Thierry Jamin (French}: [tieʁi ʒamɛ̃] - born 19 December 1967 - is a [[France|French]] explorer and [[historian]] who has worked with a team in the search for [[Paititi]].
Jamin is a specialist in Inca [[archaeology]].


In 2001, Jamin reaches the site of Pantiacolla. The pyramids are in fact natural formations but Jamin discovered several Inca artefacts in the same area. At the site of [[Pusharo]] he realized that some of the petroglyphs are only visible at a certain moment of the day. His assumptions are that the ancient rock site could be an ancient roadmap leading to [[Paititi]]<ref>{{cite news

Thierry Jamin (French}: [tieʁi ʒamɛ̃] - born 19 December 1967 - is a French explorer and historian who has worked with a team in the search for Paititi.

In 2001, Jamin reaches the site of Pantiacolla. The pyramids are in fact natural formations but Jamin said to have find some artefacts in the same area. At the site of Pusharo he realized that some of the petroglyphs are only visible at a certain moment of the day. In July 2006, Jamin returned to the area of the Pyramids of Pantiacolla. He then returned to Pusharo and studied the petroglyphs In 2009, with the help of the French television TF1, the city of Toulouse and private partners, Jamin studied the site of Mameria. A few weeks later, Jamin started a new exploration campaign in the Valley of Lacco. He contributed to valorize some sites like the fortress of Hualla Mocco (area Hualla), and the small cities of Torre Mocco and of Lucma Cancha (area Quinuay). He also contributed to valorize the small cities of Patan Marca and Llactapata (area Juy Huay), the ceremonial site of Puccro (area Mesapata). In the area of Ccorimayo, he studied another city, also called Llactapata, and composed of about 150 buildings, a dozen streets, and two main squares.[1] In 2010, Jamin returned to the valleys of Lacco and Chunchusmayo. There he explored new areas and studied ruins of Inca Tambo, the third Llactapata, and from Nuevo Mundo. After further investigations at Monte Puncu, he returned to Lacco where he studied the citadels of Pantipayana (area Rataratayocc), Apucatina (area Pallamiyocc), Inca Raccay (area Ccorimayo), Chaupichullo (area Chaupichullo), Hatun Monte (area Juy Huay) and Puma Cocha (Juy Huay).)[2]

On December 19th 2011, Jamin submitted a research project with the objective to use ground‑ penetrating radar technologies to determine if some cavities were located behind the door, which was agreed by The Ministry of Culture[3]. Jamin's team investigated the site in March 2012.[4].

With the help of several technologies, the team confirmed the existence of cavities and an important quantity of archaeological material*[5]. Based on the results of the non‑techniques used by Jamin's team, one of their assumptions is that the site could be a burial tomb.*[6][7].

On May 22nd 2012, Jamin submitted a new project proposal to the Ministry of Culture to open the door. In November 2012, the Ministry of Culture refused authorization to excavate the site[8].

Death threats and polemics

These allegations have been strongly denied by Jamin who suggested that the Regional Direction of Culture is afraid of what this discovery could reveal about Machu Picchu or that they are trying to steal this discovery from the French archaeologist. Experts are also discussing the possibility of this tomb having been used as the mausoleum of the Inca emperor Pachacuti[9].

Early 2013, in relations to the discovery of Machu Picchu, Jamin received new anonymous death threats[10].

Jamin and his team are actively participating in awareness campaigns to protect archaeological sites from looters and from non-sustainable touristical and industrial projects[11][12].
