Or, perhaps, knowing the magical and tellurian value given those places by the Incas, did they simply try to 'Christianise’ them? Be that as it may, the surprising fact is that no one until today has noticed the strange and revealing alignment of those religious structures which, judging by the findings of other investigators such as Maria Scholten de D'Ebneth regarding the Route of Viracocha, cannot be attributed to mere coincidence. In 1985 she discovered the main course taken by Viracocha from Lake Titicaca to the Pacific Ocean, an absolute straight line nearly 1,500 kilome- tres long, terminating in northern Peru near Tumbes. According to the chronicler, Cieza de Leon, Peru was for many years deprived of any sunlight. Finally, one day the Sun rose over an island in Lake Titicaca, after which there appeared in the land "a white, corpu- lent man who in aspect and body showed Diagram showing the alignment of religious structures built 1 by the Spanish over the Inca buildings at Cuzco, Peru. great authority and dignity.

Our investigations prove that at least until the middle of this century the tunnel at Cuzco existed and was open. Unfortunately, we are still unable to prove how it was constructed or what the reason was for its being built. In the opinion of Felipe Mormontoy, who is the general coordinator of the Inca Movement and a direct descendant of Brigadier Mateo Garcia Pumakaua, the tun- nel and its passages had various functions, from short-cuts through craggy mountains, to roads leading to concealed sacred sites. He says: "We have hidden rock carvings that seem to have been covered with some- thing that looks like gold leaf. They must be the authentic work of the Wayo-Qhari, the giants that seem to have been the first inhabitants of these lands, the ones who built those gigantic stone works."
