Underground chambers, likely burial sites, are believed to lie behind a door blocked by stones beneath one of the city\u2019s most important buildings: the Temple of the Three Doors. It also tells the story of the Inca Empire, the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors that led to the fall of this civilization, and the mystery of the disappearance of all the royal mummies, including that of Pachac\u00fatec.  <\/p>\n<p>This incredible and incredible tale, full of twists and turns, was documented in its entirety, and filmed, by the cameramen of Jungle Doc Productions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Two films by Thierry Jamin, directed by Alain Bonnet<\/em><br \/><em>with original music by Michel Wiklacz.<\/em><br \/><em>Produced by Jungle Doc Productions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/produit\/the-last-secrets-of-machu-picchu-complete-series\/\">Buy the series on VOD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>The 2 episodes of \u201cThe last secrets of Machu Picchu\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h4>A door to the unknown<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_gallery_0 et_pb_gallery et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_slider et_pb_gallery_fullwidth clearfix et_slider_auto et_slider_speed_4000 et_pb_module\" data-auto-rotate=\"off\" data-auto-rotate-speed=\"\" data-divi-gallery-animation-bootstrap=\"on\" style=\"opacity: 0;\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_items et_post_gallery clearfix\" data-per_page=\"4\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_0_0\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-01.jpg\" title=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu -

In 2011, he contacted the French explorer Thierry Jamin.   Initially skeptical, he was soon convinced by Crespy\u2019s discovery. He proposed the hypothesis that there were burial chambers still intact at the heart of the Inca citadel.  In April 2012, Jamin and his team received approval from the Peruvian Ministry of Culture to conduct electromagnetic surveys at the presumed location of the burial site. The electromagnetic surveys took place in April 2012. They revealed the existence of a staircase leading to a quadrangular chamber, and then to about ten human-sized cavities. Undoubtedly tombs. But they also discovered significant deposits of non-ferrous metal objects (silver and\/or gold).    <\/p>\n<p><em>Duration: 1h15min<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_2_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_2 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/produit\/the-last-secrets-of-machu-picchu-01-a-door-to-the-unknow\/\">Buy this episode on VOD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h4>The Emperor's Mausoleum<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_gallery_1 et_pb_gallery et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_slider et_pb_gallery_fullwidth clearfix et_slider_auto et_slider_speed_4000 et_pb_module\" data-auto-rotate=\"off\" data-auto-rotate-speed=\"\" data-divi-gallery-animation-bootstrap=\"on\" style=\"opacity: 0;\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_items et_post_gallery clearfix\" data-per_page=\"4\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_1_0\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-04.jpg\" title=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-04.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\" class=\"wp-image-349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-04.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-04-480x269.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_1_1\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-05.jpg\" title=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-05.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-05.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-05-480x269.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_1_2\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-06.jpg\" title=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-06.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Secrets of Machu Picchu - The Emperor&#039;s Mausoleum\" class=\"wp-image-347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-06.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/machu-picchu-06-480x269.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>David Crespy was right. This is a major discovery. It may be the mausoleum of the Inca Pachac\u00fatec, the founder of Machu Picchu\u2026 but above all, of the Inca Empire! On September 5, 2012, Peruvian authorities officially recognized the discovery made by Thierry Jamin and the Inkari Institute. But the situation took a turn for the worse when Thierry and his team presented a new project aimed at opening the famous entrance. The head of the Machu Picchu Sanctuary, in collusion with the regional director of the Ministry of Culture (who was later dismissed and prosecuted for embezzlement), sought by every means to prevent this new project. They then launched a vicious smear campaign against Thierry Jamin, employing accusations, insults, and false rumors. Death threats soon began arriving at the French explorer\u2019s home. He was called a \u201cfake archaeologist\u201d and accused of wanting to \u201cdestroy Machu Picchu.\u201d        <\/p>\n<p><em>Duration: 1h14min<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_3 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/produit\/the-last-secrets-of-machu-picchu-02-the-emperor-s-mausoleum\/\">Buy this episode on VOD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_4_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_4 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/produit\/the-last-secrets-of-machu-picchu-complete-series\/\">Buy both episodes<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"The last secrets of Machu Picchu","_seopress_titles_desc":"\u201cThe last secrets of Machu Picchu\u201d tells the story of this incredible discovery at an iconic archaeological site.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"The last secrets of Machu Picchu","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"\u201cThe last secrets of Machu Picchu\u201d tells the story of this incredible discovery at an iconic archaeological site.","_seopress_social_fb_img":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Paititi-02-01-Sur-les-traces-de-la-cite-des-pyramides-1-e1757302542302.jpg","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"The last secrets of Machu Picchu","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"\u201cThe last secrets of Machu Picchu\u201d tells the story of this incredible discovery at an iconic archaeological site.","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Paititi-02-01-Sur-les-traces-de-la-cite-des-pyramides-1-e1757302542302.jpg","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"iawp_total_views":8,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-860","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jungledoc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
