However, different archaeological explorations have found remains that point that was already used in the Neolithic and abandoned to improve the climate , to be inhabited again in the Neolithic, about 3000 years BC, by a pre-Shuar tribe.About 1500 BC Shuar arrive in the area and mix with the inhabitants of the Cave of the Tayos that is occupied until, approximately , the 500 AD which is used only as a ceremonial place and for the annual hunting of tayo chicks.The respect that the Shuar feel for the Cave of the Tayos comes from the belief that the spirits of their ancestors dwell in it.At present it is possible to descend to the cave with the permits given by the Cave Corporation of the Tayos in Kuankus.

The Metallic Library of the Cave of the Tayos

The legend of the Metallic Library of The Cave of the Tayos was born after the expedition organized in 1968 by the Hungarian speleologist Juan Moricz.He said that he had found in a hidden place in the cave a library composed of metal plates left by a very advanced civilization that lived there 250,000 years ago, Moricz used to reinforce his claims the collection of objects that a religious elder named Carlo Crespi kept in his convent in Cuenca, Ecuador.The Swiss writer Erich Von Daniken, a supporter of the ancient astronaut theory, wrote a book entitled "The gold of the gods" in which he claimed to have made an expedition to the Cave of the Tayos and that he had found the mysterious metal library.Later it was found that everything was an invention.The objects that Father Crespi had disappeared mostly in a fire and at his death the rest was apparently sold.Only photographs and footage remain.Those who were able to study these objects believe that most were gross fakes that the Shuar handed over to the kind father Crespi because they thought they were happy that way.

In 1976, the Scottish explorer Stanley Hall organized an expedition to the cave in which numerous people from various fields of science participated and was sponsored by Astronaut Neil Amstrong.Although Stanley Hall was an enthusiastic supporter of the theory that Earth had been visited in ancient times by aliens, the conclusion was negative in this regard. No remains of any metal library were found , it was found that what some thought had made human hands were geological formations and, yes, they highlighted the mysterious beauty and grandeur of the Cave of the Tayos.

If the controversy continues due to the fact that apparently, in this last exploration, They removed from the Cave of the Tayos several boxes whose contents the expeditionaries did not want to show to the Shuar who tried at the beginning to prevent them from taking away, later claudicating.
