But in Peru, no one listens to him. In 2011, he contacts French explorer Thierry Jamin. Initially skeptical, Jamin was soon convinced by Crespy&#8217;s discovery. He hypothesized that there were still intact burial chambers at the heart of the Inca citadel. In April 2012, Jamin and his group obtained the green light from the Peruvian Ministry of Culture to carry out electromagnetic resonance surveys at the supposed location of the burial site. The electromagnetic resonance tests were carried out in April 2012. They revealed the existence of a staircase leading to a quadrangular room, then to a dozen cavities of human dimensions. These were undoubtedly tombs. But they also discovered the presence of large deposits of non-ferrous metal objects (silver and\/or gold).         <\/p>\n<p><em>Duration: 1 h 15 min<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>The emperor&#8217;s mausoleum<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;863,864,865&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;250ms&#8221; auto=&#8221;on&#8221; auto_speed=&#8221;4000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>David Crespy was right. This is a major discovery. Perhaps the mausoleum of Inca Pachac\u00fatec, the founder of Machu Picchu&#8230; but above all of the Inca Empire! On September 5, 2012, the Peruvian authorities officially recognized the discovery made by Thierry Jamin and the Inkari Institute. But things got complicated 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 (later dismissed and prosecuted for embezzlement), tried everything in their power to prevent this new project. They launched a brutal smear campaign against Thierry Jamin, using accusations, insults, and false rumors. Death threats soon arrived at the French explorer&#8217;s home. He was called a \u201cfake archaeologist\u201d and accused of wanting to \u201cdestroy Machu Picchu.\u201d        <\/p>\n<p><em>Duration: 1 h 14 min<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/machupicchuen&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Rent or buy on VOD&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Last Secrets of Machu PicchuThe Last Secrets of Machu Picchu, a two-part documentary (1 hour 15 minutes each), tells the story of an incredible discovery made at one of the most famous archaeological sites on the planet.
