Archaeologists of the National Culture Institute (INC) found two villages that were lost underground for more than four centuries. The discovery was done near the Huanacaure Hill, known as the main shrine of the Inca Culture.
The research team, led by Oscar Montufar La Torre, used Spanish chronicles from the XVI and XVII centuries as reference for their investigation, such as the chronicle of Sarmiento de Gamboa. The villages were known as Matagua and Quirirmanta, which were built by the Killke Culture before falling into Inca domination.
