After few years of research in the zone reserved of the Nacional Park of the Manú (Madre de Dios) on the traces of the permanent presence of the Incas in Amazon Rain Forest, and after officialization, in September 2006, of the discovery of new petroglyphs in the sector of Pusharos and the first geoglyphs ever discovered in Amazon Rain Forest, Thierry Jamin and his team think of having deciphered a part important of the message hidden of the petroglyphs of Pusharo.

Gone central of the first third right of the main rock of Pusharo. Does she/it represent really, as Thierry Jamin thinks it, the territory of the former Antisuyu?

This "geographical memory map", achieved by the Incas toward the end of the XVth century, would indicate, according to Thierry Jamin, the site of numerous archaeological sites, distribute on the set of the former territory of the Tahuantinsuyu. Pusharo would so be a very precise map representing the inca empire in general at the time of the administration of Tupac Inca Yupanqui. The first third right of the rock -the most precise and the most important part of the site- would symbolize the ancient Antisuyu, in whom was built untraceable Paititi, whose capital it would have been. So, an archeological site apparently very important was engraved by the Incas in this first third right. Is it about the legendary city? The question remains secondary for Thierry Jamin.
"We think", he says, "to have localized on the rock of Pusharo the site of an archaeological site importing. We already succeeded in localizing, on the main rock of Pusharo, the site of a dozen of natural or archaeological sites, signalled in a very precise manner by the authors of these faces [the Incas]: the rios Alto Madre de Dios, Palotoa, Sinkebenia, the "pyramids" of Paratoari, the city of Mameria, until Cusco and the petroglyphs of Pusharo themselves are represented on the site! Thanks to a method of triangulation, we have a precise idea of the localization of a major site, situated somewhere in the zone reserved of the park of Manú, henceforth."

Cover of the last book of Thierry Jamin, dedicated to the pétroglyphes of Pusharo.
Thierry Jamin has just published in Peru a complete study dedicated to pétroglyphes and to géoglyphes of Pusharo, discovered by his team in 2006. Entitled "Pusharo, la memoria recobrada de los Incas" (in English, "Pusharo, the memory found of the Incas"), published in Lima in November, 2007, this book reveals the incredible message of the petroglyphs of Pusharo and the discovery of the famous Amazonian geoglyphs. It is a unique and very complete scientific study, including numerous photos and numerous drawings of the site and several maps.
Thanks to Mario Martinez, a big friend of Thierry Jamin, the campaign 2008 gets organized at present and is going to benefit from news technological means.
