are u talking about 1 of the hall of records? this is a dam good mystery!



Richard Wingate visited the collection in the late 1970s, when the 70,000 pieces took up three rooms. He described it as follows: “Rolls of intricately figured sheet metal stood haphazardly piled around the shed. The priest explained that it had been torn off the interior walls of long abandoned, vine-choked buildings in the inaccessible eastern jungle. The Indian artifact hunters bring this wallpaper in three different metals: gold, a metallurgically unique, untarnished silver, and an unknown alloy with the appearance of shiny aluminum. Every square inch of the peculiar sheet metal is decorated with intricate designs, some of them depicting long-forgotten ceremonial occasions and some of them humorous and cartoon like. The rolls come in heights that vary, for the most part, from eight to twelve feet, and they are often fifteen to thirty feet long. These lengths are composed of many individual four-foot sheets which have been artfully riveted together.”

Half a millennium ago, when the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Peru and began the conquest of the Inca Empire, they saw silver and gold everywhere. The Spanish army captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa and demanded a ransom in gold and silver, which filled a room measuring 22 by 17 by 9 feet, amounting to 6.5 tons of gold and thirteen tons of silver. The gold was worth two million pesos; the silver, 350,000.
Alas, the Spanish were only interested in its monetary, not artistic value. They therefore melted the artifacts down to ingots for easier transportation to Europe, where substantial amounts of the booty never arrived; many of the ships were sunk by pirates!

yup thats it , would be cool if it was really found.

Hello to all.

I'm just trying to contribute by adding more information to this topic.

While reading, I remembered an odd character, Udo Oscar Luckner (¤ 1925 - † 1985), and the stories told in his books.
He claims to have had encounters with beings who live in the underground, in caves and endless tunnels that permeate the entire underground of South America. The entry for these tunnels is at somewhere in Serra do Roncador, located in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
Local people say that Luckner inherited the notebooks of Colonel Percy Fawcett, explorer of the Royal Geographical Society of England, who walked around the area and disappeared in search of the subterranean remains of the ancient Atlantean civilization. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett)

In one of his books, Luckner says he had access to an underground site, full of books, some made ​​of gold.
Asking why the books were made of gold, the subterranean beings would have told him that "surface people" have forgotten the true value of gold. They said the real value of gold is not physical, but resides on the property that gold has to make humans retain the knowledge gained.
For this reason the books were made ​​of gold. People who read the books, never forget what they have read.

There are many common points about these facts and this forum topic.
I regret not having the time to make a more dedicated research.
The several books that Luckner wrote (over 14) certainly have a lot of information related to the topic.

Thanks for posting this interesting topic.

Find it interesting that there are house cats and elephants....as well as a pyramid that has its top in place....

Has to be something from Egyptian origin traded in the early days.........there wasnt a single elephant in America other than woolly mammoths....and those are clearly regular african/indian elephants
