En busca del Oro Inca. Los túneles ocultos bajo Cuzco | Luis Tobajas

For centuries, legends have spoken of a vast network of tunnels hidden beneath the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. Secret passageways, underground cities, sealed chambers, and lost treasures are part of one of the greatest archaeological enigmas of the Americas. The Ateneo Mercantil of Valencia invites you to participate in a new session of the "Great Enigmas of Humanity" series, dedicated to exploring some of the most fascinating mysteries of our past. In the lecture "In Search of Inca Gold: The Hidden Tunnels Beneath Cusco," popularizer and researcher Luis Tobajas will delve into the captivating mystery of the Chinkanas, the legendary underground network that, according to tradition, connected some of the main ceremonial centers of the ancient Inca Empire. A journey through archaeology, history, and legend that will allow you to discover the best-kept secrets of the Andean civilization. The session will address some of the most intriguing questions related to this enigma: Did the tunnels described in ancient chronicles really exist? What is their connection to the so-called lost gold of the Incas? What do recent archaeological investigations beneath the city of Cusco reveal? Do ceremonial chambers and unknown structures still lie hidden beneath the Andean subsoil? Through these questions, Luis Tobajas will offer a rigorous and up-to-date perspective on one of the great mysteries of world archaeology. The lecture will also analyze the surprising findings made in recent years using geophysical prospecting technologies, which have confirmed the existence of an extensive underground network of approximately two kilometers between the Sacsayhuamán fortress and Coricancha, the ancient Temple of the Sun. This discovery has rekindled international interest in the legends surrounding the hidden treasures of the Incas. We will also learn about the famous legend of the "golden corn," one of the most fascinating tales associated with the underground galleries of Cusco, as well as the accounts of explorers, the disappearances attributed to these passageways, and the profound sacred symbolism that the Incas ascribed to these hidden spaces. The lecture combines popular science, historical research, and cutting-edge archaeology to bring us closer to an extraordinary civilization and one of the most captivating enigmas that remains unsolved. A must-see for lovers of history, ancient civilizations, exploration, and the great mysteries of humankind.
