Realization
By that time the researchers and all of the divers had realized that the lake must be full of treasures due to such rituals that were followed in the ancient times. And then while searching in the stones the divers found pieces of gold and several different figurines.
Studying The Artifacts
Upon discovering such artifacts and on the instructions of Delaere, the divers took the finds onto the surface to study more and analyze and find more about the findings and learn more about their past. The results were quite astonishing and surprising.
Ceremony
In La Paz during a ceremony, Delaere who was also the Belgian co-director of the Huinaimarca Project claimed that he alongside his team had found a total of 24 archeological sites that were underwater and at those archeological sites he had found ‘2000 fragments and objects’.
Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a French Naval officer and an explorer too who was well known for studying the sea and various life forms that reside in it. And almost 50 years ago this guy fueled a legend in the Lake Titicaca which was one of the reasons for conducting this expedition.
The Pot Of Gold
According to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the Lake Titicaca contained within its depth ‘The Pot of Gold’. Almost 50 years ago he found out that there might be ancient civilizations that resided near the Lake Titicaca and it might have been one of the reasons that the pot of gold might be hidden there. It looks like he wasn’t wrong after all.
A 50-Year-Old Legend
The archeologists had really found proof of the claims that Jacques-Yves Cousteau had made even when he had no resources or had not carried out an expedition. And the temple that has been found by Delaere would soon be a tourist attraction and most of the credit goes to Bolivian culture minister.
