Cueva de Los Tayos - The Crespi Project

Many may not be familiar with what we call the Crespi Collection, but it was/is one of the more amazing collection of artifacts from South & Central America that has every been brought together.

Father Carlos Crespi was a Silesian-monk who lived in Ecuador. He did missionary work among the Indian population in remote valleys during his lifetime.

Crespi received or bought many artifacts from the indigenous people in Ecuador.

When questioned, they told him they had found them in subterranean cave systems in the jungles. As time progressed, many of these relics were brought together and kept in the courtyard of the church Maria Auxiliadora.

Unfortunately, many of the artifacts were destroyed in a fire in 1962 or later when the church was restored. Also, many were lost or wound up with treasure hunters.

After Father Crespi passed away, the remaining artifacts of the original collection were removed and made inaccessible to the public.

no ya murio en 1982 y el banco central del ecuador pudo rescatar algunos obgetos pero la mayoria fueron subastado y obiamente los cerdos europeos lo compraron todos. Se dice que estan en alemania ya que hitler mando una excurcion a la cueva en los 40s y sacaron toneladas de cajas de en dentro de la cueva esto lo han dado testimonio los mismo shuaras que ayudaron a los alemanes a encontrar la famosa cueva es mas aun viven alemanes en macas y en morona santiago desertores de la 2 gerra mundia.

El incendio no fué un accidente, sino provocado para poder robar las piezas valiosas.

Estoy muy interesado, como Hungaro, me interesaria encontrar con estos tribus en la Amazonia Ecuatoriana.

Si lo se bien, Juan Moricz se fue a Ecuador para encontar indios aislados del mundo exterior que hablaban languas semejantes a la lengua hungara.

Luego le han mostrado estas cuevas.

Antes de su viaje ya habian sido varios personas de origen Hungaro, quienes al encontrar con indios que no conocian ni espanol ni portugues, se entendian perfectamente.

No se si todavia existen estos tribus.
