 | | A BBC TV documentary was severely critical of the Ica stones, drawing the attention of the Peruvian press and resulting in the arrest of Uschuya by the local authorities. | | | Interrogated, he soon admitted he had carved the stones himself; he wanted to bilk the tourists and claimed he never thought it would get out of hand on such a large scale. | | | Most claimed it was clear, if puzzling, evidence of an advanced civilisation from a time before the dinosaurs perished 65 million years ago. |
