2 km Inca tunnel discovered

Haven't seen anything yet in English, but La Repubblica reports that a Spanish archeologist working in Cuzco has found an underground tunnel over 2 km long, that connects the temple of Koricancha with the fortress of Sacsahuaman. The tunnel is part of a complex of passages linking the Inca capital's principal public buildings, passages that have now been mapped using advanced techniques such as ground-penetrating radar. The alignment of the tunnel suggests that the placement of the buildings was determined astronomically.
