Abstract: This paper describes
some of the ideas surrounding the legend of the lost city of
Piatiti preliminary to defining the areas of Inca domain,
investigating the Antisuyo jungle area, and assessing whether
its inhabitants constructed large scale settlements in the
Peruvian Amazon Basin. After examining primary sources that
provide evidence for these claims and assessing both sides of
the arguments, I conclude that such sites could theoretically
have existed. © 2007-2009 Archaeodiversity Research Group &

Resumen: En este articulo se presentan algunas ideas en
torno a la leyenda de la ciudad perdida de Paititi, antes de
pasar a definir en primer lugar las áreas de dominio de los
Incas, investigando la zona de selva del Antisuyo y evaluando si
sus habitantes construyeron asentamientos de gran escala en los
confines de la cuenca amazónica del Perú. El documento
contribuye a la discusión sobre la existencia de ciudades dentro
del Antisuyo y trata de aclarar de que tales asentamientos -de
acuerdo con la leyenda- hipotéticamente podrían haber existido.
