by the Incas. In August, 2011, David Crespy, found by chance an
article about Thierry Jamin and his work, in the French Newspaper,
the “Figaro Magazine”. Immediately he decided to contact the
French researcher.


Thierry Jamin, who has investigated several burial sites in the North
of Cusco, listened carefully the story of David Crespy. Quickly,
he was to confirm the facts behind the story. Accompanied by
archaeologists of the Regional Office of the Culture in Cusco, he
was able to visit the site several times. His preliminary findings are
unequivocal: it is indeed an entrance, blocked by the Incas at an
undetermined moment of History. This one is strangely similar to
a burial site, such as the ones Thierry Jamin and his companions
often find in the valleys of Lacco and Chunchusmayo.

For him, it doesn’t Empire. Soon you will see the Machu Picchu in a different way… make any doubt; he was looking at a «door», an entrance sealed by the Incas. In August, 2011, David Crespy, found by chance an article about Thierry Jamin and his work, in the French Newspaper, the “Figaro Magazine”. Immediately he decided to contact the French researcher. Thierry Jamin, who has investigated several burial sites in the North of Cusco, listened carefully the story of David Crespy. Quickly, he was to confirm the facts behind the story. Accompanied by archaeologists of the Regional Office of the Culture in Cusco, he was able to visit the site several times. His preliminary findings are unequivocal: it is indeed an entrance, blocked by the Incas at an undetermined moment of History. This one is strangely similar to a burial site, such as the ones Thierry Jamin and his companions often find in the valleys of Lacco and Chunchusmayo. Machu Picchu 2012 - www.mapi2012.com - Page 3
