Time travelers from the future spotted in Peru - just days ago

Eyewitness reports and the discovery of a coin dated 2094 have led
researchers to speculate that time travelers visited the ruins of an ancient Incan temple
in the jungles of Peru within the past six weeks.
Archaeologist Dr. Jose Sabittini told Peruvian Your World Report
correspondent Ragan Dunn, in Lima, Peru, there is compelling evidence to suggest
humans from the future spent at least several hours at the site.
Some experts - none of whom have had anything to do with the investigation - have
publicly branded the incident a hoax.
But Dr. Sabittini and a colleague, August Benavides, say they are prepared to finance
and conduct a full-blown study to confirm the truth.
"The focus so far has been to interview 35 jungle-dwelling Indians who discovered
the coin, bootprints and a man's name carved in the trunk of a tree," Dr. Sabitinni
said.
"Skeptics have found it very easy to write this off as a hoax, but they
conveniently overlook several crucial facts.
"For a start, the site is 100 miles from the nearest city, San Mateo, and is in
jungle so forbidding and remote that no outsider could possibly get in without Indian
guides.
"For another, they didn't see, as I did, a huge circular area of the jungle that
had been flattened to the ground. It looked as if it had been done with a steamroller, but
the best explanation I can offer is that a huge object landed there.
"Perhaps it was some sort of hover craft or a flying saucer."
The Indians told Dr. Sabittini and Benavides that they were drawn to the site by an
unusual smell that grew stronger as they got near.
"These people are quite primitive, but they have been to clinics, and they
described the odor as being 'like the inside of a hospital'" said Benavides. "We
don't know what it implies."
Dr. Sabittini acknowledge under questioning that the coin - which bears the
images of a king and appears to be British - could have been minted by a prankster.
But the date, 2074, jibes with the date that was found etched on the tree.
"Someone carved Tom Sullivan, July 2081, and another work that began E-N-G,"
said Dr. Sabittini.
"If all is as it appears to be, that would make the unique coin seven years
old."
Analysis showed that the coin was minted from ordinary copper and zinc.
But Dr. Sabittini wasn't sure experts would be able to determine if it actually is
seven years old "without extensive testing."
The expert pointed out that several stones had been removed from the temple but he
could not say with authority that anything else had been taken.
"It's conceivable that someone from the future came here looking for
relics," he said. "Based on Indian legends, we believe the visitors
may have made several appearances, first materializing here when the Incan
civilization was still thriving in the 16th century.
"But at this point, there are several possible explanations for what went on out
there.
"Needless to say, we'll be looking into this further," he said.
"It's intriguing and a bit mind-twisting to think that we might be in the
possession of a coin that has yet to be made that was delivered to us by a man who
has yet to be born.
"It's enough to make you think that everything we have been taught about life,
death and human existence is not entirely correct, if not absolutely wrong."
