I hope it works better
THE NEW MYSTERIES OF MACHU PICCHU They were violent times and of intense pain for all inhabitants. The old temples were profane on both sides of the
empire. The brilliant swords, the uncontrollable load of the horses and the deafening noise of the guns you affected until the deep entrails of the
sacred valley of Urubamba. The deads counted by thousands while the gold offerings and silver were fused in the always smoky furnaces of the invader.
Nevertheless, the Incas did not lose the faith. Quite the opposite, at the worse moment of their millenarian civilization decided to renew their pact
with the “God of the Sun” and they swore not only obedience to him but also to maintain a “eternal silence” on the location of which they
believed his last mulberry one on the Earth: the wonderful city of Machu Picchu. From that moment, the soul of the town Inca, his beliefs and their
wisdom happened to depend on a secret shared by infinity on men, women and children. A secret that had to resist not only the passage of time but also
the torture, the jail and the greed. BETWEEN THE CROSS AND THE SWORD They were 400 years of absolute silence. From mid century XVI until its
“discovery” on the part of the North American Hiram Bingham, the 24 of June of 1911, the most mysterious city of the Incas disappeared completely
of history. According to they maintain the inhabitants of the zone, “our God never stopped protecting it”. But be that as it may,
“Machupicchu”, or Machu Picchu, its more famous name, was able to escape to its destiny of destruction and sacking, assuring for the posterity the
memory of the talent of the men constructed who it around year 1300 of ours was. The citadel is to about 2400 meters on the level of the sea and
receives to from thousand tourists worldwide who try to include/understand, “of first hand”, the mysteries that lock up their narrow side streets.
Nevertheless, just today, the scientists and investigators, after enormous efforts, begin to discover new and disquieting truths on this singular
place. Recent excavations have been able to give with the rest of corpses of 135 people in which the “old cemetery” is considered. From their
study, the archaeologists could state that he dealed with the skeletons of 109 women and 22 men, between whom is due to tell 5 children. This out of
proportion number of feminine rest and the anthropological verification of the beauty of its factions quickly woke up the curiosity of the
investigators. According to they create many of them, a part of the women who inhabited the city were denominated “the Acllas”, or “selected”,
dedicated to the tasks of the cult. Another group, which also would include the children, was formed by the young people who in charge of the domestic
services and that, as she is deduced, did not have obligatorily to be virgin as their mistresses. The few men, in as much, would be their guards These
beautiful women were there before the Spanish conquest or, on the contrary, they took refuge there of the profanadores of temples? Nobody knows still
it with certainty. But the questions appear to each step and whenever it is deepened in your subject, they appear more enigmas. Machu Picchu was,
apparently, a “Akllawasi” - “house of the chosen ones” - in which were realised all the complex ceremonies of the cult to the Sun. According
to I leave to writing the friar Gaspar de Carbajal, participant of the expedition that discovered - and baptized the Amazon river, “spoke us to the
Indians of a province of women, mountain inside, who live in stone buildings and dress in fine wools to usanza cusqueñas…” The dates and the
description agree perfectly with the new discoveries Was the beautiful inhabitants of the citadel the “Amazon”? They will be “acllas” the ones
that gave rise for all time to the most fabulous American legend? Several historians create sincerely that yes. WHERE IT IS THE GOLD? But in this
point the mysteries do not pause. No matter how hard one has looked for and looking for, in any building of the city neither either in the deep
excavations that have become throughout last the 90 years, one has not occurred with any arms nor either, something strange, with gold adornments of
any type. According to Luis Valcarcel asserts the Peruvian historian, “is evident that this must that lately as city of the empire inhabited the
neither military nor high dignitaries”. A good interpretation of the findings, without a doubt, but that is contradicted with others, less
reasonable, than does not maintain that its treasures, between which was an enormous pure gold sun, which it is known vulgarly with the name of
“brilliance”, in were hidden in some camera or tunnel of many that they have begun to be discovered recently. So far the excavators, many of them
nothing scientists and only guided by the greed, “have only rescued” one 600 containers for diverse aims, 200 pieces of bronze and very few of
silver And the gold? Not one gram… Recently, and practically in “silence”, without alerting to the tourists, and with the aid of recognized
local and foreign investigators, a group of espeleólogos - studious of the caverns some caves are shortage to whose it has taken them topography
through intrincate passages that properly have still not been explored, near the citadel Inca. In addition, according to they speculate, several of
them could “reach the same foundations of Machu Picchu”. AN UNDERGROUND WORLD One of these entrances to this strange world of eternal shades,
apparently, has been located in the mountain of “Hayna Picchu”, covered by a leafy vegetation and partially flooded, which will demand the work of
an equipment of subaqueous espeleólogos arranged to cross this singular gallery. In the mind of many of these investigators still old missing
exploratory histories in “the intraterrestrial” world of the Incas resonate, in this case of the city of Cusco of year 1624. A very peculiar one
is the one of Francisco de Rueda, Juan Hinojosa and a third personage met with the name of “Orué”, who entered in the mysterious “chinkana”,
near “Sacsayhuamán”, and it was never known more of them. And either the references of a local cronista, Mateo Garci'a Pumakawa, who in 1814
revealed to Colonel Domingo Luis to him Astete, the existence of “one old network of tunnels” that involved all that zone. What many thought they
were “stories of Indians” has finished verifying itself scientifically. Recently the Spanish archaeologist Anselmo Pi Boulevard demonstrated that
the legendary tunnels exist. According to the images that were obtained by means of the waves of the radar, during the accomplishment of Wiracocha
Project, in the year 2000, he verified himself that the “Chinkana de Sacsayhuamán” communicates in line “straight” with the Temple of the
Sun, with the Convent of Santa Catherine, with the Cathedral, or Temple of the Inca, with the Palace of Huáscar, the Temple of Able Manco and the
“Huamanmarca”. He is not less certain that when the first conquerors arrived at Peru on whom he had constructed “to Sacsayhuamán” and its
adjacent tunnels and the villagers, according to maintains the stories, they limited themselves to respond that these masses of stone and the
underground passages “always had been there” and that they attributed the old ones them to a not known race previous to the Incas baptized like
the “[b
“Ñaupa Machu”, , which is translated like “the very old ones”, or those of the “old age”. There will be
constructions of this type in the entrails of Machu Picchu? The espeleólogos, scientists and divers will be able to give with them? It knows it to
nobody with certainty. But of the unique thing that we can be safe it is that the new history begins here that without a doubt, like no other previous
investigation, will have to try to discover the secret major of the Incas.
