Ruins recently discovered in southern Peru could be the ancient "lost city" of Paititi, according to claims that are drawing serious but cautious response from experts. The presumptive lost city, described in written records as a stone settlement adorned with gold statues, has long been a grail for explorers as well as a lure for local tourism businesses. A commonly cited legend claims that Paititi was built by the Inca hero, who founded the city of Cusco before retreating into the jungle after Spanish conquerors arrived.
On January 10 Peru’s state news agency reported that "an archaeological fortress" had been discovered in the district of Kimbiri and that the district’s mayor suggested it was the lost city. Mayor Torres described the ruins as a 40, 000-square-meter fortress near an area known as Lobo. Few other details about the site were offered, but initial reports described elaborately carved stone structures forming the base of a set of walls. The state media report quotes Torres as saying the area will be "immediately declared" a cultural tourism site. Officials from the Peruvian government’s Cusco-based National Institute of Culture(INC)met with Torres on Tuesday. "It is far too early to make any definitive judgments," Francisco told National Geographic Nexus. "We are going to dispatch a team to investigate. Officials expect more details to emerge in the coming days.
Paititi is believed to have been located somewhere east of the Andes Mountains in the rain forest of southeastern Peru, southwestern Brazil, or northern Bolivia. In 1600 a missionary reported seeing a large "city of gold" in the region where Paititi is believed to have been built, according to archival records discovered by an Italian archaeologist in 2001. However, the location of the newfound site falls counter to where historical records indicate Paititi should be. Officials were nonetheless intrigued by the possibilities.
The first task will be to determine if the newfound ruins are the work of the Inca or pre-Inca ethnic groups. Gregory, a U. S. -based psychologist and explorer who has led many expeditions to investigate the Paititi legend,said many people in the tourism-rich region of Cusco have embraced the legend as a business promotion. But he said the claims could hold water, as there are still many important sites to be found. Gade, professor in geography, cautioned about jumping to conclusions. "Paititi is frequently the first thing people mention when something like this is found," Gade said, adding that there are many ruins in the jungle regions of the area.
According to Francisco, the Peruvian government officials will
