Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Jorge Luis Borges

The Moorish Saint Jorge L. Borges craftily grants us the keys to unveiling the present World Order of Mystery Babylon The Great. It goes that a noted heresiarch (possibly Solomon Von Askhkenazim) and a hereditary order of 300 collaborators under the guise of a “benevolent secret society” form one night in London, 17th century, a society of intellectuals called Orbis Tertius (World3), which society becomes involved in studies of “hermeticism, philanthropy, and the Cabala”. The Order endeavors to create a country called Uqbar (Ur [?]), but after a persecution in Europe the Order reappears in America with the new ambition to create an entire world called Tlon. The invented world of Tlon was seeded into reality by these men using a fabricated 40-volume encyclopedia which was “found” complete in Memphis in 1944. “Then,” saith the prophet, “the World will be Tlon”. — analysis by A.A.
