During the last night of his life on July 25, 1533, the Inca Emperor Atahualpa sent a direct order to Ruminahui, his most trusted field commander, to hide all of the empire's gold. At the time, Ruminahui was leading a train of 11,000 llamas and mules laden with the gold across the Andes Mountains to Cajamarca in Northern Peru. Upon receiving the directive, the commander immediately complied, and fled into the Llanganati Wilderness, only to be pursued by the Conquistador Gonzalo Pizarro and one thousand Spanish soldiers. One year later, Conquistador Pizarro returned to Cajamarca with barely a dozen men and without the gold. For the next five centuries, hundreds of expeditions costing millions of dollars would be undertaken to find the lost treasure known as 'El Dorado' or the 'Lost Inca Gold'. Yet, the location of Atahualpa's gold remains a mystery. On a warm autumn day, Professor Grant Cole sits behind a desk in Seville, Spain, reading an ancient manuscript and inadvertently stumbles over a shocking detail involving Atahualpa's treasure. This newfound knowledge will pit him against powerful worldwide intelligence agencies as well as Vatican envoys and the world's most notorious drug trafficker. Thrust into the center of the centuries-old search for the Lost Inca Gold, Cole will be relentlessly pursued. He finds help from an unexpected ally. Halston Von Thiakopolous is an impulsive and wealthy reality television star, but beneath that superficial image is a fierce and determined woman. Together, Grant and Halston will plunge into the violent and mysterious world of El Dorado in their quest to answer one of the world's greatest mysteries before they become its latest victims.
Chronicle of an expedition into the Llanganati Mountains of Ecuador in search of 750 tons of worked gold, which the Incas hid from the Spanish conquistadors after Pizarro executed the Sun King, Atahualpa.
This is the story of how gold can intoxicate even the most mild mannered of historians, about how characters - both real and fictional - become seized with the desire to claim lost treasure from even the most inhospitable areas of the world.
Explores the history of the Inca empire and its overthrow by the Spaniards, and chronicles the author's search for the legendary missing gold of the Inca sun king that may lie hidden in the mountains of Ecuador.
Eight billion dollars? worth of Inca gold and silver are rumored to be hidden in an unmapped region of the Andes. This is the captivating story of that fabled treasure and the centuries-old spell it has cast on many, including a young American student, Peter Lourie. While completing anthropological fieldwork in Ecuador, Lourie heard the legend of Atahualpa?s ransom. The Incas gathered seven-hundred tons of gold (Sweat of the Sun) and silver (Tears of the Moon) to purchase the freedom of their king, Atahualpa, from Pizarro and his conquistadors. After the Inca ruler?s murder, the treasure vanished into the forsaken Llanganati range of the Andes. Lourie abandoned his graduate school ambitions to search for Atahualpa?s ransom. His quest for clues and his journey into the heart of the Andes is an absorbing and exciting detective story. Lourie?s account is also unforgettable for its revelations about the lives and characters of seasoned treasure hunters, the obsessed few lured by the siren song of legendary gold.

Historical documents and legends are replete with treasure lore providing stories of lost treasure founded in real events and fact, this book relates just such a story. Although it can and has happened, it is a rarity for a treasure deposit to be discovered by the "merest chance." True, many lost treasures have been discovered, but typically the discovery is made through years of exhaustive, dedicated research, and the blood, sweat and personal sacrifices of thorough exploration. Other treasures have been discovered just to be lost again. Still others have proven to be hoaxes, while others remain hidden awaiting discovery. This is the story of a quest for one such treasure, portions of the ransom of the Inca Atahualpa purportedly spirited into an obscure mountainous region of Ecuador known as the Llanganatis by Atahualpa's half-brother General Rumiñahui in the year 1534. Treasure stories like any story, have a beginning, middle and an end. Throughout any story there can be misdirection and misinformation, but the paranoia, greed and lust associated with possessing secrets associated with a lost treasure deposit appears to amplify a storyteller's incentive to hide and obscure the complete truth through misinformation and misdirection. For this reason, the closer one can get to a first person narrative, the closer one gets to the truth. Previously, Commander Dyott's involvement in the story relied on third, fourth and fifth hand accounts that increasingly blurred the lines between fact and fiction. Now we have the ability to bring everything back into focus with first and second hand accounts. Dyott's account will not be paraphrased, but background information and clarification will be provided in order that the circumstances that form the setting for events, statements and ideas, can be fully understood and assessed. For the first time in print, posthumously related through extensive personal correspondence, George M. Dyott and the "family in New England" expose their involvement in a Quest for Inca Gold, Atahualpa's treasure. Once and for all the fog of misinformation, misdirection and literary license which has obscured the truth for decades shall be lifted. With the characters unveiling the story in their own words as it developed, through Commander Dyott's Llanganati expedition of 1947, the reader is provided an experience like none other. Whether the reader has any previous knowledge of the story of Atahualpa's ransom and the quest for his treasure, or is just discovering the story for the first time is irrelevant. The intriguing story about to be told provides sufficient background information and new evidence that exposes a different version of events. Regardless if you are an active explorer, treasure hunter, historian or armchair adventurer, the true story of Commander Dyott's journey into the unknown awaits within.
