[ well, someone created this group, so I might as well test it. The following article in this Sunday's paper had me exited: (and I quote only excerpts) ] A graduate student is being credited with an archeological find in Peru that could prove to be of major importance in understanding the perplexing history of the Incas. Reynaldo Chohfi, a native of Brasil, said he found the ruins last winter when studying 30-years old aerial photographs of the region. He recently returned from Peru where he confirmed his analysis, climaxing a feat of scholarship and adventure by uncovering the remains of a large settlement a few miles from the most celebrated of all the Inca ruins, the village of Machu Picchu.

A rumour is that Peruvian Gov't tried to take all credit for the find, but backed off after the said student had published his photos in the newspapers.
