South American media service Las Ultimas Noticias, states that ruins in the Peruvian village of Chucuito were in fact built by the present-day villagers - about 12 years ago.

The Inca empire was at its height roughly between the years 1430 and 1530. Millions of tourists were reportedly attracted to the ruins, but experts recently found out that they had been built in order to persuade authorities to invest more to persuade more travellers to visit.

Rolando Paredes, director of the National Culture Institute of Puno, a nearby town in the Peruvian Andes, is quoted as saying: "People have literally created a myth."
