Sekino Yoshiharu

Born in Tokyo in 1949
|
In
1971 Descended the full length of the Amazon River as the Leader of a
Hitotsubashi University Amazon Basin Exploration Expedition. In the next 24
years visited this region 31 times, for a cumulative total of more than 10
years, hiking extensively in the central Andes, the Amazon headwaters region,
Patagonia, the Atacama Plateau, the Guiana Plateau and the Rio Orinoco region. 1975 Graduated from the (undergraduate) Law Department of Hitotsubashi
University. 1982 Graduated from the school of Medicine, Yokohama City University.
After the passage of the American
satellite Landsat II, with the top of Peru, the end of the year 1975, then the
localization of "the pyramides", a few months later - in May 1976 -,
by the Peruvian archaeologist Rodolfo Bragagnini, starting from these satellite
stereotypes, the interest rebounds suddenly, at the end of the decade, to find
this lost city. |

At that time,
29 years a Japanese student, Sekino
Yoshiharu, claimed to have penetrated, only, the area, by the terrestrial
way, in December 1977. He noticed also a second
bizarrery:
two rectangles "mammouth" which were
drawn up in a contrast marked with their natural environment. He met, at the time of his tour,
two Machiguengas Indians who claimed to have
massacred the browser and photographer French SERGE
DEBRU, in 1971, like his two fellow-members. |

"a city built several thousands of years before Incas!"

Several American researchers, among whom HERB SAWINSKI, former
president of Strong Lauderdale Museum Of Science And Archaeology, Florida (today
Graves Museum Of Archaeology and Natural History), but also archaeologist, pilot
and plunger and Mr. PHILIP MILLER, also of Strong Lauderdaley flew over ' ' the
pyramides' ' in
small machines and photographed them to about fifty meters of altitude. One
notes on a several collapse near the node, which would tend to indicate that
they were built or consolidated by the man. The difference in colouring of the
vegetation proves that they are of a different material than that constituting
the surrounding ground. "There is, moreover, two enormous rectangular
formations, currently covered by the trees, and two other semicircular; they are
not as high as the pyramids. They are located at the south, but form part of the
unit. High semicircular edges are drawn up finally at each end of the complex;
perhaps it acts walls". HERB SAWINSKI
noticed also other formations, forms and of size different, but always laid out
in a symmetrical way, according to a plan established obviously well.
However,
HERB SAWINSKI points out: "This version would not explain the other structures. I believe that the whole of this complex could be the vestiges of an old city built by some race having preceded by several thousands of years Incas. " |
