What is recorded here

No human blood has touched the place, no knife has cut the place, no war has broken the place. Only a hidden world lives inside the hill, waiting for the end of human time. The chamber is not a tomb for a dead king. It is a cradle for the next world, built before human skin existed. The boy who touches the chamber does not die. He stops belonging to the old world. The chamber gives him the form and life the new world requires.
