A Czech scientific expedition has claimed to have found a lost Inca city at the highest altitude to date in the Andes Mountains of Bolivia. A team of two Czech scientists and two researchers - including the head of the philosophy faculty of Olomouc, Ivo Bartecek - spent three weeks of the South American winter to prove that Inca and pre-Incan civilisations once existed at the highest regions of the Andean mountain range. The expedition centred on the area around Lake Titicaca. The Czechs hope to shed new light on the life of the Incas and their history.
