A detailed examination of the controversial expeditions to the
Tayos Cave complex in Ecuador and the treasures glimpsed in its
depths * Reconstructs the expeditions from the 1960s and '70s,
including the Mormon Church's search for lost tablets, Stanley
Hall's quest with Neil Armstrong, and sightings of a metal library,
books of gold, copper plates, and a quartz sarcophagus * Includes
photos from the author's own dangerous expeditions to the Tayos
Caves * Explores connections to Atlantis, Ancient Astronauts, and
the Hollow Earth theory and the possibility of tunnel networks that
extend from the Rocky Mountains to Patagonia The Cuevas de los
Tayos is a cavern complex in the Amazon rain forest of Ecuador.
Named for the tayos, the oil birds that reside within them, these
caves have countless enigmas connected with them, from the
discovery of inexplicable architectural details, to claims of
curses and treasures, to dangerous encounters with the indigenous
people, the Shuar, for whom the caves are sacred. Sharing his more
than 30 years of research into the Tayos Caves as well as his own
explorations, Alex Chionetti examines the legends and mysteries
associated with this site and the explorers who have ventured
within. He details the discovery of the Tayos Cave complex by
Hungarian explorer Janos Juan Moricz in the 1960s, including
Moricz's claims of finding a metal library with books of gold.
Exploring the oral tradition of the Shuar, he explains how this
region was the possible origin of Incan culture and the legend of
El Dorado. The author shares his own dangerous explorations within
the Tayos Caves, and, drawing on unpublished interviews with
speleologist Julio Goyen Aguado, he reconstructs the expeditions of
the 1960s and '70s, revealing the Mormon Church's search for lost
tablets, a British army incursion, and sightings of paintings, gold
statues and skeletons, copper plates, and a quartz
sarcophagus--treasures akin to the Crespi treasure. The author also
shares details from Stanley Hall's suspicious expedition in 1976,
which included astronaut Neil Armstrong. Investigating the lost
civilizations behind the Tayos treasures, Chionetti explores the
possible connections to Atlantis, aliens, Ancient Astronauts, and
the Hollow Earth theory; the caves' links with hermetic societies;
and claims of tunnel networks that extend thousands of miles
through both American continents, from the Rocky Mountains to
Patagonia. Sharing a real-life adventure story wilder than an
Indiana Jones plot, the author shows that Earth's ancient past has
many secrets waiting to be uncovered.
