What Paititi represents
It is difficult to perceive and even more to express what this discovery represents.
Not what it represents to me, but what it represents as such, its importance.
I did not stop during one year to step back and come back on it, to try to apprehend it in a more posed, more detached way, to minimize it by saying to me “go down on earth”
But every time I looked back on my results, their exact accuracy, and what they implied, it seemed to me to be disproportionate.
In my heart, I hope that people will be able to apprehend the disproportion of this discovery, but I can not convince myself.
We are so accustomed to see hundreds of information scrolling every day, always presented as extraordinary …
Difficult for someone who would never have heard of Paititi before, or who is no more familiar than that of archeology, to grasp how much the discovery of a city of this size, this historical importance , Is exceptional.
By exceptional, I mean it never happened before.
And that probably will never happen again.
I sometimes try to make comparisons, but they are always awkward, seem pretentious, and yet fail to express what I think should be considered here. It is necessary to have in mind the incredible monumental Inca architecture, the immense size of the geoglyphs found, the mysticism and the cultural refuge aspect of this city, the quantity of magnificent objets it probably contain… It size…
Machu Pichu, the famous Peruvian site known by all, known as one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World”, is only a village compared to Paititi.
It does not make sense to compare such different sites, but the only thing I see that could compete in size, spectacular, and historical significance with this discovery are the Egyptian pyramids. But they were never really “discovered” by our civilization, and above all, were plundered long before any scientist interested in it.
Here we have a gigantic city, like Angkor in Cambodia, and it is the last capital of an empire that was one of the largest, richest, and powerful that never existed. Paititi, if it has not been plundered, which is very possible, represents an absolutely huge historical leap.
The more I advance in research, the more I realize how this city is the keystone of the history of the whole continent, and therefore of the culture of the millions of people who populate it.
There is a good chance that this city is pre-Inca, Paititi is perhaps, even if it is more hypothetical, at the origin of the Incan civilization … Its kingdom, known throughout all the continent, would have constituted an empire at least as important as theirs, in earlier times.
All this is, incredibly, totally unknown by us.
The absence of deciphered writing in the Andes, the annihilation of all the memory of the peoples by the colonizer, as of 95% of the population itself, the unique nature of the Amazon, the only immense extent remained largely unexplored … Only this very particular context could still reserve in the 21st century such a discovery to humanity on its history.
Words and comparatives miss me. They do not actually exist.
Paititi is the most incredible legend that comes true.
