Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – There are many stories of incredible ancient treasures that were deliberately hidden when the Spaniards conquered the Incas. One of these remarkable and precious treasures is the Golden Chain of Huayna Capac.
Treasure hunters have been searching for the fantastic chain since the 16th century, but no one has ever been able to locate it. Where is it hidden? Does it exist, or is it just a myth?
The legend began in the 16th century when the great Inca Empire in western South America was being overrun by European invaders. When Atahualpa was captured and killed by the Spaniards, the Incas hid their gold treasures in caves, lakes, and other difficult-to-access places. Legends tell that among these treasures was the incredible 800-foot-long golden chain of Huayna Capac. The chain was said to be so heavy that it took 200 people to carry it.
