wind was right orafter a forest fire, has already been overgrown, swallowed up again by that greenMoloch, the forest.Brazil is a country of extremes. It is as difficult to get to know its present as it is toget to know its past. Since Dodge, VW, Ford and Chevrolet have been making allkinds of cars here, army pioneers are constantly turning up archaeological findswhen building the new roads intended to open up the vast territories which are stillinaccessible. No one can estimate how much unique material is lost forever in themountains of debris excavated.Archaeology is a universal hobby in Brazil, but professional archaeologists arerare. If finds as rich as these were made in other countries, universities wouldinitiate research projects or governments provide financial aid for excavation teamsunder expert leadership. It is quite different here.The size of the country and the multiplicity of archaeological riches, most of themvirtually inaccessible, mean that planned digging, classification and excavationscarcely ever take place. Even if a forgotten prehistoric town is accurately locatedand accessible with the right kind of vehicle, it takes years before the money toequip a modern expedition is available. Only too often the result is that it comestoo late.Archaeological finds in Brazil are mostly due to the luck, industry and keenness of
