Long ago, there was a great city called Bigak. Its location is completely unknown. However, it is known that it was abandoned in ancient times. When Bigak was abandoned, its population left it behind, along with its Chronicle, and migrated, for enough generations that much of their technology was lost, and when they reached civilization, their king fled to the city of Uruk, in ancient Mesopotamia. ("Of course, now that location's in Iraq," the man commented as he told the legend, "but four and a half thousand years ago it was the most powerful city around.")
