Archaeologist and French explorer, "Peruvian of heart", Thierry Jamin is awarded a diploma in History and Geography and in Archaeology at the French Universities of Tours and Toulouse. Since 1998, he dedicates his searches, in the National Park of Manú, Madre de Dios, to the study of the permanent presence of the Incas in Amazonian forest. His first book, published in France under the title "L'Eldorado. A la recherche de Paititi" (Hugo & Cie, Paris, in November, 2006), redraw its nine years of studies and expeditions in the PNM.

Since several years, an enigmatic archeological site, lost in the Peruvian Amazonian jungle, is the center of all our attention. It is about curious petroglyphs indicated for the first time in 1921 by the Dominican missionary Vicente de Cenitagoya. They have no equivalent in Peru.

Since 2001, Thierry Jamin dedicates an important par of his searches to the study and to the interpretation of the petroglyphs of Pusharo. Is it a question of a "map memory" regional and global, realized by the Incas to guide their steps through the jungle ? But to drive them where ?

In this book, the French archaeologist presents the result of his searches and reveals us the exceptional discoveries realized by his team during his last campaigns : new petroglyphs, the first ones Amazonian geoglyphs never indicated until then, and maybe the rests of a ancient writing. For Thierry Jamin, Pusharo could constitute the "stone of Rosette" of the inca civilization...

This book is the first large-scale study dedicated to the petroglyphs of Pusharo. We have to become aware of the exceptional archaeological value of this site today and to adopt the urgent measures to protect it.

Translated from the French to the Spanish by Nicole de Cartagena, this book is introduced by Nicole and Herbert Cartagena and contains at the end a proposition of global development of the site, by the Peruvian archaeologist Raúl del Mar Ismodes.
