A team of archaeologists in Peru announced they uncovered a hidden Inca tunnel network that puzzled scientists for centuries. The network connects various points of interest in Cusco. Archaeologists Jorge Calero and Mildred Fernandez, along with their research team, gathered sufficient evidence to demonstrate the existence of the tunnel network.

The announcement was made on Monday, January 6, at a press conference in the Municipality of Cusco.

According to their discoveries, the main tunnel of the Chincana, which means labyrinth in Quechua, connects the temple of the sun, and three additional ancient points of interest, Sacsayhuamán, Muyumarca, and Calispuquio.

The discovery of the hidden Inca tunnel network was in the making since 1600 AD
The first clue about the existence of the Chincana came from an anonymous Jesuit chronicle in 1600. The man explained that while a church was being constructed, care was taken not to disturb a deep cave made by Inca kings traversing the entire city of Cusco.
