Secrets of the Inca Treasure

For more than 400 years, since Spanish navigators discovered the Amazon River located on mainland South America, the big river billowed over an area of ​​2.8 million square kilometers of dense forest surrounding it, Its inconceivable metamorphosis and the strange legends surrounding it have attracted so many explorers in the world to find a base to travel, to study hunting . But what the adventurers pay attention to especially the Inca treasure in the Amazon jungle.

Mysterious treasure of the Incas

The Incas are a branch of South American Indians . In the middle of the 15th century, the Incas gradually became powerful, building a number one empire in South America, centered on today's Peru , and it spread over an area of ​​800,000 square kilometers. In its Cambodian capital, there is the majestic sun god temple decorated with gold jewels, with "splendid golden park" . In the legends of the Indians, the Inca empire is a golden country .

In 1511, when the Spanish explorer BanVoya was happy because he had just earned some decent gold from the Indians, an elderly chief walked up to his face and said:

" These are the things that make you leave your homeland, accept your life's danger to get it? I can tell you, there is a country, people have used gold to make everyday items like eating utensils . in that place, every place is full of gold ".

The chief pointed his finger at the distance, and BanVôya realized it was the Amazon jungle. To search for such a legendary country, the Inca empire, greedy Spanish people, class after class ventured into groping in the Amazon jungle; but only poisonous snakes and wild beasts in the tropical wild forests lurking on them, occasionally attacking them. Then there were the carnivorous tribes of the wild who stalked them. In this wild murky jungle, ten steps are full of deadly danger. When the Spanish colonists craved but were fed up with fear, a devastating civil war in the Inca Empire gave them the chance to be lucky.

Knowing that news, in September 1532, Paris - the Spanish colonial commander commanded more than 160 soldiers to cross the erected alpine mountains, 3,500m above sea level, entering the country where the Europeans have never been before. Did not encounter any resistance. The insidious Prados trapped ambushes to capture King Ataonphan of the Incas, then forced him to use a lot of gold to redeem his life, forcing the Incas to bring the gold and silver to the house of Ataonphan. In order to redeem his king, the Incas spent the night and night transporting gold and silver from all over to Casamanca . The amount of gold that the Incas had to pay was up to 13,265 pounds (1 pound = 0.545kg -ND), while the amount of white silver was 26,000 pounds.

Gaining such an unprecedented amount of gold and silver made Spanish colonists mad. Just a small army that has huge amounts of spoils, can be said in the history of the world has never been. Although he had caught enough gold and silver, he still persisted, deciding to kill the last "King of the Sun" king of the Incas.

Khia Ataonphan stepped onto the gallows, he gave a curse to the eternal Incas who worshiped the Sun God , the Amazon jungle, and the executioners. Those are scary curses. And indeed, the curse was fulfilled. The greedy bandits who are full of blood, I am full of such crimes are finally subjected to a worthy end to them. The huge amount of gold they robbed from the British people dissatisfied divided into conflict. Within the invasion, a violent conflict took place for several years. As a result, it seems that all the leaders including the four brothers of the Posh, Anmacaro . and their fellow soldiers were either killed or imprisoned. And the huge amount of gold that the Incas were forced to surrender, finally did not know where to go.

With regard to the fate of the giant block of gold that Pareo was able to catch, some people thought that at that time, it was impossible for Paris to take it, but it was robbed by the Incas along with the body of King Ataonphan, then taken away. The hiding place may be in Ecuador's mountain of Rome . The barbaric colonial era had passed, but the huge treasure hunts of the Inca kingdom continued. Many treasure hunters have risked their lives into dangerous places in the Romanian region to hunt for the treasure. But in the dense wetlands and woodlands, where poisonous snakes and wild animals ravaged the vast Amazon basin, many treasure hunters went without them.

In 1989, an expedition team under the leadership of the French French Siberian team collaborated with the Spanish anthropologist HanGomex once again to enter the Amazon jungle. But they did not find the treasure that the Incas mysteriously concealed.

In the Amazon jungle, there is another treasure of the Incas that are of interest to the people, the " Lake of Gold Inca " in legend. According to the traditional custom, the Inca kings who made coronation ceremonies all chose places on the banks of the lake to hold a ceremony. The person who inherited the throne, first used gold to spread all over his body. The new monarch glittered with shining golden light, radiating aura that proved to be the son of the Sun. Next, the new king went to the bathing pool to wash all the gold dust from his body, the subjects came to donate jewels and their most precious things to the king's feet. The king again took all those things and threw them all into the lake, sacrificing for the Sun God to honor . Just like that, from life to life, how many gold and silver and jewels are in the lake.

From the 16th century, after the Spanish conquered the Inca empire , the search and salvage of gold and silver in the lake was carried out continuously without interruption. Finally, it was determined that today 's Colombian Lake Drakavid is the " golden lake" in legend.

In 1545, a Spanish expedition team picked up several hundred gold items where the lake was relatively shallow. That proved the authenticity of the "golden lake" legend and also added appeal to treasure hunters . But the search and salvage of deep water in the lake has never been successful. In 1911, a British company planned to pump out lake water to find treasures, but the results were still zero. In 1974, to ensure that the treasure under the lake did not enter the hands of foreigners, the Colombian government ordered all activities to search and salvage in the lake, and to send troops to guard the lake. The mysterious gold lake treasure becomes an inaccessible secret.

The treasure in the Inca legend is not the only two places, standing in front of the vast and frightening Amazon jungle, the explorers and the hunters are also inevitable and also do not do anything. Okay, just look at the forest and sigh. Is it true that the words of the indigenous people say: On those ancient treasures, there is the soul of the dead Inca kings. Those souls are residing in the jungle, closely guarding their treasures, not letting people find them and taking them away? People still expect one day to discover the secrets of the Inca treasures.
