Talk:Thierry Jamin

The article previously posted was uncorrect and unbalanced, showing Mr. Jamin as a great explorer and archaelogist. Unfortunetely he has only a diplome in history, but he is not archaelogist. As it is stated he has started a third cycle in history and archaeology, but he is not able to show a degree or master in archaeology. All his explorations were unsuccessfully. He visited the petrogliphs of Pusharo (discovered in 1921 by Vicente de Cenitagoya) and launched a fringe theory about the gliphs being a “map to Paititi”. It has been proven many times by serious antropologists (like Mr. Hostnig), that Pusharo has notingh to do with the Incas or Paititi, but Jamin published a book with fringe theories concerning the matter. He also said that he discovered others gliphs, or "geogliphs" but nobody believed him, and he was accused to have altered with photoshop a picture of the jungle in order to show that he discovered the “Pusharo geogliphs”. Pyramids of Pantiacolla, or Paratoari. He reached the site only few years later the official discovery (1996, American explorer G. Deyermenjian). Even here he diffused strange and fringe theories such as the fact that the Pyramids were a ceremonial center of the Incas. Hualla Fortress and other sites in the Lacco valley: those sites were all discovered by Peruvian explorer Carlos Neuenschwander in 1960/70 and not by French Jamin, who was only a visitor/traveller with fringe theories. His research in Machu Picchu: the official government (Peruvian Minister of Culture) refused the permit that Mr. Jamin asked to excávate in Machu Picchu for lack of historical and archeological experience.
