(Written in Esperanto by a person from Fadong who claimed to be educated by a Hui scholar, this message was discovered in the western deserts. Obviously the writer did not know that the person who produced the theory of the western advancement had been dead for around 35 years at the estimated date of the writing of this letter. The whereabouts of the westerner are still unknown, though some of the locals told rumors of an educated man who spoke of travelling far to the icy northwest, to try to make contact with a little-understood peoples who call themselves the "Polski." This message has been translated by my friend and political associate, Mao Tse Toung)
Bellow is the only part of the message that has been so far recovered. The papyrus the message was written on appears to be torn about 3/5 down the page, but a strange symbol in the shape of a circle with a cross in the middle of if seems to have been hastily scratched onto the back with a piece of coal, as well as the following word:
YC ELT IAID
The meaning of this inscription is yet unclear, but the handwritting seems to be from the same person that produced the message. The quality of the writing material is of a noticibly lesser quality than the well-crafted penmanship used on the reverse side. The word on the back does not seem to be from the Esperanto language as currently understood.
If the peoples of <<Europe>> had dominated the world instead of the east, then their lust for wealth could have led them to ruthlessly conquer <<Africa>> and the Eastern Continent. They could have even established Dominion over <<India>> and even <<China>>. But your point about Rogel Bacon is very interesting. My location of birth was near the ancient city of Paris, and I have before examined some of Bacon's works. As it turns out, he derived some of his empirical methods of deduction from peopled ostensibly named "Aristotia" and "Plado." The location or time period of these men is currently unknown, but they supposedly came from a region known to the natives as Hellas. If this information proves to be in fact correct, then it adds creedence to your theory about the cultural and intelllectual advancement of the ancient peoples from the far West.
The following message seems to have been written some time later, and samples from the paper lead to the suspicion that it was written in a much colder climate.
Currently, I am seeking a strage people who call themselves the Polski. They are rumored to live in a region known as <<Siberia>>, even though their <<Slavic>> relatives currently reside in <<Europe>>. What drew me to their search were rumors of a large sky god which came down from the sky around 6 years ago. Evidently this object was likely a large piece of rock from space impacting on the surface of the Earth. What is more interesting is that a few years after the blast, strange reports began circulating around the tribespeople north of the Mongol regions about rumors coming from the Polski people, rumors of strange beasts that stalked hunters in the night while they were alone. Physical reports from the hunters describe the beings as having 6 glowing golden eyes, grayish skin, large, pointed teeth, and being somewhat taller than the average person. Strangely enough, these rumors all seem to radiate out from the region where the space rock is said to have impacted the Earth. Tomorrow, I will investigate further into Polski territory and see if I can locate the source of these strange reports.
The following entry is dated several weeks later.
I have found the source of the reports. The local Polski people call them the <<angry night>>, and more sightings are reported everyday through the villages. Just two days ago, a village was found abandoned. The only thing of note that I found was the word "Y Celtiaid" written in blood on the ground in front of one of the dwellings. I have asked a hunter from the village to help me penetrate further into the taiga around the crash sight............... ..............attack........................

This is where the message ends. Our sources predict that the writer of the message was infected and apparently converted into one of the beings described in the message. We do not know of his current whereabouts or of those of the "Y Celtiaid" peoples. Further investigation is required.
