The consequences of the publication

We must not veil our faces, the main problem is that local looters may flood. However, the time that they arrive in this remote and inaccessible country, of particularly impassable ground especially in the rainy season as at present, the Peruvian government that will finally realize the reality of this discovery could militarily secure the area. A rapid evacuation of the possible gold and its securing will be possible with the deployment of the appropriate means, thus eliminating the main objective of the looters even before they could reach the place. The unparalleled importance of this discovery can and should mobilize the international community, which by supporting Peru will ensure the preservation of the site. we protect many important archaeological sites throughout the world, including treasures in billions in temples in India for example, successfully. If the means appropriate to the importance of this discovery are deployed in Paititi under pressure from the public and scientists, this will also be the case here.

Another element is to be taken into account: The local context. In the years 2000, Father Carlos Polentini discovered the site of a major Inca gold mine that he had mistakenly assimilated to Paititi. After many attempts to alert the Peruvian government at the time, he finally succeeded. But at the moment when his discovery was taken seriously, a secret and completely illegal expedition would have been carried out for nine months with five helicopters, to plunder this site … For the only benefit of the president then in charge and his Prime Minister according to Father Polentini, who relies on the testimony of the pilots of the helicopters… All the Incan gold items that were on this site would have been sent secretly to Japan and probably melted. Beyond these testimonies, we must know that the looters and drug traffickers form a mafia in these remote regions of Peru, much more powerful than we imagine… Finally, without even talking about looting: In our world, no government, that of Peru or any other country, would leave tons of gold, whether in the form of magnificent and historically inestimable objects, finish in museums.

The secret around archaeological discoveries is generally a good thing. But it must be understood that in this very specific case, for Paititi and his treasure, maintaining this secret would lead to a cultural catastrophe in 100% of cases. By publishing this discovery, at least the attention of all media and archaeologists around the world will be focused on Paititi, and finally this media coverage is perhaps the only chance for a decent part of these treasures of the history of Humanity may one day be studied, and then return to the Peruvian people.

Another consequence: the site itself is a priori unoccupied, but the life of the few Indians who populate the surrounding area is likely to be disrupted. Honestly, it breaks my heart, and this is largely what led me to reject the publication for a long time. However, we must be realistic : If I have discovered this city so easily, another person will find it sooner or later. It is only a question of months, of days even now, if it is not already the case elsewhere … The great Paititi is there whether we like it or not. It is a historical heritage of humanity, something absolutely unique and invaluable to science, just as the pyramids of Egypt or Angkor, and therefore the area where it is will be one day frequented. It was already the case when Paititi was a huge city 500 years ago. It’s going to happen, it is inevitable. Quite better if it is done under the control of the government and behind the eyes of the public rather than in opacity and anarchic by looters.

With such an archaeological interest, at least the region that is particularly ecologically preserved in which Paititi is located will have a chance to escape the legal and illegal deforestation that is raging in Peru and elsewhere in the Amazon, and above all the licenses to extract or prospect given to oil companies everywhere around (even in protected areas) will be definitely and forever refused throughout this zone. Monitoring the area will prevent illegal gold mining in the region, which is causing terrible damage and poisoning the Indians in a total indifference.

As I said earlier, I had a lot of time to think about all this, and I do not take these consequences lightly. I really did everything to avoid this, but on the one hand I was put back on the wall, and on the other hand we must consider these consequences in all their complexity. The publication will lead to bad, but also good things. I can not pretend to know how things are going to happen now for Paititi. I sincerely hope at best, or in any case at least badly compared to what would necessarily have happened sooner or later, or even what is happening already. However, I expect with some resignation that, whatever happens, the reproaches will rain.

It is likely that some critics of this publication will come from those who, in recent years or decades, have claimed to have found Paititi and published without thinking a second many elements (photos, maps, articles or even Coordinates …) about their theory. Elements witch were amply sufficient to find the location of the site where, they were persuaded, was Paititi. No one has ever found anything wrong with the publication of this works, which is the right of every researcher, but who could very well have revealed the real location of the city. They were rather fascinating. I hope it will be the same this time, but above all that the public will understand that I have tried everything to manage this discovery in a responsible way, the inextricable situation in which this has put me.

The strongest criticisms will undoubtedly come from a part of the academicians who have always refused to envisage the only possibility of the existence of Paititi. It is their job to question this kind of discovery that seems too good to be true, I can understand. But all too often this legitimate scientific distrust turns into pure censorship: some will fiercely deny this discovery without even bothering to read my works, blinded by centuries of error and by the crushing dogma they received in heritage from their masters. Some of them have publicly argued that this city was a legend, have based important works on it. Others will not be able to digest that an amateur has made this major discovery in a field they have been studying for so long. It is always difficult to put ourself in question, but one thing must prevail: the search for scientific truth, without which their entire career would lose all credibility. If Paititi is where all the evidence that I bring suggests clearly, it will soon be found. And then those who have opposed, by a dogma that has come from the depths of time or by self-interest to at least go and verify my affirmations on the spot, will be considered by future generations as today are considered obscurantists from the past. I rely on all the scientists who are humbled in front of the breadth of knowledge that we have not yet touched on, to at least read my work, and if they find it convincing to help me make this fabulous city known and protected.

Finally how could the Peruvian government, whose services have not once agreed to listen to me despite my many attempts to give him my discovery, react? I would sincerely like things to move positively between us, and that he considers this discovery for all that it will bring to him of positive in the short, medium, and long term.

There are a number of ways to quickly verify my discovery in the field, including using LIDAR technology, an ground radar for an aerial overflight that allows to discern the ruins under the vegetation, and has proven itself in Anghkor, among others. It can even be embarked on a small drone ..

I hope above all that this discovery will awaken the general interest in the incredible civilizations of ancient Peru, will mobilize the international community in favor of this country,

that the Peruvian people will benefit from the revaluation of the culture of their ancestors, as well as the longer-term economic benefits of the fabulous legacy the latter have managed to pass on to them.
