Mattievich Kucich, Enrico Clemente *

Enrico Clemente Mattievich Kucich is of Italian descent and lectures at Lima University, in Peru. Professor Kucich follows the work of Henriette Mertz and is convinced that the ancient Greeks discovered America and that a local Peruvian language, Chuetsua, is based on classical Greek. In his book, Journey to the Mythological Inferno^[400] he locates Troy in America and then equates Atlantis with Troy. In 1986 he wrote a paper^(a) that focused on orichalcum, which he claimed were mined in the Atlas Mountain that was located in the Peruvian Andes. In 2015, two further articles were published on the Epoch Times website^(b)(c) that related to other aspects of Mattievich’s theories.

While Mattievich identifies the entrance to Hades of Greek mythology as El Pongo de Manseriche in the Amazon Basin^(d), Christine Pellech locates it much further north where the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers join in Ontario, Canada.^(e)

Originally published in Portuguese his book has been translated into Greek as well as English^(f).
