  • The Ugha became one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas, and either they or their benefactors gave technology to many of the other civilizations of the pre-Columbian New World, including the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. They also had contact with the indigenous people of Nazca, who began practicing cranial deformation to make their own heads resemble those of the Ugha gods. In the 1500s, the Ugha encountered Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco de Orellana, who stole the one of the crystal skulls from the Temple of Akator, and looted the city. It was believed that the Ugha did not survive after contact with the conquistadors. They were believed to have gone extinct, but around 1957, Harold Oxley discovered they were still alive as a culture when he visited Akator, trying to return the Crystal Skull of Akator. However, he did not mention their existence to the outside world. Later that year, Oxley revisited Akator with Indiana Jones, Mutt Williams, Marion Ravenwood, and George McHale, they discovered the Ugha paintings in the cave, and then were attacked by Ugha warriors hiding in the tunnel that connected the valley to the outside world. Chasing the intruders down the steps toward their city, the Ugha eventually took down and captured the five outsiders. Oxley revealed that he had the Crystal Skull in his possession, the Ugha retreated and allowed the team to climb the Temple of Akator. When Irina Spalko entered the valley, her henchmen gunned down the primitive guardians of the valley, resulting in their extinction. After Indiana Jones and his team returned the Skull, a flying saucer was revealed below the temple, altering the valley's structure, letting thus the neighboring river flood into it, erasing the Ugha civilization forever.
