From January 2013, the Inkarri team notices a media surge. But the newspapers distort Thierry Jamin\u2019s statements: his hypothesis that the funeral chamber could be that of Pachac\u00fatec becomes an affirmation for them. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

In Peru, a media wave hits Inkarri<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

On January 19, 2013, the Peruvian newspaper El Comercio headlined its front page with \"Indagan si en tumba de Machu Picchu hay oro<\/em>\", that is to say \"They are looking for gold in a tomb of Machu Picchu\". The daily then explains on the front page that \"the discovery of gold and silver objects in a funerary chamber of Machu Picchu opposes a group of explorers to the Ministry of Culture who refuse to grant them a permit to continue their research\". Then the daily, in its page A16, explains on four columns the discoveries made in April 2012 by Thierry Jamin\u2019s team and the \"conflict\" that now opposes them to the officials of the Ministry of Culture. The tone is deliberately sensationalist. Journalists insist on the \"presence of large quantities of gold and silver\". <\/p>\n

On 7 February 2013, the Peruvian news website Rumbos published a large article on the discoveries made a few months earlier by the Inkarri \u2013 Cusco team. This detailed and objective article sets the powder on fire. <\/p>\n

This time the national media are taking up the topic again. Many local and national radio stations, such as RPP, television channels, like ATV, and numerous newspapers seized the affair. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
