Possible Burial Chamber, staircase, rooms with stashes of gold and silver found at Machu Picchu
For more than fifteen years, Thierry Jamin, French Archaeologist and adventurer, explores the jungles of South Peru in every possible direction, searching for clues of the permanent presence of the Incas in the Amazonian forest, and the legendary lost city of Paititi. After the discovery of about thirty incredible archeological sites, located in the North of the department of Cuzco, between 2009 and 2011, which include several fortresses, burial and ceremonial, centers, and small Inca cities composed by hundreds of buildings, and many streets, passages, squares..., Thierry Jamin embarks on an incredible journey in Machu Picchu.
A few months ago, Thierry Jamin and his team think they have realized an extraordinary archaeological discovery in the Inca city discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. This discovery was made possible thanks to the testimony of a French engineer who lives in Barcelona-Spain, David Crespy. In 2010, while he was visiting the lost city, David Crespy noticed the presence of a strange "shelter" located in the heart of the city, at the bottom of one of the main buildings. For him, there was no doubt about it, he was looking at a "door", an entrance sealed by the Incas. In August, 2011, David Crespy, found by chance an article about Thierry Jamin and his work in the French newspaper the Figaro magazine. Immediately he decided to contact the French researcher.
In order to confirm the existence of cavities in the basement of the building, in December 2011 Thierry and his team submit and official request to the Ministry of Culture in Lima, to perform a geophysical survey with the help of electromagnetic (EM) conductivity instruments. This license was granted a few months later.
Realized between April 9th and April 12th 2012, the electromagnetic survey not only confirmed the presence of an underground room but several! Just Behind the famous entrance, a staircase was also discovered. The two main paths seem to lead to specific chambers, including to the main squared one. The different techniques used by the French researcher(s), (Molecular Frequencies Discriminator) allowed them to highlight the presence of important archaeological material, including deposits of metal and a large quantity of gold and silver!

Archaeology geeks! Very exciting news from down South! I can't wait to see what they find!

That's my gold and silver - I was the dead person for whom they laid the precious metals
back away from my Bling...
Empty flatterers, maybe. 
But as Shaman, I do not succomb to threats by mere princess.
I had forgotten all about that lifetime. Now that it's all coming back to me, it's time for me to pack my bags and head back home...I can still see that map I made way back when....
I seriously was going to, but I would have had to go to a different university than the one I wanted and ... well, hey, at the time it seemed like the right decision. Now I regret it!
Maybe we could just head down there and fake it and they'd let us in? 
Because if there was, then you'd be a futurist
The video shows the investigations undertaken last year, which appear to have been quite thorough. They probably could have left out the dousing for better credibility, but the other methods are proven and the results look promising. I'm looking forward to more news on this!
But that dousing bit was ridiculous.

One does not simply walk up to Machu Picchu.
Oh, wait. Yes, you do. 
he's no where near Machu Picchu. Cuzco and Machu Picchu--Andes Mountains. Amazonian jungle--not the mountains. South Peru, not the Amazon jungle. Is it too much to expect a little bit of basic knowledge from journalists?
