On an expedition in 1969, an Ecuadoran priest named Crespi discovered the Cueva de Los Tayos - an extensive cave system on jungle-covered eastern foothills of the Andes in Ecuador. The indigenous Shuar people of Ecuador had been visiting there for many years, because one of their favourite food sources, the Los Tayos, or nocturnal oilbird, hibernates there. To enter the cave, there are 3 shafts, including one which is a 65-meter drop, so to visit inside the cave is not for the light-hearted. The caves are also home to tarantulas, scorpions, spiders and rainbow boas.
Erich van Daniken brought the knowledge of these caves to the West in the 1970s. The extraordinary thing is, it is purported that an alien library supposedly put there by an ancient, lost civilization of giants, exists inside the cave system, and is comprised of very large rolled sheets of gold, platinum and other precious metals, and inscribed in an alien language. It is said that one oculd not read all the scripts in the course of one lifetime, there are so many.
But organized expeditions (1976 expedition led by Stan Hall and later one led by Josh Gates) with experienced speleologists and also some celebrities such as Neil Armstrong have failed to find the metallic library in the caves. Could it be a case of: "When the time is right?"

What are the credentials for this photo? Who put the inset there and where was it actually found?

I have heard of Father Crespi and his find before, but it seems to be one of those things that drifts in and out of conscious awareness, surfacing again when the collective consciousness is more "prepped".
When Egyptian hieroglyphics were first discovered, there was a huge push to decipher them, furthered by the find of the Rosetta Stone, which passed into British hands when the French surrendered Egypt in 1801.
As Father Crespi has been photographed with one of these artifacts, where is it now, and why aren't we trying to decipher it?
